a fairground life(Edinburgh -Glasgow)

Saturday night was the last night of the fair near Edinburgh. We closed promptly at 9pm and started to take down the miami. "r" and I had it ready for the road in an hour. I noticed an oil leak under the ride, this will need looked at before we open in Glasgow. It was tight in the small car park we were in and as a result we had to reverse the ride out and jack knife it around a corner. Doing this led to a tyre being popped off its disc. It must have been down or very soft for this to happen. We drove the truck up onto a block on the inside tyre to take the weight off the flat one. Then we put the air line on and blew it up. This all took up an extra hour and it was nearly 11pm by the time we got underway. We arrived in Glasgow just before 1am. With the clocks going forward I've lost another hours sleep aswell. Today we moved the other rides to Glasgow from Stirling, the dropzone and the skydiver. I started to erect the skydiver but the generator would not start. I hope its just the battery flat after sitting for a couple of months. Tomorrow we will try to get them all set up.
