14/08/15

Friday was every bit as bad as I was expecting and possibly worse.  My seed dresser wouldn't start so I had to take the other out.  The only good thing about the whole day was that the nice lady in the office cancelled my first two appointments.  It took me most of the day to complete four tonnes of oats.  Firstly the other dresser has a smaller throughput, secondly I have never operated it solo before and thirdly it was raining; very hard.  When I did get the machine going something like the chemical pump stopped pumping chemical.  The pump was turning at the correct speed and everything looked okay but it wasn't pumping chemical.  I have no idea why it decided to stop pumping chemical, it just did.  When I managed to persuade it to work correctly, and I have no idea how I did this, I had one and a half tonnes to run through again.  There were two good things about the day, firstly I was inside a large shed and secondly it was Friday, thank goodness.  See you Monday.
