Morning Dot and Keith.
Shopping all done for the next month...
Alas Terry. I will have to go to ebay for those nut thingys...no one in Maryborough had any Maryborough nut's and bolt's had some but way to small...about three sixteenth .
Any way we wasted a hour talking to friends we bumped into sooo it was a long day.
I will get back to the fridge wiring today...hope that it solves the erratic operation, some days it's perfect then others it struggle to keep required temp.
That's about it folks.
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Good morning everyone. Another hot day for us, according to BoM. Had a quick trip to the shops, then spent the best part of yesty cooking up a few batches of stuff to freeze. Didn't get any grass mowed, maybe today.
Bernie is your fridge a 3 way or compressor?
Have a top day everybody, safe travels.

12v compressor Dave. with two other things on the cable...new cable will be fridge only.
And the original is too small...auto cable me thinks.

What gauge cable are you going to use Bernie? I'd recommend a min of 8 B&S (7.7mm sq conductor) looks like overkill when you see the size of the cable once you reach the fridge, but it's the voltage drop over the length and the high current draw as the compressor first starts up (locked rotor current) that really pulls the voltage down ... is the actual wiring big enough in the fridge itself to supply the compressor? Not really, border line for running 24v as the current draw is half, but it's short, so it sort of works ok.

That's the new cable Terry... bigger is better. Double the size that was there.The run is just over 2mt.

Would have been Finnish if it wasn't for the earth bus bar... only one side is active guess where I put the earth wire. So now about to change it...not an easy feat.
Bernie.

[BernieQ2]

Good morning.
After much swearing. I finally got the earth on for the fridge wire.
That was around 12ish Qld time.
Then inside for the rest of the day, twas 36 degrees.
Will start another thread later about the fridge.
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Good morning All. A beautiful 21* at the moment but yesterday reached 39* so spent the afternoon, 3:30 - 5:30, at the local bowlo, during which the weather changed and we received some heavy rain and lowered humidity along with a drop in temperature.

"tanks" here---More words of wisdom from my Broome mate:-


It turns out we've lived through NINE different decades, TWO different centuries, and TWO different millennia.

We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world. We have gone from black and white photos to color slides to YouTube; from vinyl 12-inch records to cassettes to CDs to online music, from handwritten letters to email and to WhatsApp.

From listening to the cricket live on the radio to black and white TV, then colour TV, and then to HDTV.

We went from black and white movies at the cinema to colour films at the cinema to black and white TV, to colour TV, to VHS taped movies, to DVD movies, and now we watch Netflix. We got to know the first computers, punch cards, diskettes and now we have gigabytes and megabytes in hand on our cell phones or iPads.

We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long pants, oxfords, Bermuda shorts, etc. We dodged infantile paralysis, polio, meningitis, H1N1 flu and now COVID-19.

We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, invented cars, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we ride hybrids or 100% electric.

Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had! They could describe us as "exennials" people who were born into the world of the forties and fifties, who had an analogue childhood and a digital adulthood. We're kind of Ya-seen-it-all.

Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life. It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".

A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, of which are UNIQUE. Here is a precious and very true message:

TIME DOES NOT STOP! Life is a task that we do ourselves every day. When we look, it's already six in the afternoon; when we look, it's already Friday; when we look, the month is over; when we look, the year is over; when we look, 50, 60, 70 and 80 years have passed!

When we look – we no longer know where our friends are. When we look – we lost the love of our life and now, it's too late to go back.

Do not stop doing something you like due to lack of time. Do not stop having someone by your side, because your children will soon not be yours, and you will have to do something with that remaining time, where the only thing that we are going to miss will be the space that can only be enjoyed with the usual friends. This time that, unfortunately, never returns.

That day is today! WE ARE NO LONGER AT AN AGE TO POSTPONE ANYTHING.

Hopefully, you have time to read and then share this message – or else leave it for "LATER", and you will see that you will never share it! Always together, always united, always brothers/sisters, always friends.

Pass it on to your best friends. Don't leave it for later.
