Saabnut Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 As part of my job, I have to take a Coronavirus test before being allowed to join the next boat. Keep in mind, a failure (ie having it) would cost me that trip meaning no pay and probably any remaining work for the rest of the year. Of course, if they manage without me this year, chances are they will manage without me full stop. No pressure then. Whilst at home I take all precautions, limiting my exposure to others etc, but I have to take international flights via busy airports where I have no control. Yesterday I took my second test. Results just through, negative! Phew. I would go for a celebrationary beer except I am still required to isolate until joining the boat. Oh, and it is 13 quid for a beer........ paulplom, dome, The Moog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatylight Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'm sure that was an Eastenders plotline with Michel brothers. I knew someone who used to be involved in a UK race team that managed to get a US 24 hour race, unfortunately their only engine blew up in practice, they went and hired a yank tank with the same engine, swapped it into the race car, did the race, swapped it back and returned it with about 20 miles driven running like a wreck...Sent from my SM-A505FN using Tapatalk dome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the high-end tech is considered standard equipment nowadays, but it's funny to see it in something from BL. That was great. One thing though, does the car now employ any sensors?

PhilA Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I just woke up from a very strange dream. It was a mishmash of places rolled into one but in my dream it was my house. I dreamed that my mother spent £70 on this massive old Ransomes wood chipper machine, which was the size of a small bus, steam powered and had it shipped here for £1400. It ran ok, I picked up a log the size of my leg and threw it at the machine (arbitrarily, not anywhere like a funnel) and that action turned the wood into so much matchsticks. Then it stopped working and somehow it had grown an electronic control board, with buttons the same as the T1 test set on the switching room at work, and relays behind plexiglass that weren't working right. Someone came troubleshoot with me (don't know who it was) and then it all wouldn't work and I woke up. That's the last time I read up on fuel injection control for old engines when I'm tired.

PhilA Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I just went dig in the trunk of the new car, looking for the build sheet. I didn't find the build sheet but I found a live 20 gauge shotgun shell, the knob from the volume control on a DJ record deck and a piece of Lego.
