I've died thrice of the various forms of sars cov and been reborn. It's amazing. Anyway it's not covid any more it's Omicron. Mentally prepare people for an ongoing dramatic situation when Lambda and Zeta variants emerge. At some stage it is going to get scary when this horrible enemy starts mutating in a non alphabetical order. So far it's been alpha delta omicron. I deeply fear for example a switch from Omega back to Beta. That would be serious as it shows the virus has no respect for human communication strategies and language. Then it gets really serious. I think Beta has been and gone so maybe it will be something else?

I still have to run a 6kva diesel genset to run a little a little inverter welder. It’s enough for me. All though I would like to be able to weld from solar which I think is possible if I buy another inverter and double them up. I have enough amps in the summer it would be worthwhile. The Honda petrol genset I used to have was brilliant but exspensive to run. But you would think a mobile welder might have one in a van. James the Valence battery man had a very large inverter in his garage. Also a lot of EIG NMC lithium cells which can put out 400a. I think the inverter was an "Outback". This should run a small welder. I'll check it out next time I see him. James and his garage might have parted ways, the owner wanted to up the rent by a lot, he tried to get me to buy some stuff but I didnt need it at the time

I was in there about a month ago but yes the owner was breathing down his neck somewhat.
Was meant to go and see James today actually but had to postpone it.
The inverter was pretty serious. Massive heatsink on it. Either a 7kw or a 14kw unit. Not sure but it's interesting to have a look at the household grid tie ones as they have better market penetration and therefore cheaper. Like the solar panels.
I bought two X 415w solar panels recently for £130 each (collected myself).
Back in 1996 I paid £350 for a single 75w panel.

You were robbed on the solar panels 400 watt ones have been doing the rounds at 90 squids for a while

Interesting thread started by LadyG over on CWDF, "CRT Northwest are pathetic". It seems that Jo is still stuck without a rudder, but even reading right through it I'm not 100% sure what the hell has been going on or how things are right now. Over on CWDF at around 1330 hrs on Saturday 18 December it was -- "I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a little help.3 months down the line and the clown that was ‘LadyG’ is no nearer a solution to her issues!🙄 www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/topic/113233-anyone-passing-barrowford-locks/page/21/

I have a Britool 18 inch adjustable spanner I bought when I was 18 which is 29 years ago.
That is a big tool.
Purchased from Kingston Tools which was, predictably, in Kingston (upon Thames).
