A juvenile Rainbow Lorakeet just showed up on our front porch. Fledgling that jumped maybe a day too soon and in rainy weather. We'll keep him calm and safe tonight and see how he goes tomorrow. Might have to call WIRES.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
I will do some soldering on the Mixx project today, the USB board has already been soldered onto the chipset, I was lucky enough to have already bought quite a few thin wires in different colours.

I’ve kinda lost interest in boro too. I had seen the Zaion a while back but haven’t heard anything about it. Also the Raga from aspire looks nice but I’ll not be ordering one.
LOLz......... I lost track of how many times I was interested and then not interested. :lol: :lol:

I am now firmly embedded in the 'not interested' in AIO/Boro camp. :greengrin:
I don't want to say that I won't buy anything in the future, and the interest may well pick up when I build my first AIO, but I'm very much an SBS guy.
Luckily I bought two U-Mods Unitank v2s that take rba heads, 44.7mm high, so the two Mobb v2s collecting dust can still be used.
In my AIO sits the kayfun BB which, in my opinion, is the best mtl rba available.

Update on Ralph the Rainbow Lorakeet::
His parents came down to see him this morning and I tried to get him to fly off with them . He wanted to, but the flight feathers in his left wing aren't fully formed so he never got airborne.
I phoned WIRES and they gave us the name of a local vet registered to deal with injured native wildlife. We dropped him off there safe and sound an hour ago.

I always thought that Rainbow Lorakeets fed on a diet of nectar, but now I know their favourite food is the human finger. Ouch.

That's a cool looking bird Pigs. I bet he could take a chunk of finger (or windowsill) lol

haha - true. They are amazing little dynamos. Common parrots around Sydney and tough as nails. They screech and sqwark and fight for their nest holes amongst stiff competition from other species. Very intelligent and aware of their surroundings (like most birds). I love the little buggers. Bright and brash, they never fly slower than full throttle.

One of the things I bought from CdV was the Kumo, they only had satin but the price was £15.70.

So while it's on the way I bought the Signature Tips atty&mod polishing rig from UK.

A couple of reasons why I finally bought a Kumo, first of all the Cabeo wicking is awesome and the Kumo has always been a great looking tank, but I'm most looking forward to comparing the AFC against the Corona.
Since I am now getting the Kumo, I will see if it is possible to use the Cabeo tank part on it.

Next week will be hectic as it will now be five packages in the air.
Most of what I've bought has been on Black Friday deals.

Maybe I'll take a trip to Italy and see if there are any good deals there, but with a burning Visa card, it might be best to go to bed.

Looking forward to your thoughts about the Kumo Tor. Compatibility with elements of, and also a direct comparison to the Cabeo. I don't own an authentic or clone of the Cabeo but I know you and others here rate it highly.

good morning folks,

Kumo is one I've wanted for a very long time, but it was always expensive based on what I was going to test & use it for, so when CdV had a super price, and there were other things they had 14% on that were on my list, so now it comes.
Steampipes had offers on things too, all the other times I've bought configuration Cabeo, this time it was a standard one due offer, since I already have a SS tank lying around I thought I'd build it in full SS, and then I'll have time to play a bit with Kumo vs Cabeo in tank section.
The interesting thing will be, can we build a Kumo 5.5ml or 7.0ml, and how does AFC compare against Steampipes Corona, and how does Kumo in mtl compare against Cabeo in mtl. It will though just be my thought.

    They are such an awesome and cheeky species, But I can only imagine how noisy a lorikeet nest would be!

    Good evening folks,
    couldnt sleep, heartburn lol.
    Anyway, Kayfun [lite] spare parts in a bag, Dome’s, Long Mode, Bell Cap, Windows, Evaporation Chambers, All in labeled bags with part numbers on them.

    Kayfun [lite] was my main atty until I found out there were other brands that were just as good or better, among others Dvarw is up there. Most of the Kayfuns I have are back to 2021, this also applied to spare parts which were in a good mess.
