It was at Stamford Hall in Leicestershire Rossgo , a re-enactment by the Sealed Knot of what I suppose was an action in the Battle of Naseby , was a proper good afternoon and cannons are louder than you think .

We get bottled water to drink, but the RO water is drinking quality, and I occasionally do drink it. As the Utilities Operator I control the quality so I'm happy with my own work :D The De-Ion is seperate to Pot water and is only used for turbine blade wash and the Cooling Medium circuit.

Drinking De-Ion is not a good idea at all!!

Yup, definitely on the Pot Water and De-Ion water systems. Process (Gas and liquifaction) is all stainless (low temp) and firewater ringmains/ cooling medium/seawater systems are all GRP (fibre glass reinforced plastic). We use copper anodes in our Biofouling Unit thou' to make Copper Hypochloride to dose the seawater pump cassions to prevent marine growth in the intakes.

They seem to work out a bit cheaper cause of the decent exchange rate at the moment. There leathers seem to be different brands to the uk well the shops I go in anyway. They have lots of held gear.

I'm out tonight with Beermonster and a few friends for a gig.

Then I've got a couple of days off work. Tomorrow the Kwacky Family are going to London to see the Star Wars exhibition at some well known waxworks place :)

Not sure about Friday. The weather looks crap. Rain is forecast for the day.

That wind tunnel is an excellent idea for trying out helmets and seeing how quiet they really are.
