MoreThanAdequate: April 2012
http://morethanadequate.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Day to day ramblings. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. I've finally decided to retire my decrepit old fedora in favour of a more authentically c19th Bowler or Coke hat. I was going to like that worn by the Friends of President. But I've checked and they tend to wear flat caps. I've been looking for one for some time. I'd order online but I don't know my hat size (metric or imperial) so it was a question of trying some on in a shop. That's what I did in my lunch hour today. Links to this post. Links to this post.

MoreThanAdequate: February 2014
http://morethanadequate.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Day to day ramblings. Saturday, February 01, 2014. The car is broken. Went over a large stone in the road at over 50 mph (saw it too late). The front wheel kicked it up enough that it hit the underside of the car, shattering the plastic undershield and smashing the sump that holds the bag containing the fuel borne catalyst for the diesel particulate filter. The DPF oil quickly drained out of the punctured bag, spraying all over the back of the car. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Day to day ramblings. Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Testing of a new autonomous electric shuttle at North Greenwich today. There's very little available on the internet about this - I've only found a month old article in the Mail Online. Paradoxically, even though they've done away with the driver they seem to feel the need to hire half a dozen marshals for this test. Somewhat like the red flag man required by the Locomotive Act.

Day to day ramblings. Monday, July 23, 2012. After an excellent morning in Cosgrove we set off back to Blisworth, arriving about 6PM. The weather was warm and sunny. I wore my new Coke hat and was mistaken by some gongoozlers. In Stoke Bruerne for an employee of the Canal and River Trust. I suppose they thought that anybody wearing a hat would be some sort of official. I'm hoping it wasn't because they couldn't imagine anybody wearing it voluntarily. Last night nearly saw me breaking the Brompton. I marr...

Day to day ramblings. Friday, August 08, 2014. The bow thruster failed today. After a little head scratching we decided to check the mega-fuse between the thruster and the battery. The 250A fuse had blown. Probably because of excessive use - the thruster is only supposed to be used for seconds at a time. Chandlery rose to the occasion and I bought two new fuses, fitting one and kept the other as spare. Moored at Lords Bridge. Total distance is 14 miles, 5¼ furlongs and 19 locks.
