When the bio hits the fan
« on: June 20, 2015, 03:05:53 PM »
My filter pump is running cowling-less at the moment (keep meaning to print a new one), and, well... the discharge pipe popped out of the drum I was filling and you'll never guess where it ended up pointing,

I was covered head to toe, as was everything else in the shed.

I've spent a whole afternoon cleaning up...

Perhaps we should have an annual award for the daftest mistake.

Our Boat Club had an award for Twat of the Year, the Bent Propeller Award.

I won it in my first year of membership all because of a single radio transmission, sad innit.

That did make me chuckle.
I tipped a five gallon drum of water, or some of it, onto the fan of a D7 once, when I was a kid. I've always been really wary of filling radiators of running engines with water since then. Felt like I was being shot.
