Well today i went into work(Dont get paid) as we had an upgrade of our power supply. Weather has been crap, so no flying:(

I have seen it before, but as we waited for power to be restored (8 hours) the Biomas Boilers, started to produce steam. Pipes started to hammer, vibrate, bounce and relief valves did their job and blew off.

On and off for 5 hours.

Long day at work getting the system back on line and in control.

On the plus side, Mrs away to Glasgow to a Placebo concert, so weather permitting...........................:)

No flying here at all. Snow forecasted tonight looking at about 1 to 2.5 cm (4 to 8 inchs) of build up. NOt sure if I will be flying for sometime due to old man winter.

I don't think I could work for free, cant buy hobby stuff with no paycheck.
