Was working in Lochgilphead today & heading for West Coast Motors Mull depot tomorrow so booked Royal Hotel in the square, Oban at a very reasonable Β£50, room only as I would be gone too early for breakfast.
Arrived tonight to find it was only Β£35, such a good deal that I booked tomorrow night as well to save me driving down the road to Dunoon & they agreed to give me the same rate tomorrow too πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜.
Had lovely bath, watched some telly then went out for something for dinner from the chippy.
Helen had already mentioned on the phone she was having scampi, so I said to her, oh aye, I'll have some scampi too seeing as I am in the seafood centre of the west coast πŸ˜€. I wasn't hungry so just ordered single scampi, no chips.....could I have tartar sauce with it? Of course, no problem sir........Β£8.45 + Β£1.00 for tarter sauce......for this......shocking 😱😱 Just as well the Royal Hotel did a great job.....that's the only reason I will be staying in Oban again πŸ‘πŸ‘

First meeting with Martin from Fyne Sea Tours today. Based in Strachur Bay they offer short trips to see the local aquatic wildlife & shore views from a boating perspective, which if you have never done it is quite surprising & amazing.

Beautifully clean & spacious boat with plenty of indoor space when weather not so good. Well worth a try for a couple of hours of your time πŸ‘

Had a battery charging problem at start of week which sounded very much like a faulty alternator. Couldn't attend immediately so agreed to order alternator as back up & attend when it arrived today.

Quite quickly diagnosed there was an ignition supply missing from the alternator plug which after getting a historic report from Martin that wiring loom had previous internal repairs due to corossion we decided to remove & inspect it.

Sure enough there were several cracked, corroded & broken wires inside the loom.
Stripped every damaged cable & replaced, recovered loom & refitted.

Checked charging etc, all good. He's back to work tomorrow thankfully. With a spare alternator in the hold πŸ˜‰

Another grand day at Leggat Plant, Barrhead for Mellex. I was born 3 miles from here & my dad was a director of Leggat when it had a building company back in 70's, 80's so loads of memories around this place.
Great workshop facility with pit makes it a pleasure to work on these trailers & trucks.
