WASP

After only two years I have finally removed, cleaned and replaced the

Water and Sediment (Particle?) Filter.

It was lovely and clean really but cleaner when I put it back.  Hopefully the seals are fine and it wont leak and also that I have put enough clean diesel back in the cup so that there are little or no air bubbles to worry about when I next run the engine.  I believe the BETA is self priming and that it will only hiccup.  Not sure I am up to do anything clever if I have to bleed it.

Dreams

I find them fascinating.

Last night I dreamt I had gone to a singing festival with a friend of mine on the narrowboat.  There were lots of narrowboats and the site was very busy.  I spotted a gap that just fitted my boat and stepped off holding the long centre rope and promptly got distracted talking to someone before I heard a shout and realised my long line was very long indeed.  So while I was standing by the gap the boat had carried on around the corner and before we could haul it back had got involved in a bit of a fracas with at least two other boats.

Going out onto the water (as you do) so we could see around the corner my boat was nowhere to be seen and then it arose from the depths.  Oh dear.

Initially it didn't appear to have taken on too much water but then it became apparent that the front above the bedroom had been stove in by one of the boats as it had passed over the top (again I hadn't realised up to that point that my boat had a wooden top but hey ho).  It was no longer water tight and I would have to have it completely gutted and an opportunity to redesign the internal layout.  Hope the insurance pays out.

Unfortunately at this point I woke up.

Poor old thing

I called to the boat today to insert new licence doo hickeys and she is so besplattered she looks dreadful.  I have left her like that as there is no point whatsoever in removing it as the next car to drive past will just cover her again.  I appear to be the only boat moored next to potholes!  Ho hum.

Will definitely be giving up that mooring come springtime let me tell you.  Will not be wanting that to happen to my new paint job next winter.

We have obviously been having some sunshine in October as the smartgauge was again showing the E03 error which it only does when supposed input into the batteries exceeds 15v  We know as we have tested it that it isn't really 15v and it also only does this once the batteries are showing at 100%.
