Another Wordless Wednesday……
Posted by highlandmiscellany
…………again because I cannot put the words I would like to use on a public blog!
This was the scene that confronted me over the weekend when I was trying to fettle the layout for operation – a good number of broken chairs and detached solder joints. All this resulting in some fairly severe gauge narrowing!
It has been fairly warm here in blighty (I know that is a relative concept to some of the readers of this blog in the more far flung corners of the world – the Brits like to moan about our weather!). This has resulted in some thermal expansion and clearly I have not allowed enough joints to absorb this. It will be simple enough to fix, but altogether a pain.
Perhaps more irritatingly (because it has happened rather more), it has closed the gap on a number of crossings. This has resulted in a fair few short circuits and a campaign of dealing with these has taken a good chunk of my Sunday up!
