Today I have mostly got very very wet. The rain has followed me around wherever I am on the motorway. By the time I got my wet gear on it was too late!!

Where are you?wheelnut wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2024 4:21 pm Been in my first proper earthquake. I’ve experienced tremors before, but nothing like this. Sat on the hotel terrace having breakfast and a loud noise which we thought at first was a plane. The whole terrace started moving from side to side.
It took us a few seconds to work out what was happening, then the staff started screaming and running for the hotel lobby (prob wise as the hotel is perched on the side of a hill).
The shaking probably lasted about 30 seconds. Finished breakfast. Once the staff had settled they all seemed fairly nonplussed.
A 4,7 apparently with the epicentre about 3km away from us.

Never laid spanners on one before!
Mental note, don't engage gear when the prop is in a bucket of water.
Just off to the shops for a new bucket.

Or dustbins!
Tbh, if the kill switch lanyard had been routed better, it wouldn't have popped into gear either!

Some of the very small ones, 2hp, are direct drive. You swivel the whole thing through 180 degree to go the other way.
