NarrowBoat Bones: Waterpump Fixed
http://mortimerbones.blogspot.com/2015/01/waterpump-fixed.html
A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Thursday, January 01, 2015. I have a friend who is a whizz with a grinder so I popped over with my 'issues'. The pulley was ground down with the grinder along with the bit between the nuts and the pump casting. It was all done in a moment and then, within a blinking of an eye, the water pump was installed and the engine was running. Posted by MortimerBones at 11:11 AM. Subscribe to Post Comments [ Atom.

NarrowBoat Bones: The water pump - update
http://mortimerbones.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-water-pump.html
A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Tuesday, December 23, 2014. The water pump - update. I took the water pump off and had a good look at it. After a bit of a fiasco (access, nuts, metric and imperial issues between the pumps) I then noticed that the pulley was worn. A closer look still and the pulley rubs on the nuts of the pump (the nuts are worn). The new water pump is about 3mm thicker which would create a few problems. Kath and Neil (nb Herbie).

NarrowBoat Bones: Oops - water pump again!
http://mortimerbones.blogspot.com/2014/12/oops-water-pump-again.html
A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Oops - water pump again! His patronising tone and attempt at humiliation went over my head at the time, but he was quite convinced that the pump I wanted was in the box in his hand even though an amateur at the well known game 'snap' would know the difference. Fortunately someone else working there seemed unfazed at a women holding an engine part in her hand and sorted it out. Dog Care/Walk...

NarrowBoat Bones: Not doing the beans.
http://mortimerbones.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-doing-beans.html
A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Saturday, June 27, 2015. Not doing the beans. Once again the annual trek to do the broad beans has involved staring at the mass and rejoicing. They are not ripe. We even came a week later to show willing, but still they are not ripe. Unfortunately I got my weekends confused, so not only are the beans not ripe, but I am missing one of my favourite boating events of the year - Braunston! View my complete profile. Dog W...

NarrowBoat Bones: What a long time ago!
http://mortimerbones.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-long-time-ago.html
A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Sunday, June 07, 2015. What a long time ago! I was busy trying to find a picture of my boat at Shepperton Weir for an article I am writing and have failed miserably. Instead I have found pictures of me and a bunch of Canalworld Forum people in a pub. I was rather pleased with this balancing act. Posted by MortimerBones at 8:36 AM. I remember that day. I have some more pictures at the Manor. View my complete profile.

NarrowBoat Bones: When I retire I will steal hats

A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Monday, February 09, 2015. When I retire I will steal hats. It turns out the owl is doing its own stuff and doesn't need my stories. Read about it here. Edit - the link is about an aggressive owl that is steeling the hats from passers by. Here it is copied and pasted from this link. Some believe the owl is collecting the hats to make a nest. At least four people have been attacked by an owl over the past. I wish I kn...

NarrowBoat Bones: Castle Mill Stream, Oxford
http://mortimerbones.blogspot.com/2015/06/castle-mill-stream-oxford.html
A narrowboats journey through repair, cruising, and other joys of the english waterways. Monday, June 08, 2015. Castle Mill Stream, Oxford. I have been hearing flitterings here and there about the boats mooring along the castle mill stream. The Oxford Times wrote about it about a year ago here. It has caused quite a stir and seems to have got quite a few people ranting for various reasons. Whatever the politics are. this morning I was there and I love it!
