Well looks like the Summer has gone, cool and wet today. Seen some of the pictures of what people have had we seem to of got off lightly.

The lightning storm over London looked amazing but no thunder.... Weird

It's good when it's on.  Today (stack went live at 6.30am) it took me the normal 10-15 minutes to get to work.  Yesterday, when Stack wasn't running, it was a free-for-all, and took me half an hour.

I have been out setting up freight monitoring systems all over Europe, it doesn't look set to stop either I'm in the process of setting up a palletised goods system with Volkswagen which is going to be completely lossless, it's a massive contract and the proportions involved are immense

that sound very impressive.

If you have the sort of skills needed to set up systems  arranging a WIND meet should be an easy option for you (talked yourself into a job there)  lol

There's a twingo meet happening in derby in August, would be good to gate crash that considering the cars are based on the same platform

It's clean but I've been swatting flies with the front so it's covered, someone kindly gave me another dent in the door today too.

I was always looking for some sort of rubber strip protection for the doors, but never found anything that would look good. 

So I still tend to park furthest away in a supermarket carpark, but some git ends up parking beside me  Very Happy
