And today was WET!

Hi All,

Will today I was rained on from 8:30am to 4pm with the only time I wasn't in the the rain was when I was trying to get the wacker working again! The wacker is a 2 stoke powered jack hammer, we use it at work with a spade fitting to push stone under the railway sleepers (sleepers are the large bits of wood on which the rails are fitted) anyway it was running fine and then just stopped...

We spent about 1 hour on it and got it going again, not sure how but it did go! Had lunch then went to use the wacker again, wouldn't start! after myself and another stuff member had it in bit and back together a 2nd time it still wouldn't start, we had run out of ideas and then we decieded to change the sparkplug, new plug and the wacker started first go!

We still don't know why... the old plug was working good and had spark, so did the new, but something must have been wrong with that old plug? I guess it took us about 2 to 3 hours to do that, but it did keep me out of the rain for that long! and I still got must I the work done that I was meant to do today. I hope it dosn't rain tomorrow....

Today weight is 127.65kg (280.83) a small loss, but a loss all the same!
