See if you can work out how it works before the end of the vid. @DanClarke can you make a 3 wheeled version?
Damn. Yootoob vid won't upload. Its a pushbike with square wheels --------

Yes, all they have done is make the wheels a square frame with a tank-track covered by a tyre-tread type track driven around the frame. Awfully low-speed, inefficient and just a visual gimmick.

Not that long a go shops in the UK where shut Saturday afternoon and all day Sundays pubs last orders 10-30 Tv test card also 10-30 no compulsory work on Sundays
 
Well today has overall beena good day.
Tried out the new to us Electric Rotovator. It works very well indeed.
Then off to toon as you know.
Then back to finish off repairing the bog and fitting an isolation valve. Bit of swearing involved as plastic pipe got cross-threaded when struggling to attach it to a right angled fitting under the back off the tank. Had to take it off and shorten it. Then once on it leaked in eaxctly the same place as it had originally.:mad::mad::mad:
Fact is that water pressure, even with a reducer, is much higher than in the UK and I had to dare to tighten fittings a bit harder, despite hating to do this with metal to plastic. Also needed to change the material the washer was made from. One more slight leak cured just by a bit more tightening and all is done. Couldn't get the propah connecting bolts so made do and covered the heads that go under water with copper slip. As all the water does is flush!
Still tis nice to be able to cut the water off to it by just turning a little knob 1/4 of a turn.

Then the weird thing.:eek::eek::eek:

A coupl of days ago I had noticed that the knob and nut within it plus the T-shaped threaded bar and solid bar that are used to connect a lower corner of the dog guard to it's location thingy in the car interior had gone missing. This thingy has been broken some time and I have yet to get around to sorting something out. Useless piece of plastic, it was only a matter of time. So I have searched everywhere the dog guard has been as it stays attached to it, normally. Searched the car, nothing. Had sort of given up hope.
When W causally says, "Look, I found this when raking through the patch of earth we rotovated this morning." and holds up the T shaped bit! Blessed thing is only 1" long in its longest dimension.
So how on earth did it get to somewhere at least 50 yards from the dog guard and a place I hadn't taken the Disco, and THEN how did it get rotovated and still found? :confused: Miracle, and actually a good thing cos of the two bits it would be the hardest to replicate.

I am thinking that the generator was moved from the rear of the Disco to the shed in a wheel barrow and maybe, somehow, the bits had fallen into it in the back of the Disco? But still the rotovating went on some way from the route Disco-shed. And the rotovator travelled in another .
car.:confused:
We specialise in this. Last year W found a pair of glasses she had lost about 3 years previously when gardening, don't ask me how you cannot realise you have lost them from your face. :rolleyes: She was sure she knew which bed it happened in, so at the time we searched and searched, having in the end to put in an insurance claim as they weren't cheap.
Thing is, they were in a totally different bed on the other side of the house. :rolleyes:

So I'll be out again tomorrow searching for yet another needle in a haystack. :rolleyes:

Sleep well folks and @kevstar, hope all went well today.;)
