 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Yes i did wonder if he was a member. That many F&P's though he would have to be. So hello to the owner of these mills. And yes your powers of deduction is correct it is around ashford but not sure on what the road was. The photo was taken a year or two ago now. Pete. Sometimes it just works |

Its funny how paths cross. I was at the recycling center a couple of weeks ago, ripping the motors out of three F&P Smartdrive washing machines, when this fella strolled up and asked me what I was up to. I told him I wanted the motors for a project, and he then said they make good alternators. He told me about a web site he visits where they use F&P motors on windmills to charge batteries. "The Back Shed" he called it. 
Yeah I told him that was me. He was as surprised as I was I think. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Small world you might say. Speaking of that heres an example. **********Two men were out playing golf on a nice Saturday afternoon. They were getting frustrated, though, because the two women who were playing right in front of them were quite slow, and were holding up the men's game. "Don't they know their supposed to let us play through?!" asked the first man. The other man shook his head. "I'm going to go ask them if we can play through," said the first man, emphatically, "Enough is enough!" He started walking over toward the women, but as he got close, he suddenly turned around and came back, white as a ghost. "Oh God," he said to his friend, "This is awful. You're going to have to ask those women if we can play through. You see, one of them is my wife, and the other is my mistress!" The other man shrugged, and said "No sweat." He walked over toward the women, and just as he was getting close, turned around and came running back to his pal. His eyes wide open, he said - "Small world isn't it!" ************************************************************ *** Sometimes it just works |
