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!!!
I was toying with the idea of building an induction coil water heater using a similar idea you are using with the external pipe and thermo syphon water circulation ..... but the parts are here for me to reassemble the Suburban unit, so that one isn't going to happen
What a coincidence! I was toying with the idea of building a rocket to fly to the moon to get cakes for Taggerty.... but that's not going to happen either.
I already have the induction coils and driver boards .... do you have the rocket built yet

Yes, you probably do.....
And, a car that doesn't work, an appointment with an eye surgeon coming, a motor home that has cold water and a time line to get to Sydney.
Maybe focus on the important things right now.
Yeah, the really important ones at the moment are a hot shower and bed I think, to see if I can get this back pain to settle. Lucky we have cold water as well as the hot Jon, the 240v element sure gets the water hot
The Prius is a different matter, that is what killed my back, the bending over to get to the pump ..... doing that twice when I had to get the one out of the taxi Prius, then a third time to refit it in the silver Prius, was just too much for the back .... hopefully I can find a reseller that actually has the item on the shelf and is willing to go to the PO and put it in an overnight satchel, or a courier who will drop it off first thing Monday morning ..... all the resellers so far that claim to have Aust stock, don't, they are all resellers based in China ....

Good morning everyone.
Bad back's are not good....been there..
I on the other hand have a sore toe.. and not from putting the front wheel hub on.. probably from putting a new tap for the motorhome sink... bloody difficult because of width of the bench...it's wider than normal, I had to enlist the help of Carol...I have just one little leak to tighten I hope. Next project is mounting the TV bracket... New tv is larger than what was there..
Plus I have people coming today to look at the old aircon I removed from the motorhome... hopefully a sale..
Where's Dot...has her computer caked itself.
Keep safe everyone.
Bernie.
Good morning everyone, and Happy Valentines day to all those that celebrate Pagan festivals.
We have had a fair bit of rain lately 55mm before lunch yesty and at least 25mm since. I check the gauge shortly.
Didn't really achieve much yesty except showed the oldest grandson how to start his father's lawnmower, again.
He'd rather play games on the internet, instead of helping out. I'm not mowing the lawn for him.
I'll be doing a bit of moon rocket work later on, maybe.
Enjoy your day everybody, safe travels.
I haven't heard from Dot either.
Edit, add another 35mm for overnight.
Cheers

Good idea Terry.
Finish the things that need to be done. Park the moon rockets till later.
Now who's suffering from the heat or something, you were building the moon rocket to get cakes for Taggerty ..... so, what's the plan for getting the cakes now Jon
A dose of pain killers and muscle spasm blocker, and I'll have a go at finishing the battery build and putting the hot water system back together

He's probably figured that the most expedient way to get cakes is to go to the local bakery. k.i.s.s.
Stay out of the sun and see how the day goes.

"tanks" here---
I think our Dot & George are in N,Z. or on the way there.

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.
