Saw some of the rugby yesterday but not all and didn't really enjoy it. Hoping that England can pull something out of the bag today but I have my doubts. Late here today due to partying last night. The do was held at our local rugby club and a great time was had by all, particularly the birthday girl. However I understand that she's feeling a bit fragile this morning. Can't believe it's 21 years ago that she came in to the world. From this: To this! Have a good one Proud Grandad of Sutton. Every reason to be a proud grandad there. Hope the day goes well.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2020 Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Congratulations to Sir TH and GDB. The toy fair was packed this morning but I made a few purchases of the diecast variety. An interesting one was a 1930ish Packard made by Hot Wheels. It looks to be approx 1/76 and finished in black it looks very gangsterish. Someone had already dismantled it. Now for a bit of eyelid examination, be back later. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations all round and fingers crossed for the next few weeks. In other news I might not follow the rugby but boy are they singing up the road! A quick check of the half-time score reveals at least part of the reason for the volume. Former Neighbour (Upstairs) is Welsh and has plans to visit for the England - Wales encounter in a few weeks' time. That could be anyone's game. And I don't necessarily mean the result of the match 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pH Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 This one is particularly for Newbryford, but others might enjoy it. National Hockey League teams have 2 goalies dressed at every game, but the home team also has to have an 'emergency backup' goalie available in the building. This goalie can be used by either team in the (unlikely) event that both of the team's goalies are injured during a game. Well, in last night's Maple Leafs - Hurricanes game in Toronto, both Hurricanes goalies were injured and the emergency goalie, who is 42 years old and whose regular job is driving the Zamboni (ice cleaning machine) for the Toronto Marlies - the junior club of the Maple Leafs! - was called into action for the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes won! https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/it-was-wild-zamboni-driver-david-ayres-on-his-incredible-night-as-emergency-nhl-goalie-1.4823930 18 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 10 hours ago, Kingzance said: Am I wrong to connect the flood plain of Lake Missoula with the Hanford nuclear facilities Andy? If not wrong then any later flooding could disturb the storage of nuclear waste around the Hanford site. The entire Columbia basin was inundated by ice age Missoula floods. The Columbia River Gorge through the Cascades was carved by repeated floods. The Hanford Reach is upriver from the spot marked Wallula Gap in this map. The location of my home in the Willamette Valley would have been inundated as well. Seattle and the Puget Sound were buried under a Glacier. For Missoula-level flooding to reoccur we will need ice ages to return. There are probably more immediate geologic dangers to the Hanford site than glaciation-related flooding. Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes changing the flow of the river might have a much higher potential, but Hanford might be just far enough away for even this to be threatening. Hanford is also about 100 miles from Mt. Adams (a potentially active stratovolcano). Even volcanic eruptions probably don't present much threat. If anything, burying the area in lava might be a good thing, but Cascadia stratovolcanic eruptions are more often explosive. A lahar flow from Mt Adams would follow the Klickitat River south to the Columbia. It would not threaten the Hanford Reach. The Missoula floods occurred toward the end of the last ice age 15,000 - 13,000 years ago. The Newberry Caldera in Oregon had substantial lava flows about 7,500 years ago but these were only about 10 miles or so long. The geology of the Pacific Northwest is very alive but things still happen according to geologic time. 12 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 This geological feature was created by outflows from Lake Missoula: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_Falls It is spectacular - one of those places where it's hard to get the perspective right, it's so massive. 5 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tigerburnie Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 Evening all, been over to Perth to visit daughter and family, tennis played and the 5 year old grandson was impressed that grandad could actually hit the ball, cheeky wee monkey. Then lunch and the secret was announced that said 5 year old had great difficulty in keeping secret, I'm being taken to Yorkshire for my birthday and to the West side of Scotland near Skye, something to look forward too as both kids and their families will be coming, not often we all get together. I was also presented with an early present...………………………….a rat trap(catch alive cage type)………..aren't I a lucky lad(looked for bottles of falling down water, but none was found in the box)…………………... 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted February 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2020 Evening all, Welcome to the post-roast comfort-induced haze which is Sunday night. Some woolybeast was enjoyed with some red laughing water and I am now almost ready to call it a night. Just the uniform to press before doing so. There was a brief interruption to the normal peace and quiet Upon the Hill as some England fans came back from the match. Understandably the worse for wear and singing their hearts out. They went on their way and may suffer the same fate in the morning as GDB's grand-daughter did today! And no doubt they will claim it was all in a good cause. The seaweed wranglers are predicting more precipititat ..... preshipper tay son ...... presittipay ..... ah stuff it - it's gonna rain again!!! Stay well and dry. 12 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted February 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 The day endeth having achieved some ballasting on about three feet of track, 32mm stylee, and little else by me. Mrs NHN came back from field archery with the 'Shot of the Day' trophy, and several established archers in the club in a little huff having being beaten by the newcomer female of the species. Her mentor has said to me she's a crack shot despite her lack of experience, and would love Debs to enter serious competition (as in 'across') with her, but it's not Debs thing, she isn't competitive in that way. I think Lesley would like some female company in the competition circuit but her level is 'a bit' beyond our means for travelling. She's recently back from the States! Bloomin thing scares the hell out of me, there's something about a tensioned bow that makes me wary, compressed springs are like that too, you can feel the latent power in them. The power in it is scary, all from a bit of string.....well, and some sticks.....no wonder that bloke got one in his eye. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted February 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2020 Good evening everyone Well I made a start on testing the main relay circuit boards this morning, the first 5 all had the same fault. I thought that this can’t be coincidence, so I had a good look at one of them. After about 15 minutes of testing I found the answer, I’d inadvertently left 2 separate circuits joined together. So I cut the track at a convenient point, re-applied power and hey-presto, everything worked as it should do. I also amended the circuit diagram to show today’s alterations. The rest of the boards threw up a couple off silly faults, such as joints not soldered or a bit of solder straying across the tracks! However, there are 2 boards that I just couldn’t get fully working, 3 out of the 4 relays worked ok, but there was 1 on each board that just wouldn’t to operate at all. All the individual components of the circuit tested ok, but I still couldn’t get the relay to operate, so these will be looked at more closely tomorrow. Goodnight all 16 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of muttering in the shooting fraternity about the apparent disparity in regulations between air rifle shooting and archery. To obtain a rifle capable of generating the same power as a decent compound bow requires a fire arms certificate, which requires police checks, and the installation of a secure cabinet, plus some other requirements. Yet a bow or crossbow, regardless of it's power generation is not required to be licensed nor it's sale recorded in a special register. You can even buy them via mail order! 6 5 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
