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.
Nothing else to say about yesterday 😁 I might have to set up some sort of money donation thingy for the private viewings 😜 Dave giving you a chuckle is ok the histericle laughter from Carol was worst 😂
And nothing planned for today yet...I may or may not get to removing the driver seat to fix the swivel thingy...
Keep safe... especially around sliding draws...

George, I was gunna be a Mr Smartypants and say that 2 months is a lot longer than 5 hours, but there is obviously some medically inclined back story there. So, more info please. But only if you're ready to talk about it.
Dave, some years ago I had an episode of Temporary Global Amnesia (TGA) and during April I had another. Went to hospital and then had a brain MRI.
Four months later had an appointment with a Specialist and following an hour of questions and tests he thought it may be a mild case of epilepsy so I now require an EEG test but in the meantime I am not allowed to drive. As the last episode was 4 months ago it is only a 2 month ban, otherwise it would have been 6 months.

Luckily, the local Bowlo is within walking distance. :)

Good morning everyone. We've had nice steady drizzling misty rain here since early last night. Great for the garden, but not much chop for getting the Winny out of the MiL's backyard. I'm hoping the crushed rock I put into the tracks where the front wheels have sunk into might help a bit. I'm glad I got off my butt and did something yesty.
Doesn't look like much of a day here. Might be a good day to read a book.
Safe travels everybody, happy hump day.
George, I hope that you can get everything sorted out and get out in the bus with Julie.
Cheers
David

We had 2.1mm rain overnight, now it's a lovely warm sunny day with no wind. My neighbours Delica has a coolant leak, so going to take a look at that before heading for the beach with the dogs and having our run/fast walk. I'm close to running 1klm and 1klm fast walk now and the beach is empty most days, with just a couple of walking dogs. The water rower I bought is great and helping me get fitter, using it every day so I'm fitter for the summer surf season. Got a shock when a WA friend sent me a happy birthday greeting, reminding me I'm no officially 80 and I thought I was still only 45, but your head space can trick you sometimes, all all the time.

Had another shock the other day, had disconnect my portable lifepo4 battery pack from the solar as not keen on it being constantly charged to 14v because not using it much at the moment. Only to discover after 19 years, instead of cells sitting on 3.2v, they now sit on 3.15v, so seems it's reached the end of it's full capacity and has finally lost a bit. Thought it may have unbalanced cells as the cell balancer is as old as the pack, but no, all the cells registered the same voltage. Will now check the house packs, before selling the bus removed the 480amp pack and put it in the house along side the 700amp pack. They're a year younger than the portable pack and were stable last time checked, but as they are in use 24/7, a bit hard to know, so will have to record the charging regime to see what voltage they sit at fully charged.

As a kid, I had a friend who suffered from that, would just go blank and stare at the last thing she was looking at .... kinda freaky until it was explained to me and that I would have to be here carer if we went out on a date.
She wasn't safe riding a bike, so we walked everywhere or took the bus. When I got my first motorbike, I never knew if she was asleep or off with the fairies, I was traded in for someone else and lost contact with her, still wonder how she got on in adult life, she certainly could never drive

Bernie, I know it doesn't rain in Degilbo, well not often anyway. But I saw a post on the internet, so it must be true that states that 1/3 of Aust is going to gcop a major flogging from a rain band real soon. It looks like you are just on the fringe of the predicted rel heavy stuff.

Looks like they clipped the bit out that's over Mannum :roll: :lol: starting to look overcast here again, but it didn't rain today or yesterday, so we are suffering a dry spell by recent Illawarra standards
