There is a long standing significance to 40 days - as this superb piece of complete nonsense utterly fails to explain. Wikipedia is more comprehensible and asserts that:"The planet Venus forms a pentagram in the night sky every eight years with it returning to its original point every 40 years with a 40 day regression (some scholars believe that this ancient information was the basis for the number 40 becoming sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims)"
Quite a lot can happen in forty days. For example in the last forty days we had three power cuts, two of them deliberately instigated by Scottish and Southern Electricity (The "Hydro" of ancient Scottish mythology), and the casing was blown off the wind turbine putting it out of action for two days. And a whole lot more besides.
Here are the two graphs you've been waiting for showing the performance of the evance r9000 over the first 40 days...
The First 40 days shows clearly that the turbine, despite the power cuts and being taken off line, is performing almost bang on target. I think on the whole I would have preferred it to be more above target - this monitoring period being in winter and with summer's dead calm balmy days to come I would expect the blue area to dip below the purple. I would then expect the shortfall to be made up in the winter.
The line graph is more interesting. One day I'll explain it - but just now I've got to walk the dog.
