The Midas Project

[BluFin]

Thany guys, They are back home now... madhouse on a ward too much noise. I'm turning into quite the little domestic........Still think Baby-Fin looks like Yoda though.
TD & I will play musical helm in the week & still the trailer to do. so quite contained within the scale. Think Bank holiday will be a nutty day so will avoid that one but try for that week, I'm on me own at work then, that might need to be a sickie....... .

Edit: (June-"ish")

Well I never said what year

[BluFin]

I managed to Fek the helm unit good..... no bits in the UK
Hypro having them fedex over so at best thats gonna make it the end of next week before I see it back for fitting.
Trailer Axles all moved 3/4 of the way modding the front bunks rain stopped play, that & I've run put of staples.

[BluFin]

Trailer all finished & boat back on the thing, Filled the tank hoping I can go & play this weekend, that bloody hurt, found a fuel leak in the last 40 lts but I suspect that was just a union that I missed done now & will top it up to check in the light tomorrow, should have a helm one way or another by the weeks close. Just hope it dont chuck it down as that will spoil the day a bit & all subject to "The Power of Woman".
Perfect world drop of boat Fri PM, Launch early Sat- Drill round for 8 hours, inc a DDT & re-torque in that somewhere.
Really perfect world she would let me go out Sunday too...........that would be nice to have a run round to poole & back but I could be pushing me options on that

[BluFin]

Nuts faulty union, need to drain and pull the tank for access to replace the complete assy.
Still keeping them crossed for the weekend. Friday will be a busy day

[BluFin]

Tank drained & removed, fitting swapped over, lucky they had a -8 stainless at work today Aeroquip, tank back in quick check seems good need a full head on it though & I just couldnt face pummping all back in 3/4 full and holding.
So that brings me to Earls, what a load of old shite that leaks Aeroquip dont, they took 6 months to complete the order which cost nearly £800 (trade) for what was less than 20 items.
OVERPRICED OVERATED Avoid like the plague and use Parker or Aeroquip or even Halfords own brand.

Back on track though she is a little pissed I have been outside all of this evening..................What, Eh ! coming honey...................

That would need a 2 day pass, I can only try.
Will need to walk before running.
Really need to complete the break in on Saturday or at least a big chunk to make it a realistic target. Helm to do still. I'm sure there will be some issues that crop up being so fresh out of the box.
I'll know saturday night as one is trying to balance Babby,Mrs, Kids & work


Mental note to self .... Fit the Bungs !!!!!

[BluFin]

Should have seen the look on her face when I said "I'll stop on the way & pick up the helm unit". Oh boy if looks could kill, but then she twigged.

Hi John

Just to say congratulations on new arrival sorry we are a bit late only just found out Claire and Eric x

[BluFin]

Thanks Claire been meaning to catch up with Eric again but you know what it's like with a new arrival, just missed one of the boys at Hypo yesterday.

Been hitting it hard last evening 11:45 finish & been out there since first light this morning, stopping for lunch at 06:45 !!!!! got about 4 hrs more to do & run around for some bits as well. Want to get the thing out from its little corner without dismantling the coccoon as that takes about 3 hours to dismantle & thats not a job for today.

[BluFin]

Oh something has moved
