Laverdaroo:
Well, you know I said there's time yet?
Well, half three this arvo, chap in the loader shovel gives me a little 'love tap' on my bumper which from behind,it's a common occuranceas for a bit of fun! I was using the concrete pecker to smash out a load of rock at the time and for once had the door open, that shunt knocks my phone off my quadlock on the window and I just sit there and watch it bounce on the floor, then down onto the tracks of the 30 tonner I was on and landed on a rock but it landed at a funny angle that flipped it into a beautiful, rugbyball-esk spin whilst everything went 'slo-mo' for a second, I start to try tonleap out and I watch it go gently 'PLOP' into the reservoir......................which is 18meters deep just there.
With a swear I slammed the pecker down and split one of the hydraulic lines, there's another 130 quid and then getting out to swear louder, I catch my 'IV' that goes from my tummy to my insulin pump on my belt and snapped the line meaning no insulin delivery............................I didnt say anything, I just got in my van and came home.
Another right off of a day where it appears I like to work for nothing. >:( >:( >:( >:(
New Line on the pecker and a new phone as I'm sim only................ Bout a grand for today...............Good going!
It's the only phone i've never insured as it was due for a contract renewal in October and a free handset..
F**KIN SICK!
Nice work Ken, sadly my enthusiasm for anything has evaporated today. Appreciate it mate.
Just so you know, my trip has been brought forward by 5 days so I go on the 15th. Dont kill yerself doing those sliders mate, I think I have to split the cases again as Im not happy with the selection. I had some shots to post but they're on my phone!!
It appears now that all is buttoned up that the lever has full travel but the selecter wheel only turns half a selection leaving the upper selector wheel thing on the point of the star rather than going into the web and selecting the gear. If you spin the shaft that goes to the clutch, it will select up and down the box but only if you manually twist the shaft or the front sprocket shaft. Not sure if this is the norm but doesnt appear right to me. I cant see a fault and start the whole sequence of fitting the mech and finish it as described in the book, on the net, on you tube etc so head scratching but probably wont go out tonight into the shed, Havent the concentration nor the will TBH!
Sesman:
Roo…do not get on that plane😳
Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. Good luck is just around the corner…🤞
Sesman:
Out of interest Ken, what size motor do you recommend for this metal shining lark. I’ve just acquired two bench grinders. One is .33 hp(say 250w) and the other is more powerful. It must be cos I can’t lift it unaided! Both are Single phase jobs powered off a 13A plug.
Sesman:
The big uns 750w.
Oddjob:
Use the 750w one, 250w is far too underpowered.
Just for your Roo.
Almost done, final polish needed and some work on areas where the polishing mop won't reach.
