Well back to civilisation (well Glasgow) today for more Guild cases. Told you I had filled my quota. Anyway a chance to catch up on emails, missed calls and update the blog.
Monday, I took the miami over to Selkirk, set it on the plot. "r" and I built it up then we headed over to Burntisland to attend to matters there. Just after 9pm we got back to the village. "r" dropped me off and he headed back to Glasgow to return some empty barrels and pick up supplies-paint & halogens. Noticed that the miami trailer brakes were poor so instructed "r" to have a go at them while at Selkirk.
Tuesday, spent all afternoon doing small odd jobs around the place. Finally since starting out had a few minutes to spare on the tackle. That's the benefit of being on site with the equipment and not commuting.
Wednesday "R" called to say he had removed a hub and found the shoes were worn down. Also he had found a kink in the service airline. He had also pulled up the other three slack adjusters. New shoes ordered, hopefully all this will resolve the brake problems. Wed-night we opened for the "Barra race" through the river. The afternoon was scorching, but in a repeat of last Friday evening the heavens opened at 7 pm and cleared the event. Closed for just after 8pm, sigh!
The picture is of "rc"s new ghost train at Selkirk.
