Seed dressing again today, well nearly.  I was supposed to be seed dressing but everything didn't go to plan, either mine or the customers.  I got there okay, eventually, I had spilt something on my map book and stuck the pages together and the sat nav was flat and my mind a blank, but I did get there.  I started work but the customer had to break off to load a wagon with grain after we had got one and a half tonnes cleaned.  When we got started again the machine gave up after less than a half tonne, great!  One of the bearings had collapsed on the cleaner feed auger.  Back at base the mill engineer was busy so I spent the rest of the day removing and replacing the bearing with some help.  I didn't believe anyone could place bolts in such a difficult position to remove or replace unless they were completely stupid but they did.  Back to it tomorrow. see you then.
