Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Good morning All. 12* and sunny.

Further info regarding door.
Having paid the freight company on Monday morning I tried calling the seller yesterday to ask if the door had been picked up, no answer. I also sent an email and a text, no answer.
This morning I called the freight company and was advised that the door had not been picked up for some reason and was advised that they would chase it up and get back to me.
If it doesn't arrive this week I will not be here to take delivery as we are headed to VIC by car next week. :? :evil:

Good morning everyone. Its a bright, sunny morning here in Mulwala. Not too warm though, but no wind, so that must be a bonus.
Just about to head over to the Wangaratta ER again. They still havent a proper bed for the poor old fella yet.
What is it with freight companies, do they not care or are they just too busy?
Safe travels everybody, happy hump day.
Cheers

Good morning, 12c so good having the sun shinning, the lake is a mild pond not a soul to be seen.

George seems a bit weird that you can’t contact the seller :? hope you receive good news from freight company.

Bernie hoping your parcel arrives safely today, it’s certainly become a big industry with people buying online.

:lol: :lol: Just checked emails, I have a parcel being delivered today by Australia post.

Morning all,

At Wooroonook. Stunning.

The new Victron inverter with eco mode is brilliant. Halved my overnight power consumption because the inverter basically turns off. It checks for a load every 10 minutes or so, which would only be the fridge wanting to start.

Has eliminated my want to install an inverter compressor fridge.

Have you got the family with you?
You aren't giving your son's car a test out I hope! Is he happy with it? (we need a photo of it!)

Even running on normal mode you will find it uses very little power on standby, compared to the evilbay specials, the Victron is a lot more expensive, but you get so much more for the $$ spent you soon forget about the purchase price.

In the (ex) motorhome, Margaret was turning the inverter off over night. When TV power outlets were removed because the coax cable burnt, there was no 12v to run her huffa puffa machine, so she had to leave the inverter switch on ..... it used very little compared to being off over night so it was left on 24/7 after that.

BLOODY package didn't arrive 😡
This mob are worse than Aussie post...grrr. we were to pick something else up yesterday but had to postpone it because package will require signature...

Besides all that I have set the car shed up to do work on daughter's little nipper caravan next week when she drops it off.

There is a beaver tail trailer that I'm interested in, it can load 2000kgs.
But I still have to talk herself in to it
Carol has a new project 😡😡😡
That means I have a new project...

Thinking of Terries dad... Dave.
Keep safe everyone.
Bernie.
The trailer might be able to carry 2 tonne, but the legal max all up weight is less than 2 tonne unless it is fitted with a break away brake applying system.
