Evening all, I put the yard managers nose out today....We both had a manitou & both of us were told to move the
massive digger buckets (unknown to me as the time) as I was asked to do it and had already moved one of them
but as I was driving in to fork it up he pushed it and straightened it up , so it thinking I would have a bit of a laugh
I turned out to get the angle then in & lifted it with one fork he went mental shouting oh bugger this bugger that
(words changed for the benefit of forum) ive had enough of this place & drove off in the huff oh how I laughed. 🤣🤣
Think he's a bit peed off. I feel bad now ive upset him. :confused:




Aye right 🤣🤣🤣
 
... please arrange for me to be locked away where I can do no harm.
I found myself out in my little workshop with WD40 and a 3M scouring pad.
The Prat Bernerd 3-Jaw chuck is no longer the tarnished "bronze" colour but a pristine shiny metal colour.
All the jaws were removed and similarly scoured clean.
Clearly, this is an early symptom of dementia and I need some intervention before I do the same to the 4-jaw chuck. :D
Sad thing is that I have made nothing with this new machine yet.
I likes cleanin stuff up anorl.. 🤪
Is ferrapootic..
 

Was thinking more.................

Do you oil the bits or something afterwards to stop em gettin rusty again?

Yes, a light wipe with oil.
What was on there was a mix of baked-on over time dried oil and rust; leading to a dirty-browny-yellow colour.
Scrubbed it all off and now they are steel coloured once more and looking pretty "spiffy". :)
The chuck cannot have had too much use because it runs true within about 3 thousandths of an inch after 60+years. :D
 
So, despite the weather, today was a good day, with just one tiny hiccup.
Got to Bath in plenty of time, walked to the material shop .....
Which wasn't there!:eek:
Peeps in the wool shop said the wimmins who ran it had retired.:( So W couldn't buy what she wanted.
Not really a big problem, there is a really huge material shop, like a warehouse, near us in Frogland so she will wait for that.
Meal was lovely and I got a free cheese platter as we were celebrating my buffday!;) They even lit a candle and putit in a piece of cheese! 🤣🤣

Play was very dark, "And now there are none" Agatha Christie, but well set, directed and acted. There were some funny bits and I didn't work out whodunnit till we was told. So it was fine.:):):)
On the way back we drove through a really deep puddle, a tiny wee bit worrying for a micro-second. Very pleased we had new tyres on .
The pressure transducer had arrived by the time we got back as well. (I think, ain't opened the box yet!);)

Dogs had left us quite a few "presents" us having left them for 9.5 hours. Worse than sometimes but still not too bad. ;)
