Today at work

[Lakes Nash]

I think the finished subs emerge from the other end, the pace of build is so slow I think one emerges about every 3 years

My nephew is a welder on stage 1, moaning no overtime as stage 2 are so slow, maybe it was them that made a sub that was down periscope? That picture doesn’t really show how big that building really is! Bit like Heysham power station!

Yes, that’s right. I zipped around to Morrisons car park so see if there was anything around - zilch.

There were three frigates moored there for a long time, destined for the Indian Navy. They were handsome things.

EDIT - they were corvettes for Brunei.

I know a engineer up in the dales that made brass valves for subs under contract from another firm . Made them in his little shed.

 

[Just because]

Actually felt like a summers evening but guess what yes rained this morning

 

[A Trebor]

Contractor/friend came yesterday to wipe up the osr and if weather plays ball will get winter barley today

 

[Bob lincs]

The little dog is very impressed with the new cab layout , finally he’s got somewhere to sit .

 

[Adeptandy]

So bored with the weather that I combed a radiator.

Surprisingly effective.

Surprisingly effective.

Spent a lot of time in the past straightening fins with a small screwdriver/knife after getting to close with the pressure washer

That is a lovely clean sample.

That is why I invested a whole £7 or so in the comb, I learned about it on here I believe.

Neither did I - but it is on order now........

Thanks @Pan mixer - that's £7 you owe me..............

Just had a phone call to say " we will be combining your rape this morning "
.......just as I was getting ready to go out .
Rush on now to get it baled before the rain hits !! ......clouding over here already

Finally had a decent day with sun and wind yesterday. 45acres planet Spring barley cut, baled and hopefully cleared by lunchtime today. My daughter came home which was a massive help. I'm not sure she appreciated the T550 without autosteer after driving an X9.

Looks a tidy swath of straw !

 

[Steevo]

Fing barley in the fing shed. My maths error - didn't need to push it up so high.

Surely always better pushed up high - more efficient use of space leaving room in the front to store something else like a machine or a pallet or two.

Unless of course you're floor drying and the height will reduce capacity?

Baler cracking on

Not much here though
Raining now
