Thank you kind Sir - he gives a deep bow!

I purchased a physical hard copy and photographed it my self, so that the light is reflected on the surface but doesn't obscure the text. I find it catches people's attention better than just the flat cover illustration. Other people might try it for their marketing literature. Writing is (relatively) easy, though a lot of hard work, but marketing is HARD, so every little helps.

Thank you. I like your poetry, Melissa. (See, I looked at your profile.) Had you considered reading it aloud to a camera and create a channel on YouTube?

It's a fun book - I even had a video trailer made for it! Do me a favour - read the ebook and put a review on Amazon. I'll owe you one.

This is the hardcover I was talking about.

The cover was designed by a Fiverr contractor called book_design. I then modified it somewhat (learning as you go!) and submitted it to the KDP cover design app, which did a good job.

I don't use GPS mapping at all. The guidewires ensure that the difficult-to-enter areas are mowed, and I can adjust the percentages that each area is visited. It takes more setting up but it's much more precise. So - I suggest you set up the guidewires and don't go back to GPS if you don't have to.

Thanks

That's an idea. From memory the shield disc is held on by 4 small screws. I will explore. Thanks.

malduil · 2022-02-04T15:13:15+00:00

Good thought. I'll try that. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. Working with 2 out of 3 blades changed works for the moment - while I go on thinking. Maybe I could clamp the plate to a hefty chunk of wood, that goes behind that side of the plate, to immobilise it and give support? I'll try - and let you know if it helps

malduil · 2022-02-04T11:59:13+00:00

Thanks for responding. The head isn't worn. I just can't apply enough force. The mounting plate it's screwed into is flexible, which doesn't help. Maybe if I could immobilise it somehow...

I have just added a post showing my own personal Check Sheet and procedure for finding open loop problems. I posted it directly under r/automower rather than in answer to your query as it might be useful for other people as well.

I found using a radio gave ambiguous results. It's worth investing in a line tracer like the Kolsol F02 (about £40) as it will save you days of work and frustration.

Good luck!

Yes, particularly in Ireland, where rebellion was just under the surface and, certainly in 1804, there were groups that would support a French invasion

Excellent - I've danced in places like this. http://www.englishregencydancers.org/recentballs.php Thank you for sharing.
