NOT PAYING ATTENTION!
Which is getting quite common for me nowadays. I wanted to put 20ltrs of fuel in the tank & so I did the usual, plastic pipe into the fuel tank, filtered tundish into the palstic pipe, & poured the diesel into the tundish. (I spilled some as usual) but at the end when I took the tundish out, the plastic pipe dropped into the tank! Despite my best efforts to retrieve it I failed! I now have to drill a series of holes in the fireglass skin & saw between the holes until I can remove that piece of skin, undo the observation plate, remove the plastic pipe, put the cover back on, make a cover for the hole I cut, & put all the junk back in the cabin (I wondered where all that junk had gone?
Even if we didn't have "social distancing" like MOST jobs on Belle its a one man touch! There are times I wish I would go down there & see only the roof!
