Morning.
Grey.
Snowless.
Notso windy.
Dry.
Cold. 16.5 deg in here.
Sunday.
999 mBar, 29.5 inHg, 55% RH.
Sleep was reasonably satisfactory though the dreams were weird.
<hiatus>
It's snowing.
<hiatus>
It doesn't sound much like snow.
Walk walked.
It's cold out there and windy with it.
Brrrrrr.
<hiatus>
Lunch: roast beef, red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
It was ok in its way, though the beef was a bit touch and feck nose exactly wot I did wrong with the gravy.
The snow has turned to rain, which is fine by me.
Meanwhile we're down to 993 mBar, 29.32 inHg.
How the feck does one measure a column of Hg to 3 decimal places? Just askin' like.
Like this, apparently:

Tapping the face of the aneroid barometer really is a thing.
House roughly vacced for the sake of doing something.
Freecell score: 100% of 4.
Tea: Heinz carrot & corriander soup with Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt bread, bramble jelly sandwich on same, yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
<hiatus>
The ponytail has gone, couldn't stand it any longer.
Entertainment: 3 eps of Abandoned Engineering.
The Curse of Oak Island with the assorted nutjobs:
They're examining the hand hewn timbers that came up in the latest grab, with Roman numerals.
Plus the pick they found last week.
Gary just found an iron bar in the latest grab, ? crowbar ?
Next day: off to see the blacksmith at the New Ross museum with the pry bar.
He reckons it's something knocked into the wall to hold sommat up.
The next thing, the "pck" is in fact a rock hammer, designed for working in confined spaces.
It could have been made all the way back in the middle ages.
Might be a tool originally used to dig the money pit.
Bit cheaper than the milllion $ stuff they're using to dig it all up again.
Latest grab: they find a little piece of rope on the wash table, and ? coconut fibre ?
Now a bit of ?concrete?.
Grab At 160 feet: chunk of timber with a nail in it.
The excitement is palpable.
And up comes a shield (a chunk of metal) from the Chapel shaft.
The pressure in the machine just increased 100% and broke something.
The can won't go down easily any more.
The grab is bringing up nothing much.
Since that's not doing much they're off to Lot 25, Samuel Ball's lot where there's some proper archaeology going on.
They're doing 3' x 3' test pits.
Without using a jcb.
Chap has found the remains of a hinge, no doubt whatsoever that it must be from a treasure chest.
Meanwhile Dr Spooner is working on the paved area in the swamp, taking samples of wood from a tree that was killed when the swamp was created.
On Lot 25 one of the test pits is getting rather deep, and they find a cavity which they're going to stick a camera down into to see if it's manmade.
It lines up with an anomaly on the GPR survey.
Gary's getting really excited.
They've got the Septic (Tank) Doctor to put his sewer camera down the hole.
Which finds nothing much of innerest really.
I think it's a drain.
Yet more unbelievable excitement next week.
