    It's with regret I have to inform you, Christina (Sparkychick) has passed

    Really sad news. The last posts she made on here she seemed to have come to terms with what was happening. I just hope in the end it was painless and peaceful.

    Trainee Electrician with a tool addiction needs ideas. DAY 5

    I'm with Pirate. Screwdrivers. Doesn't matter how many you've got you'll never have the right one so just keep buying. If I wasn't currently 100 miles from my van I would post a picture of my tool chest screwdriver draw. It's full. Plus the ones in my backpack and various other tool bags.

    Day 5 - The new Transit :-(

    It's white. What more can I say? It does have the company logos on it to break the 'whiteness' up a bit.

    Day 5 - The new Transit :-(

    Well, I've had my new Transit for a few weeks now. It's only done aound 3000 miles so far but what do I think of it? Let's put it this way, if I could have my old Transit back I would. So, what's wrong with the new one? Well, I still hate the 'square' steering wheel. The fuel tank is a lot...

    #5 of my 5 a week...and again, not a rant

    Ah Gamazda. Her version of 'Comfortably Numb' is an absolute joy. It's amazing how she can make her piano sound the way it does. And she's a looker too :cool:

    (Day 1) figured I'd share my adsb-b and acars plane tracker setup I built over time

    I wish all military would show up. I was working at Spalding yesterday. I could hear and, when clouds cleared, see the 'dog fights' going on overhead. Nothing showing up though.

    Day 3 - So what's that bit for?

    Bugger that. They end up in whatever position they want :D

    Day 3 - So what's that bit for?

    Different companies have different time scales for major maintenance on their GSUs (Generator StepUp Transformers) but every few years the transformer has to be disconnected totally and testing carried out to see if there are any issues. Both HV and LV sides are disconnected (I know technically...

    Day 3 - So what's that bit for?

    Well, this wasn't going to be my day 3 subject but today has been a long day and time is short. At power stations electricity is generated at one voltage then stepped up for distribution. The generator output is usually around 21kV. National Grid distribute at either 275kV or 400kV. DNOs go up...

    Pirate's Rant#4 no. 2 of 1 a day

    You obviously don't drive a van. Reversing out of a space with limited visibility can be dangerous. At supermarkets I always look for a double length space so that I can go straight through to the far space and drive straight out when I leave. If I must use a single space I always reverse park...

    Pirate's Rant#4 no. 2 of 1 a day

    Also, why, when the car park is fairly empty do they park right behind the van so that you can't open your back doors?

    (Day 1) figured I'd share my adsb-b and acars plane tracker setup I built over time

    Looks pretty good. Graphics are not as good as the FlightRadar24 app but then the web version of FlightRadar24 graphics are pretty poor too. I like the 'U' option which just shows military aircraft. It's currently showing just a A400 over Chester, an Apache over Cambridge and an Irish Air Corps...

    (Day 1) figured I'd share my adsb-b and acars plane tracker setup I built over time

    Hmmm...that looks too complicated for me. I think I'll stay with Flightradar24. Currently a 777 going overhead on it's way to Toronto

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Back from 2 weeks in Scotland. It was one of the best holidays I've had in a very long time. The weather helped a lot. The daughter actually caught a bit of a sun tan! Back to normality today. Got a week at Didcot to look forward to.
