Don't neglect the batteries. It would help if you bought a stand alone battery charger for now. about a 20 amp one and plug it into that mains lead with sockets.

The landlord once told us that you drank in there regularly and not certain of this but you drove an old Austin Healey 3000.

No Rod. The Hop Pole pub near Bishops Stortford, near Stansted airport.

Incidentally Rod. Do you know the Hop pole pub ?

I doubt if soft solder would hold for long, if the back boiler gets short of water again and overheats it will melt and blow out again. It will need to be brazed or sliver soldered.

Just sew a large squab cushion to the seat of your pants, to sit on any seat or plank. You won't lose it.

My old post from years ago. Fix lots of small panels to Sunflower stems, they will always face the sun. KIS.

The days of steel wheels and wheel trims, tying them on with cable ties. My customers always asked me to replace the ties when removing wheels during a service. Alloy wheels are a real pain and are usually no lighter than steel wheels. No one nicked steel wheels for the wheels, maybe for the tyres though. She meant wheel trims on steel wheels.

Might even fit old Rattletrap.

I wouldn't be surprised if the heat from the silencer melted the inner nylon sheath of that cable stiffening it too much which caused strain that snapped the cable. The blue plate to which the cable is clamped to might be moved to the left a little away from the silencer, but I can't see in your photo how it's attached. The silencer coould be turned a quarter turn to move it out of the way but looks too rusted to attempt it.

The operating cable at 1o'clock on your yellow circle looks like it's very close or touching the exhaust silencer which light have melted the inner plastic sheath of the cable. Also check the outer cable clamp also at that location, two screws are tight. The same at the control lever at the helm.

Plenty of elephants on the TV channel ''Wild Earth''. About all the game reserves in South Africa, on 24 hours.

Barclays bank used to do marine mortgages, whether they still do I don't know.

Be very careful prising it in half to get to the sim. A friend gave me a Smartphone and whilst I was doing it someone knocked on my boat very loudly, made me jump and the phones screen cracked and split, end of Smartphone, Meccano wouldn't fix it, so back to my trusty Nokia 3220.

And if you don't tie the rope to the magnet properly and it comes off after deployment, don't panic just tie some scrap steel or your anchor to a rope to retieve it. If the rope comes off that you'll have to begin again with more metal and magnets. If this keeps happening eventually the pile of magnets and metal will pile up like a termite hill and break the surface of the water enabling you to grab hold of it all and haul it out.

I made my magnet from an enormous outdoor music festival type of loudspeaker magnet. I drilled and tapped for an eye bolt. Very powerful, I towed a boat with it, no problem.

Do away with those cilly cill markers I say and then folk would make sure they're boats are kept well forward if they don't know the extent of the cill.

Compressed air must be blown at a paper filter at the engine intake side of it. Blown at the outside air intake side will just force muck further into it and make it worse.

Ahoy Matty. Stortford Boats still has lots of those cards left. I've just bought some.

Biggles probably.

It can be tough to make ends meet with rising prices especially at times like Christmas. So here's a little wheeze to save a few bob. Christmas cards. If one writes them in pencil the recipients can rub the words out and use them again next year, or indeed again this year if they're sent them off early enough. If everyone did it, what a saving, they could be re-sent like this indfinately until they end up in tatters anyway. Shame nothing can be done about the outrageous cost of postage stamps though, but I'm working on it and will report back in due course. The same could be done with the envelopes if you write them in pencil, peel the stamps off and tuck the flaps in instead of sticking them down. Bizzard.

Ah yes, I did that more recently when a cumulative update wouldn't install and was again slowing my pc right down, it fixed it and Microsoft eventually removed that update, it became famous, thousands were in trouble with it. I didn't know about the reinstall for the Malwarebytes defender clash issue.
