Hoorrah!

Yesterday Dave (who seemed more active - take that as you will), and I went on a jolly shopping exhibition to Northallington.
On the list where lubes for kermit, a couple of plant sprayers...

(pause - fook me! Dave's just asked me if I want a brew "just looking after your needs")

Any way, found a lube shop and got some more bits for Olive too. Then we went on a explore of a farm suppliers - fook me was that an Alladins cave - came away with amongst other things a shepherds whistle.

In the garden centre we eventually tracked down a plant sprayer with hose an nossel. The annoying thing about this is I have 2 at home just for this purpose. One is for EP90 and the other ATF. Makes refilling those arkward parts, gearbox, axles etc, so much easier. And 2 because it is not recommended that you contaminate one sort of lubricant with another.

So a complete fluid change may happen on Kermit today - hopefully James will come over and give me a hand while Dave potters about on the farm.

Hoorrah!
Dave and I have been planning a bit of Cray fish trapping over the last few days, and on our shopping jolly yesterday we aquired all the bits we thought we'd need to make a Cray fish trap, like a lobster pot but longer.

Anyway, after much trimming and folding of garden netting and mmuch use of the savour of the world ie cable ties, we finally had what we thought would make a great cray fish pot. ]

With the addition of a modified sugar shaker as a bait holder we set of down to the beck at about 10 last night. With both of wearing head lights we must of looked like a right couple of porchers - a worry for Dave apparently.

This morning: Beutiful sunny day - best yet infact, Dave and I set of to take the dogs, Max and Buffy, for a walk and to see if we'd actually been successful.

Hoorrah! upon sliding down the bank of the river and trawling in our Cray Contraption we thought at first we'd not actually got anything but on further inspection, sitting there under one of the funnel ends was a small cray fish - it works, and buggar! I'd not got my camera with me, pictures will follow however.

No picture - it never happened, my motto
