But how would you weed out (excuse the pun) the ahem, white van with a tow bar type out from taking the Certs??? :lol:
-
Could be the clutch shaft. Could be the inside of the drum causing issues. Could be a worn drum rattling around the bearing. There are a couple of things that could cause this. But it shouldn't eat the bearings quickly.
-
Hmmm I'm afraid they are all plastic. I would look into anything else that is causing the bearing to fail.

Had a good sleep earlier. Even tho the other said I did nothing but moan and move about. Was reliving today's events in my sleep. Had text from crew members on my phone. The fisherman has had an amputation of his arm. Not a good thing i suppose but at least he still has his life.

Since joining the lifeboat last year I have dealt with death on three occasions. The first job I had with them was a body recovery from the channel. This along with the other two have opened my eyes a lot to the importance of just living. I have never been closer to my family, I have stopped regretting things in my life. Very wise words you have said.

Thank you, even got a pic in. And yes I was as sick as I look in the picture. My stomach wasn't up to much today. :lol:

Lifeboat callout to a fisherman on a boat with a severed arm. 05.15am. Went to see my stepdad after. Now in having a brew and soon a nap.
-
Oh dear. This morning was NOT fun. Well today anyway. A good Father's Day at home but not this morning. Pager call at 05.15, fisherman in trouble and making way back to Dover but not going to make it into the harbour. Severed his arm while fishing the boat, not a pretty site, looked more like a crush injury than a full sever. So first aid I idolatry administered and the bleeding stemmed, brought back to shore while me and another crew memeber brought his boat back in. Man taken to hospital and seen to. A good shout and managed to save a life today. So now its off for a good sleep. Night all.

Adders, Grass snakes in my garden
Rich2484 replied to Jesse's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
No the hissing and striking out is the adder. They will only nite as an absolute last resort. A hiss and strike is normally enough to scare anything away. They are tarvellers. They don't generally set up in a garden. They just travel through. When you see one track ther movements around the garden or the path they use, this will give you a good idea if they are just passing through or setting up at the back of the garden. A well used area will not be inhabited. I kow out of this as I have done a good bit of research to try and overcome my fears. Hasn't worked tho. -

The head has bigger scales on it than the adder. The colour tone is also different, the diamonds are really prominent on an adder. They are easier to spot and you will definatly know when you see one. They will hiss if you get close enough, they will also strike out, but the first strike is only warnings, they will only use venom if they are really annoyed, and this is if they are cornered or startled, the adder will back away quietly and disappear when a human goes near. They are nothing to fear, even tho I'm petrified. -

Adders, Grass snakes in my garden
Rich2484 replied to Jesse's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Here is a really good page for you to look at. Should clear up a bit over grass snakes and adders. Generally grass snaked have black spots down either side of there body, even with different shades of colour on them he black spots are easy to spot.. Adder or Northern Viper (Vipera berus berus) Also for interest where abouts are you as in some places they are very rare. -

Adders, Grass snakes in my garden
Rich2484 replied to Jesse's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Grass snake. Adder looks like this. It's a very good picture with strong diamonds. Some arnt this bright and a dull green colour. But the shapes are the same. For the record I hate snakes and I'm petrified of them, I freeze up at the sight of them. -

I wouldn't worry about the adders. They prefer to just hide away. Normally under nettles, unless it sunny then you may get one on a patio type area warming itself. It's only really the dogs, they will be curious but if you see one going for an adder just try and teach them no. Sounds like a good habitat you got going there. -
That's mental. "Coming to the hospital was probably the best thing to do" ........ Ya think????
-
That did get hit hard then. Best to remove it and inspect it for the damaged areas. Should be easy to spot if the arm has bent.
-
Havnt had an ms200t in for a while. Enjoying the break:lol:
-
Yeah get a pic up. Sounds like its bent downwards? Is that right? May have bent the metal deck rather than the arm on the adjuster, check the stud the tensioner assembly sits on.
-
Depends on a couple of things. One are the blades knackerd. Have they taken huge chunks out of each other. Are the bearings ok? The timing gear may be salvageable but this depends on what part is bent. And in what state the pulley is. Get it apart and give it a good going over. I don't know the price or availability of a new part without looking.
