Did you do RAMs for that? Presume you had belt and lifejacket on.

OK, I thought about what you said and did a risk assement. The main one I could think of was that you wouldn't enjoy it as much as you could without a beer. So we sorted that.

Also found some pipe lagging!

Ac standard on 3 ton upwards with takeuchi. Very nice it is as well

Standard on any cabbed cat to now , very enjoyable

How’s everyone getting on with the heat, I was doing some fencing on Saturday in direct sun and despite drinking gallons of cold water couldn’t stay cool. So bought a paddling pool on way home and spent most of Sunday in it.

Florida cab season or those lucky enough to have ac.

any 3 tonners have ac as standard/option that isn’t ugly cab top unit?

Who needs ac?

In a word wet. Puddles in all the usual places been a bit of split by the looks of it, east of Keswick i don't think has been as bad as forecast but west of has been as bad if not worse.

SW 50mm lol there was 200mm forecast here for last 24ish hours. I don't buy into rainfall figures they quote here now for some reason they moved a rain gauge from Seathwaite the wettest place in the country to the top of honister pass just up the road from Seathwaite. The thing i can't figure is why you move something that's been in one place for probably 100 years unless you're trying to fudge figures after spending millions on flood defences which will not work.

Also the way they measure rainfall

 

[V8Druid]

agreed ... say we've had 'praps a forecast 10mm and when i look at tins left on me bench they have maybe 2+inches in 'em you have to question their reasoning/methods of measuring

It baffles me that they move a gauge to the top of honister pass where its always blowing a gale. You'd think the rain would be horizontal and miss it unless it's actually catching it on the way past and thats where the record breaking readings keep coming from. Either way i think the move is deliberate by i would assume the EA.

Yes often wondered...was always seathwaite then suddenly honister.
EA must have spent a few quid between Keswick and Kendal last 10 years

British meteorological society I'd have thought? met office for short
me tins're pretty sheltered on the bench .. anything landing/accumulating in 'em'll have come down pretty well vertically
