We put it away last year ready to go this year but it is amazing how she disintegrates herself whilst sitting in the shed. One chain elevator was almost useless and then I found the drum belt tensioner pulley had a rattly bearing. Not nice working outside in drizzle.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-77022034923091373072017-07-19T11:13:30.278+01:002017-07-19T11:13:30.278+01:00I understand more about the engineering side of yo...I understand more about the engineering side of your discourse than I would have done about tachinids. Although they can be beautiful they can also be a nuisance. Mind you as they don't, as a rule so far as I am aware, prey on humans I prefer them to horse flies one of which has caused me considerable discomfort after a spell in the garden this morning.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-37685339798696655492017-07-16T09:52:36.170+01:002017-07-16T09:52:36.170+01:00Thanks Margaret.Thanks Margaret.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-40153094181583418082017-07-16T09:52:12.703+01:002017-07-16T09:52:12.703+01:00Bob, glad your re-fit worked well.

I, on the other hand, know the difference in a claw and ball peen hammer, a regular and Phillips screwdriver, and that's about it. Allen wrench, crosscut saw, hacksaw -- I can identify those. Using them all is another matter.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-61796638808315923132017-07-14T14:30:47.519+01:002017-07-14T14:30:47.519+01:00No flies on you when it comes to a challenge Adria...No flies on you when it comes to a challenge Adrian!...sound like the job was a good'un in the end?...[;o)<br />The Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393815486440597141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-57305180158225480432017-07-14T09:21:38.529+01:002017-07-14T09:21:38.529+01:00maar oh wat zijn ze wel geweldig mooi.maar oh wat zijn ze wel geweldig mooi.Bas.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13804347915356897054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-68879124759081284062017-07-14T09:09:13.959+01:002017-07-14T09:09:13.959+01:00Not keen on the fly either Adrian, but the images ...Not keen on the fly either Adrian, but the images are great!<br /><br />Keep dreaming! - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-59017652770134477612017-07-13T22:21:14.372+01:002017-07-13T22:21:14.372+01:00I didn't appreciate how beautiful and how comp...I didn't appreciate how beautiful and how complicated flies are until I began to photograph them. When I saw the hair on their bodies and the stained glass segmentation of their wings I was bowled over. Really enjoy looking at the fly here.
