If wool wash is so good, why then do sheep have dags?

'cause they keep tearing the toilet paper with the their hooves .....

I'll give it a try in the front loader, it was useless in the twin tub, would have been better wearing the clothes under the shower for all the cleaning it did. Spent more time spraying clothes with presoak than the actual wash time ....

That's weird, never heard of that happening, there is another couple of types now available that needs no rinsing, shall sell you some OR you have very stale nuggets / skiddies in your undies.

Not the undie Dottie the skiddies and other assorted deposits washed out just fine in the wash, no need for Wool wash or soaker spray etc. The soaker spray is for jeans and shirts/T shirts with oil or grease stains, including part of the meal down the front of the shirt stains .... we are both good at that
Wool wash certainly didn't remove any of that sort of soiling in the wash.

I'll have to devise a circuit to change the wash water container to the rinse water container ..... but odds are, it will all go into the one container and I'll pump out of it for the next wash, then switch to fresh for the rinses.
The machine requires water pressure to feed the machine, you can't just add water to the clothes, the first part of the next wash cycle is to run the pump to ensure the tub is empty, so it would just pump it all out again ..... and the soap dispersal system wouldn't work either, it is designed to deliver the water and washing liquid into the centre of the wash load to ensure it gets evenly distributed through the wash, no soap clumps in amongst the clothes when hanging them out, requiring a return to the washing machine for it to try again ..... hate top loaders and twin tubs for that problem, having to make sure the washing powered was fully dissolved in the wash water before the clothes went in ...... time wasting things, who wants to be the servant of the washing machine ......

Got a start on the trailer yesterday, gunna give the inverter wiring a rest for a while and see if that helps with the enthusiasm level for that job.
One side is dismantled and the bits cut that need to be welded back on as well as the position and size of the front wheel hollow drop in stops ..... directly over the spot the locking pins for the trailer tilt go .... a few minor additions should sort that ..... or cut them off and relocate them .....

Measured so many times to get the front and rear wheels on the trailer platform and far enough forward so the rear bumper and end of the trailer are roughly the same ..... it will require a final drive on to make that a definite ... but it's real close. Cage has to go, but at least I don't have to modify it for the front wheels to drive on, it is just the front overhang that requires that space .....

Naturally, there are dramas and arguments about what is it the scope of work for the demolition, they are desperately trying to get out of having to break up the back bedroom concrete ...... someone didn't actually determine just how thick it is ...... maybe 5"

It has been raining on and off here all day, so, between the trips to the house demolition and back trying to get that sorted, then getting back here around 3:30pm only for the rain to get heavier .... well, by Mannum standards anyway, so a quick trip to Mt Barker to pick up a welder that was on special at Total Fools ...... they didn't know anything about the special bundle deal .... nor did they have one in stock Settled for a Michigan package deal, not as good a welder as the Uni=Mig, but I'll probably end up buying a laser welder if I get more serious into welding stuff up.

The next piece of excitment .... forgot my phone yet again and it has the credit cards in it Double F.... it .... but managed to get Margaret to answer my phone and did the sale that way ...... now it's getting too dark to do much safely ..... miss that extra hr of sunlight already .......

Tomorrow is another day .... if it isn't, I just bought another welder and won't get to use that one either

You know how I'm an ideas man..... well, if you sleep in an hour longer, then you can bank those daylight hours in lieu and use them later. You should have a few hours banked by now. They can be claimed when there is an extra day scheduled. Generally every four years.

And, Bernie, since you're awake at 6.30, you have no hours banked. So no extra day in 4 years. When you think about it, it a bit like daylight savings in QLD really.

Because they are Australian sheep and Norman has NOT been near them

You are becoming an Ikea Ideas man Jon, the ideas are getting so confusing they are near impossible to assemble

But what about, if you are like Shirley or me and you are awake for half the night does that count. Can we bring forward banked sleep time and get a good nights sleep every once in a while. That would be nice. Even if it is highly improbable.

[Shirley]

What is a good nights sleep David so long since I experienced same, 7 hours straight would be good I’ve tried everything even the prescription sleeping tablets I’m lucky to sleep 4 hours.

Shirley, if I'm lucky enough to get 5 hours continuous sleep, then I think I'm doing ok. Doesn't happen very often. The only way I can get a good nights sleep is to teetotal. Even 1 beer every couple of days and a good nights sleep is out of the question. Only been like that since I had covid.
