Druidic Dabblings and General Twaddle !!

[jd6820]

Evening, similar up here last few days has seen rain of biblical proportions, neighbour has farmed in our lane for 60 years...never seen owt like it.

UPS ..Ive had couple of these over the years...do the job yes don't last fir ever but for the money ..

APC are widely regarded as the industry standard but I've replaced plenty of them as well so..

Yep, I run the same UPS on our CCTV system. Works a treat so i'd recommend it for sure.

well Openreach engineer #6 has just departed ..... an' it's pissing down so thought i'd give our new 3mb BB a try !!!!! he thinks he found the fault ... his test gear was showing green ticks right down the list .... so fingers crossed ....................... 'til the next time ..... seems ok ATM

I'd hazard a guess that one is genuine, I`m sure I`ve collected some boxes from there.

 

[V8Druid]

knock at the door mid afternoon ... rained off and having a coffee ... Fedex 'man' "is this the annexe" "no mate down the other drive ... attached to the white farm house"
"Odd" says I to Serge, who'd called in for a cuppa ... "the inlaws, who were in there, been dead 12 months " ???
Ten minutes later Mr Fedex is back ..... this time he has this in his arms ....

" Apparently this is for you " "Certainly is mate, but why did you ask for the annexe " ????

quite HTF Germany could transform this into the above is beyond belief .....

Well impressed with the next day delivery though ..... fair trek that

and this is what you call a proper packaging job ...... top marks to the stores in Weimar

UPS also turned up this morning ..... must be 30 kgs ... had a shock when I went to pick it up off the floor outside the door ... wasn't quite expecting such a lump ...odd few scratches to the case, when I opened it up and the packaging job left a lot to be desired .... surprised the front panel hadn't sustained any damage ... being as it was so bloody heavy, but looks OK .... if it pees down tomorrow again I'll see about getting it hooked up .... pull old faithful out and give him a good blast out while he's out from under the desk, then get it all back in place, with its new best friend
now to go find a MUCH longer DSL cable, so's I can re-position the router closer to the UPS ............ oh and the BB is waaaaaaaaaay better than it's ever been ... good on young Lewis; he's done a brahming job on sussing the faults ... fingers crossed

 

[Lancs Lad]

I think you'll find they use a courier integration in their system with postcode lookup....FFS I get confused with Welsh stuff goodness knows how they get on.
Yup Europe service can be good...we sent something the other day ..following morning at 9am bloke in Czech said got it thanks!

 

[V8Druid]

so ................. this is what a 420 quid seal kit looks like

I will be googling the hell out of these numbers ...... but Parker ain't cheap either

got the new switch in this afternoon .....

and no more blocked filter light
this'll come in handy ..... next time it does come on

if I'm paying 45+ quid for carriage ..... it makes sense to have it sat ... even if it is over 200 squids ..... 'spensive toys have equally dear running costs I suppose ...I've not done badly in over 6 years of ownership ........ and it still makes me smile the way it does things ..... it is a superbly engineered tool and saves me no end of time and effort
Was expecting ear ache when I had to admit the cost of the box's contents to 'er indoors and much to my surprise, she as good as said the same ..." it's done well since you've had it " ...... "does this mean it won't leak oil anymore? "
so I'd better get on and fit some seals or there will be ear ache forthcoming

Have spent a fair bit of time on the cropper the last few days, between (and during at times) the downpours ..... that too has performed very well

and I've gotten pretty handy at driving it and sussing which way round to shove the lumps in (with the occasional bollock dropped - just obliterates the rocks) ... rule no 1 is :- do not stand anywhere other than beside it .... if you value your shins ..... and mine are still unscathed ...... finished the sixth -- or was it seventh bag of cropping this afters (thank ****) Job done and got it all down on the drive, before tea, ready for Reo to juggle into place ..... was a bit dark when I took these after tea ...

Reo's had a much better day .... than the last two ... we've both had some serious wettings this week

better pix when the sun shows its face again
SWMBO is over the moon with what he's done ... he has produced an outstanding job, fair play to him ........ an' if I don't get to bed he'll be here again 'fore I get there ... nite all

Abbey Seals try this crowd druid always been good for me in my time of awkward need..............................................................

thanks Stock .... filed for reference ... these sorts of things are so handy to have ... used to have a place called midnight motors round here, but don't think they're still going

@V8Druid , your parcel from Hydrema has travelled a slightly different route then your map indicates. Looking at the label on your parcel it has done the following:
Weimar - Erfurt/Weimar airport (ERF),I assume by van.
Erfurt airport - Liège airport (LGG), most likely by lorry.
Liège airport - East Midlands airport (EMA),by airplane
and from there on by surface transport.

thanks for the Parker stuff Boyo ..... looks like a Hydrema on the front cover ....... there's some sort of info. in that lot ..... gonna take a while to identify that lot

 

[V8Druid]

well the sun showed its face ... better pix... as promised

spent a bit of time on the cropper, 'fore it went back ... did the cutting bed and a new hitch handle (that i forgot to get any pix of) ...

and an hour playing about with the Clipper saw, with a new blade .. cuts it sweet as ... stone bricks .....

would take a while to lop enough for a pillar though !!
Monday morning ..

