Today I acquired...........

[Kram]

First item, 10 rolls of free, good quality turf, although a couple days old.

Second being a DHL from Amazon Japan. Ordered Sunday. Originally when ordering said delivery today then changed to monday, so was a bit suprised when the DHL van pulled up outside.

Cable belt climb adaptor for the XGT battery system. Should make my long reach hedge cutter, much lighter to use.

Today I've got my first work away from the shop.
We ground and assembled a big IVECO excavator engine.
Well happened that it leaks so tomorrow morning at 5AM I have to go to the machine shop take the van and go in site to take off the cylinder head and check what's wrong with it

A shiny stainless steel reel and a 6' delayed surface marker bouy to keep me safe when diving:


In normal use the bouy, which is fully sealed apart from the inflation point at the bottom, is clipped onto and rolled up and bungee'd to the reel and is inflated by the co2 bulb at the end of a dive, which sends it to the surface, whereupon it sticks out of the water like a scene from a Linda Lovelace film , allowing the dive boat skipper to keep an eye on your whereabouts in the ocean.

I was in the market for another one as my primary marker, inflated by a 232 bar 0.3 litre cylinder, is showing its age, so I went for this from Kent Tooling who are somewhere in Canterbury. It's top notch gear, the reel is almost entirely stainless steel construction, it holds 65 metres of line, which is plenty deep enough for me, and is made in the UK by very nice folk, so why not:

The guy changing our toilet had one of these spanners, i thought that looks handy, don't know what I'd use it for but it looks useful so £4 odd later from Amazon....

Two large bags of ex company uniforms, in their new logo.
It is being sent back to them, as soon as the sorting office is open.

Mrs nice posty explained she could not take them back, right or wrong, but they will be returned.

Shames as all items have their logo on, the trousers are a good design.

I'm wearing an ex-company tee shirt at the moment they come in handy for home diy, work trousers and sweat shirts also get put to use at home or the stables

Have you opened the parcel?
If not you could of refused it from the postie, or you can put a line through your address, write refused on it, circle the return address and post in a parcel box. If it's been opened then you would have to pay postage costs or wait for them to ask for it's return and ask them to supply a return postage label.

The balls are interesting. Fly press style size but no holes or fixings. Makes me wonder if they could be actual cannon balls. Any ball experts on here?

 

[Porkypine]

You've got the makings of a nice family set of traditional 'ball and chain' restraints there

 

[Anguz]

Well spotted, but not by me!

However, I did grab about 150 kg of heavy c channel.
