Hows your luck

[OzKev]

Today the luck is not with me...

It started of with setting up for a product run. Filled the boiler and fired up the element. Bang and a blue flame. I put 2 elements on the boiler to shorten the inital heat up time, but it's the second element to blow so I can't just swap to the other element and keep running. In my haste I then ordered the wrong bits from Mac (thanks Mac for fixing that up)

So I thought I may go crush some corn ready for a mash tomorrow. A few kg into it, the spider couple decides to start slipping. When I have a look at tightening the grub screw up it's seized tight (think cast coupler and living close to the beach). So i decide to drill it out and put a pin thorough the shaft. The shaft is hardened steel so nothing here can drill it.

Then I think why not go watch a movie, but I'll watch it on the big screen. Samsung home cinema usb port is crappy and wont pick up the external hard drive. Try the TV, stupid Samsung tv refuses to play the file. Try the Sony bluray player, nope it only detects the first partition on the device which is the windows recovery partition (ex laptop drive), so I can't even copy the movie there... Then I try and get the tv to hook up to the wireless network. Our laptop, 4 mobiles and even a Soniq tv talks to it happily, but not the Samsung tv, or the samsung home cinema. At least my pc has a decent screen.

Tomorrow is another day :clap:

Having just been through bush fire,toxic smoke from the power station fire behind me and the sub station explosions the other day,I'd say my luck has been bloody good recently

Sold my spare car battery to get someone out of trouble then drove to the servo to fill up. Yep never any doubt , had to get a jump start. Seems my battery worked fine until five min after I sold the spare, ( no good deed ect. ect. :roll:

Wow, that sucks :handgestures-thumbdown:

[kelbygreen]

bummer, thats another reason I siphon or pull out the sample. Use a glass jar to dip in but demijohn you would need a silicon hose to siphon it out. least if I drop the glass jar it can be salvaged.

Wonder if they still use lead balls sure they would of come up with something better? since the glass is so damn thin :angry-banghead:

Honestly if it had been in there short term I would have filtered it out and drank it. Then again I would eat a lead sinker to win a bet. Each to do their own risk assessment ;-)

Crow if it helps at all my ride on mower caught fire today, I did get it out using my boats fire extinguisher in the end, didn't know I could still move that quick till it all went to shit.

Scored a free 6 burner BBQ the other day, if thst wasn't good enough, I called a mate to give me a hand to pick it up and when I picked him he gave me 2 x 19L european style beer kegs. Looks like I need to get some co2 gear and I will be able to keg my beer instead of bottling. :happy-partydance:
