Usually I keep and eye on the local river level since i like to go driving through it when it floods. The “check for flooding” website hadn’t updated the river levels since 5am, and I felt like we’d had enough rain for it to be at road level. So I took a ride to see and was sorely disappointed. I was told today by a friend, that the depth marker is nothing of the sort. It just tells you meters above sea level. Useless. This the rive level down at Maiden Newton, I use it for an idea of what’s going on at the bridge on St. Helen’s Lane. https://check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/station/3278
I found that the brake peddle would pulsate when I pressed it, after fitting the new discs, I wasn’t sure why this might be, so just ran it for a while to see what might happen as it all bedded in. Nothing changed, so I took it apart last night. Having gotten the disc off, cleaned up the mating faces and put it back, I realised that perhaps the disk is sitting on the protruding stud splines and not onto the face of the hub. But by that time it back together, so tonight it’ll be coming off again to see.
3 cubic meters of logs cut to between 8 and 10inches long (like the mix of units?) turned up in the back of a tipper. It took me a hour at the time when they turned up (12:00 noon), then another 3/4 hours before we went out (16:00) and another half an hour or so later on (20:00) when we came back to get them all stacked, which was 3 times longer than I hoped it would take to stack them all in.
