a fairground life

Tuesday
The engineer called (he finally got back from Ireland) the spare wheels were ready for the train that I had ordered.
Wednesday
I went and picked the wheels up and then onto a west coast town to finalise an event I would be attending Friday.
Thursday
The spare shafts for the DZ arrived by courier.
Friday
"r" and I went and picked up the water lasers. We took them out to the west coast town for a Christmas parade. The street had been closed off from 2pm. It was 3pm when we arrived on site. The road was closed, but the cars ignored the closure signs, so we pulled on the pavement and waited for the rush to die down. Shortly after, the first rides appeared and we set the layout. The funhouse had to come in via another street so that when it pulled on site it was facing the right way. However this other street was narrow and it took a couple of shunts to make the turn. We had to create a bit of room by turning the give way sign a bit. The rain was easing off now and for 5pm everything was setup. We waited and waited and then at 6:30 pm the parade appeared. There was a lot of people, 'r' said-"you know in jaws when the guy says 'we are gonna need a bigger boat!', Well we are going to need a bigger fair!"The first wave hit and it was busy for a short spell and then it dwindled away. By 8 pm they were mostly all away. As if on Q the rain started to fall at 9pm and that was the finish. The street was totally cleared of all equipment by 10 pm. It was after 11pm by the time we got home.
Saturday-Sunday... In my box again, nothing much doing. At least no break downs.

Hello, I found his blog by the google is well interesting I liked that post. It would like to speak about the CresceNet. The CresceNet is a supplier of internet dialed that pays his users by the time connected. Exactly that that you read, are paying for you connect. The paid supplier 20 cents by hour of connection dialed with local connection over 2100 cities of Brazil. The CresceNet has an accelerator of connection, that leaves its connection to 10 times more quick. Who utilizes wide band can profit also, sufficiency be registered in the CresceNet and when is going to sleep to connect for dialed, is possible pay to ADSL alone with the money of the dialed. In the schedules of unique minute the expense with telephone is minimum and the remuneration of the CresceNet generous. If you will want linkar the Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blog I would stay grateful, to more and success.
