I’d just like to send a thank you out there to all following my exploits. I never really thought people would be interested but flying solo as an aging dinosaur it’s good to know there is some interest out there. Hopefully be posting the Dublin resurrection soon amongst other projects.

One we did some years ago in great nick but for the belts which to be fair have lasted over a decade but now a nice new set fitted and adjusted just right to not preload the bearings!!

Second visit was getting a long overdue blower out for repair but solo. To be honest I’d forgotten two keen facts 1. You couldn’t get within 100 yards of the church with a vehicle!🤣🤣 2. The blower in question was a single phase X10B from the stable of BOB Derby! That information is really only significant if you know just how heavy an X10B is!!😂😂😂. Getting out of the enclosure was the first fun and games then onto my bogey the second. Luckily as I was wheeling out of the church a group of community service people were tidying up the church yard and one big guy was fascinated by this midget rolling a giant hairdryer across the frontage!😂😂 After explaining I asked if I might get a little help just getting in the van. He was great very enthusiastic and we had it loaded in one fail swoop. I offered to pay him for his kindness but he refused and yes I know technically they have to but I felt bad about that so treated him to some home made chocolatey thing instead. A confection I make for friends and family. He was chuffed! This got me to thinking that in these dark times everyone is first and foremost a human being. Just treat people with kindness and respect and do your best to help each other and you really can’t go wrong. Everyone has a story and it’s always best not to judge!
