a fairground life

I was up and away just after 8am to get another compressor. I went to a nearby B&Q and they had just the one. It was the same make and size, but oil-less. At least I won't have to check the oil in the future. I went directly to Alloa. I parked the jeep outside the fair because of the heavy muddy conditions to avoid making more mess.I carried the compressor in. My brother had removed the old one last night so I only had to bolt this one on. At that I remembered I had drilled holes to suit the mounting frame on the previous one so I would have to do the same again. Within an hour it was fitted and running. The cut off and pressure output was adjusted to suit the ride. If it lasts as long as the old one that will be ok (30 months). At that it was about turn and head off to open the Miami and DZ. My wife had returned the faulty one and received a refund. 

Pull down Sunday night at Alloa, we have to stop at 10pm for the nearby houses. We are not going to get out quickly anyway, the mud will slow everything down, if the skydiver is off the park before 5pm that will be a bonus. At least the next fair is tarmac. Some other fairs nearby have had to be shuffled due to the weather. The winch will be thawed out tomorrow.
