The power lines can't cope with all the buses plugged in at the same time, they'd melt :( Buses take a lot more power than cars so they use diesel generators

Mornin Nice morning with no frost Electric bus just went gliding silently past after charging overnight via a huge diesel generator at the depot. Problem solving on the Volvo today, see what's draining the battery Happy Friday Stay busy all :)

Evening Brand new battery dead flat on Volvo after being stood 3 days. 🤔 Have to have a look at it tomorrow

Managed to get it up to 11.9 volts and left it overnight, Twas down to 9.1 volts this morning so thinking it's goosed

Took my leisure battery off the caravan to charge it at home. Solar sposed to keep it topped up but there was only 3.5 volts in it. Is it time foe a new one 🤔

Mornin Dry and cloudy bright here Been saving up for a jar of coffee, sold my alloy ramps today so maybe have enough :D Stay busy all :)

Morning Dry and bright here Plugged an old keyboard into laptop and it works so got puter back :) Cafe for breakfast shortly Just told solicitor not to rack up any more costs re divorce, can't afford it and nothing really happening, sure I can do it alone from now on. 🤔🤔 Stay calm all

Can you say that again slowly .... I let the battery go flat and going to kick it when I gets home. Then try it in the morning

Afternoon On me mobile cause laptop gone funny Keyboard dont work at all, nowt, zilch. Havin a brew an a Mars bar while I decide what to do

When you put vac advance pipe on the tickover will speed up and you'll have to adjust it down

If timing too far advanced it will act like a flat battery when turning over.

Best without any back pressure at all on an old diesel, you must have had a problem with something else if it was down on power 🙂

Burned mostly old pallets on mine, logs never got as hot as old blocks off pallets :)

When I was running a wood burner I read somewhere that it was putting the same amount of carbon into the atmosphere as the tree took out before it was cut down. And you're right about the temperature, too many people just burning and not regulating the burn, plus burning fresh wood which smokes

Mornin Dry, still, and the sun's shining Glass is going up Starting diet again today, need to loose a few pounds after the xmas binge Have a great weekend all Stay safe :)
