which part, the motor or the flow horizontal or both?

especially at the prices they charge , one example to recieve an email- they can charge £13 to send one out £26, shocking

probably replacing all the old gas meters with modern smart ones in the process if they have any sense.

no pictures just yet, but the other rear windows have now recieved their hoppers and glass, work slowly progresses in the background, more often than I post updates, because one evening may just be 10 minutes cutting out the side frames for the next set of hoppers, and then followed a day later by the caps and spacers, a third day may be cutting the crystal cases to size and then fitting on a fourth day, then of course I dont always get anything done every day, so while progress is ongoing it isnt always at a point where photographs show a great deal happening

we do manage to drag them up to our madness level eventually

when I went down there the other year in Janet, there was less that 2 foot on the depth gauge half way along and the prop kept walking the stern sideways as it bit into the mud of the bottom, so its about time it was deepened

for turkeys you cant beat 5pm christmas eve at the supermarket when they are reduced to silly amounts as the supermarket is going to be closed for two whole days. (ps I do have tinned baked beans in the cupboard just in case they have run out or the turkey needs to defrost for 36 hours)

was it sent by email from india?(or south africa maybe)

what would happen is that petrol stations would be connected up to the gas network (now running on hydrogen) and you would just connect up to a hydrogen pump and fill your tank as normal (actually thinking about it they might well run a storage tank of liquid hydrogen on site, so maybe they would recieve deliveries in liquid form and pump liquid to the vehicles tanks) live trials of a half way house system where they mix hydrogen into normal natural gas have been underway for a year already https://www.northerngasnetworks.co.uk/2018/11/29/hydrogen-to-heat-homes-14-9m-for-uks-first-trials-on-public-gas-network/ current reports say that all of the petal gas pipes should have been replaced with the modern plastic piping by 2030, which will enable a full switchover to hydrogen to be achieved in the mean time a mix of natural gas and hydrogen seems to be on the cards as an interim carbon reduction measure, burning hydrogen doesnt result in carbon dioxide (just water as the exhaust by product) so other than storage the hydrogen would be safer to burn on board a boat. the full switchover to hydrogen is planned before 2050 (so the government can hit its climate carbon targets)

I have experienced that, fortunately the battery was in the engine bay, and not under the drivers seat in my van, but it still sprayed bits everywhere, added to that after 2 years the rust set in with a vengance, despite hosing the engine bay down immediately.

talking of the way things are going, electric propulsion is just the stop gap between fossil fuel and cleaner greener means of propulsion, it is being introduced while the car companies iron the wriinkles out of hydrogen fuel cells etc, the future in propulsion will be powered by hydrogen, with the side product of the exhaust as water, whether this will drive hydrogen powered engines or generate electricity for electric engines is another story. the future of the gas industry is that it will be going over to hydrogen, natural gas is a finite resource, the network is already being tested to enable hydrogen to flow in the current gas networks, and all they need to do is make the appliances and devices that operate from it idiot proof, so people dont blow themselves to bits misusing the appliances. the conversion in many cases will be similar to when we moved from coal gas to natural gas.

and the withdrawal symptoms include tweezers.

is this a new district council

i can truthfully say that i have dowsed for electricity cables, then when later compared to the electricity company records, there was a remarkable correlation (which is amazing since from working in the industry (and drawing up those records) I know just how inaccurate those records can be.

do be careful, as it may also be the electicity mains cable too, I used to use the method when the cable avoidance tool wouldnt find a cable (its easier to find cables if you use copper wire, you can put the short ends inside biro outers and that leaves them free to rotate.

I get asked to hang the decorations - mainly I think because i am the only one who can reach the ceiling without a stepladder and the whole bunch of risk assessments that would go with that.

easy peasy the bandsaw took care of them with no problems.

ok so window glazing, after looking around for clear plastics, my eyes settled on a stack of cd cases, so for an experiment the first two windows have been cut out of a clear cd case front

I am working with a decent hardwood, this is all made from burmese teak from the couple of pieces Charlie gave me for the model, its amazing how far a 2 foot length 6" x 1 1/2" goes when converted down into pieces only a few mm thick.

second window hopper in place

work has been progressing and the toe rails are all complete now, the boat was turned around for the second side, on to the next task, for this one it is woodwork on a miniscule scale, window hoppers, one done bar the glazing. opposite side hopper just needs fitting.

I would think that originally the purchase might have seemed a bit of a bargain, and the assurance that the engine would be fine at slower speeds may have sold the deal, but at the end of the day, changing to the new engine does seem to be the sensible option. when you have budgetry constraints you might make decisions that turn out not as good as they originally seem.

how about the greyhound at hickling, i seem to remember sport on there when i visited

Jay, your clock is slow

in two days 11 hours and 18 minutes it wont be an issue
