The only residents who don't cause to much grief and aggravation reside in the cemetery. Hmm unless you are speaking from personal experience there Big H I would ask you to revise that last statement. Having had the misfortune to be the responsible officer -target/idiot take your pick (and there are plenty more to choose from) for cemeteries I can confirm that both the inhabitants and there 'hangers on' are perfectly capable of causing a considerable amount of trouble and that's the polite phrase. 2 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upset momma bear and you’re dead. Full Stop. What does crimson lake have to do with the award of a fourth Distinguished Service Medal? We once saw a black bear with two cubs about fifty yards away in Sequioa national park. Moving very slowly and cautiously we made our way back to the car, which fortunately was only about ten yards away in the opposite direction, making sure not to appear at all interested in the cubs, which were playing tag up and down trees. Momma bear, though, kept an eye on us and I suspect that it wouldn't have taken much for her to get anti. Once inside the car we watched for about five minutes until momma bear wandered off with a call for the cubs to follow. They passed about ten feet in front of the car and I swear that one of the cubs looked at us with a smug expression as if to say, "That showed you huh?" Later we met some rangers who were very interested in what we had seen so we showed them a photograph we had taken when the bears passed by the car. They recognised the bear and said that they had wondered whether she was having cubs and now they knew. They also said that we had acted wisely and that although momma bear had been keeping a beady eye on us, providing we didn't get between her and the cubs or make any move towards the cubs we were probably OK. I noted the word 'probably'....... Dave 14 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up........the practical way to deal with 'travellers' ....................... I once enjoyed an after-dinner speech by a copper who played RU at senior club level. There had been pics of him in the rugby press. On one occasion he and colleagues were turning over a house occupied by a nasty man in custody. Suddenly he heard shrieks of laughter from upstairs. On investigating, they had opened the bedroom door to find, stuck to the ceiling, a full-length portrait of him! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also discovered that you can move a large caravan, with it's jacks down, along a cobbled street by towing it with a mk 2 transit van using a bit of chain round the back step. This experiment was done at 03.30. The caravan dwellers did move on though. Jamie Edited January 17, 2022 by jamie92208 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal Digger Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 00 Gauge, 3rd Rail Linear Induction anyone? Please see Expand Nice, but I don't think it's a linear induction motor. Induction motors induce an alternating current in a conductive rotor or linear plate. That looks more like a magnetic impulse thingy Is it powered by AC or DC? According to the instructions '12v DC or 20v AC....if using a transformer it should have a output of not less than 2A owing to the starting loads'. Re Linear or Impulse: Yes it's called Impulse Drive on the box and in the instructions. To me the same thing, please explain the difference. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
