a fairground life

We set off to BoA just after 11am with the Hobby trailer. When we arrived r was well into the miami. I set the trailer and ran the main out to the hire set for the domestic power ( hire set in middle of fair for all caravans power). Next up , I set the skydiver on the plot. Then I took this unit to the opposite end of the fair because I need its 100 kva set to power the Dz here. At that r arrived and we began to set the DZ. We swung the tower around into position (over the frogs) and I thought, "time to try the tower light". Hey presto the lights were working from the top down to the first join (50%). So we plugged the next section in and they worked too(80%)! I was getting worried now thinking I would not find a fault and then it would all go pear shaped when the tower went up. Anyway we plugged in the last (very bottom) section and the trip went. We quickly traced the fault to a single light strip about 2m long. This means that we could have repaired the problem at ground level and there was no need for the tower lights to be off all last week. Suppose it serves me right for being lazy, jumping to assumptions and not investigating the issue further. On the plus side it meant we could carry on and raise the tower, finish the ride off and move onto the next job. That was levelling the skydiver chassis. We called it a day after that, it was too hot and r had to get back to Glasgow for a "hot date".

The picture is of GJ's immaculate Skid, he has done a load of work on it over the last 5-6 years- put on artic chassis, fold up floors/plates, paybox, paint up and numerous other jobs not easily spotted.