Monday evening

Massacred the lawn Sunday afternoon after i'd thought it'd dried enough ... was still heavy going and a three circuit cut ... blades full up, then half way, then a usual low level cut ... two collector fulls and quite some time to do .... then Dane'd the grass beside the drive Monday ...

and that was some of the shorter stuff ... not been cut in weeks, due to the poxy weather and was still VERY slick .... it's still lying where it fell ... decent day yesterday but a busy one ... Clara from 7.45 to 4.45 .. Vicki back in school, plus everything else to keep on top of .... took the cropper back just after nine and they were well chuffed with the repairs ... got a very decent discount and Reo had a good day, with some good dry weather .....

morning started well today, 'til about 11.30 ..... when the "light showers", fell out the sky and that was the end of play for today .... have had 12mm of rain, up 'til 4.30, when it stopped ... anything that'll hold water, including the coffee cups abandoned on the wall top had a good 12mm in 'em
Keeping Clara amused for the day's been a challenge
Reo's getting there ..... quietly

There aren't many people who'll send something back from hire in better Nick than when it came out

All the stone for the front elevation all got cut down with a clipper it was running constantly for weeks

 

[Mogman]

There aren't many people who'll send something back from hire in better Nick than when it came out

It’s a wonder he didn’t paint it too

 

[V8Druid]

There aren't many people who'll send something back from hire in better Nick than when it came out

I like to if possible .... they're always pleased to see you again then ..... even if it's only getting it cleaner than when you had it ... people remember that sort of thing ....... plus i always get on well with the lads from the local garage / hire place ... It's rare i hire and even rarer that I'll borrow anything ..... but when i do .... ....... 's worth the couple of hours I spent on that, to me

It’s a wonder he didn’t paint it too

third word is off ....... yer cheeky g*t

 

[V8Druid]

so ......... an on/off week weather-wise .... Reo's progress's been slowed with a lot of heavy showers and even rained off a couple of times this week ...

but he's quietly creeping up the drive ...

forecast is good for the coming week so hopefully he'll have more luck ... it looks great
I've managed a bit of pottering time ...
got meself some pin keeps made up yesterday afternoon

got four pins to knock out ..... picked up that bar of 70 mil this morning and dropped it into the band saw this morning ......

after dropping the 7 footer on the bench .... for some further attention .. you'll recall the issue I had with a certain pin .. well I had an idea last night on how to deal with what i thought was the issue .....

cut the keep off t'other end and go at it from there

then Clara arrived ..
so several hours later .......

I had the b'stard

ten minutes with the die grinder ....

and stone, followed by a flapper ... and

.... yon bosses looked a lot better ..... that little die grinder is one of those Katsu jobs ... a well spent 20 summat quid .. lots more grunt than the air versions and so quick
as suspected ... bloody pin was belled .......

........enough to be visible and feel-able

no wonder the 10t press couldn't shift it ..... 0.8 mil too bloody big to go through a 70 mm boss
was determined not to be beaten by a ****ing pin

need four at 370 mm, so'll lop the belled/nadgered end(s) off this un, cut a new 425 mil pin to replace this and three more at 370 milli.s for that nice Miller scoop I modified a while back and me fave Geith three footer, which is currently fitted with a longer 410 mm set from me B20 adapter ...... and everything'll have their own pins, without any peeing about, swapping 'em about
so .... job for the morning, after I've gotten Reo set up for the day and filled up with his morning cups of coffee ... he's worse than me ..... don't bother me 'til I've had at least two cups ...... especially at half seven of a Sunday morning

 

[V8Druid]

forgot these ..... well ran out of pix ... again
last night's sky ...... pix do not do it justice ......

was a pretty amazing sunset

 

[Cyberprog]

So I've had a busy weekend too!
Yesterday saw me ripping the week old Kia apart - bloody instructions from Kia were dodgy, the cabling I was looking for was shown on the drivers side (LHD) A-Pillar, so looked there first and no sign of the ones I wanted! Looked on the actual Drivers side (RHD) A-Pillar and there they are. Also found airbags, which I wasn't expecting - thought they were supposed to put airbag SRS markings near them?

Anyway, with the car ripped apart I was able to measure up for the LED footwell kit I'm planning on making, looks very easy to install and I'm just waiting on some drillbits and some connectors now.
Took a LED out on a battery last night, without any angling they look OK I think;



Then today I got my new toy out;

Ripped the Disco apart


and stuck it in;


And then promptly removed it - it was rubbish! Back on eBlag it goes!

And all week we've been full tilt still at making masks;


Helen's done a sterling job at this, and is having her first proper day off without doing the tree today for 45 days!
