do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
How it's been the 7 years I've known the truck 🤷🏻
Never given it a thought 😆
Must fill the spare cylinder though!
got three refillables here ... as I sold Autogas (and it worked out cheaper than buying filled cylinders) we never ran out - kept 'em for 'ron and probably still cheaper to refill than buy filled ;):giggle:

I once saw a hand pump for transferring between cylinders .. I’d like to be able to refill my FLT cylinders from 47s as 18kg FLT bottles can be hard to get sometimes

37.4 litres, so over a pound a litre ... Autogas was 80p-ish last time I went by the garage down the road that's done it for decades
LPG is (kg for kg) 80% the calorific value of petrol.
So, if the price of LPG is greater than 80% of petrol, you may as well burn petrol (hard in a FLT with only one tank, I'll grant you).

Sodding awful weather this weekend so poking around at home and generally annoying the wife.
Over to local social club to say goodbye to a couple of friends who are leaving Devon for Amble in Northumberland . I understand why, but sad to see them go.
Youngest sprog back from uni. Just announced she has a boyfriend. I am oddly slightly put out that he’s taller than my 5-11” at 6-3”
Not sure why it’s important but still puts me out 🤣
Out in shed sorting my drill box out. 3 years of daily use no problem, then Friday one of my drill bit boxes magically wedged itself under the impact wrench and the drawer jammed solid. Took a lot of fiddling to sort it out. More shadow foam required !

Glass of red in the shop. Man's got it's sorted.
I feel your pain a trapped rollcab drawer can cause some really nasty words..

The wife took me out for a beef dinner at a Dartmoor pub last night, followed by a walk around a part of Devon that I’ve not explored much before . Saw this useful looking unit parked up. Wondered if @Storrsy knows where I was ?

Never been to the pub before but did spend a very cold morning at the nearby lay-by in May 1995 waiting for the army to uplift us after a sudden snow dump cancelled the Ten Tors.

3 miles from Princetown!? Theres nothing 3 miles from Princetown! Id guess it's in the Walkham valley somewhere between Merrivale and Sampford Spinney?
10 out of 10. Never walked down there before , although apparently I’ve run past Sampford Spinney church on on the Tavy 7 before- but I didn’t recognise it. Nice churchyard.

What was the Dartmoor inn like? Still haven't been there! Was working doing stuff up at the quarry behind only a week or two back

Wife had a 10oz sirloin and I had the 8oz burger . Full plates with triple cooked chops and salad . Bottled water and a pint and was £59.50. So not cheap, but certainly not out of the way. Most of the beef is Philip Warrens. Really good meal and 100% would go again. Wife reckons best chips she’s ever eaten.
If you are a vegan .. don’t go 🫣

Bill who used to run that pub - still lives next door I think- , retired farmer and couldn't be arsed with punters really, me and a mate were in there after work one eve and a car drew up outside, he'd turn all the lights off so it looked like he was closed- we were just sitting there in pitch black drinking our pints!

That's not a bad price tbh if it's good quality. Pubs aren't cheap any more but you don't mind paying if it's decent grub.
