Got a very late start, but the day ended well.
First had to pop up to Site R, but FIRST had to secure another bucket - equipment managment is becoming a bit of a challenge. There was some difficulty securing a food grade bucket and no success whatsoever in securing a food grade lid.
Improvise
Adapt
Overcome.
Then to R to replace the medium from last time around on O - meep and shallow there are now beautifully capped - get some extraction supplies and head to Site X.
Pulled 6 deep frames there from where they were parked in K and managed to get them off the roof with too much diffficulty. The lack of a capping basin was keenly felt, however, and the extractor was found to be missing its base bushing (!!!) and had no lids, the latter a known and anticipated defect.
Improvise
Adapt
Overcome.
It went well in the end, if slowly, enlivened by unexpected company, some fresh chamomile tea and an impropmtu baklava. Of the 6 frames extracted, one was scrapped and the other five were placed, the next day on S in an additional (5th) box.
