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!!!

We are sitting in Horrocks Beach, about 20km from Northampton pretty spot you could have checked out, there is a Bushtracker meet happening has to be about 80 vans here.

When in Northampton did you notice all the green bunting for their local football team grand final win on the weekend? - the story goes at end of game the opposition was one point ahead, they started celebrating with a few beers, a recount showed a draw so a further ten minutes was then played and Northampton Rams won 🏆

Nigel says it's raining and cold here.

Amazing accuracy, although, missed out on the fog.

Good morning everyone. We are at Green Head today, will be our last day on the coast. Heading inland a bit to an old friends tonight. Eddy, we went to Horrocks last week I think.
Saw all the green and yellow at Northhampton.
Bernie, you need a rest day.
Jon, doesn't look like rain here.
Safe travels everybody.
Cheers

"tanks" here---
Today marks the 1st year of QE2's death, on 8th September 2022. This is also the 1st year since my Major was put to sleep, and also the month of the Twin Towers disaster.

I'm now waiting to hear what disaster the "Albows-and-Kneese" man is going to present to disrupt our existence.
I am very much against all of the flag being paraded behind him when he is giving an address from the podium --especially when our National Flag is folded in such a way that presents only a small portion of the flag ---whereas the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Straight Island flags are placed in a prominent position, with the Aboriginal flag at the centre of the stage immediately behind the "Albos-and-Kneese" man.

September is a disaster month for me !!!
Have a great day - Keith.
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.

Would it be fair to say that it's raining in Melbourne, but not over on the west coast. The scenery over here is mainly stunning with a touch of basic coastal scrub.

Eddy, just had a proper look at the map, we didn't go to Horrocks, will have to get there next time we're over this way. Have a great weekend with the Bushtracker crew.
Cheers

viewtopic.php?p=143036#p143036 $13,000 to $20,000 for over 200,000miles or around 320,000kms, you do realise that equates to 62.5 cents per km, even less per km if you get more than the 320,000 before the battery requires replacing ... and that is genuine Tesla battery replaced by the genuine Tesla workshop, so it comes with the full warranty .....

$20,000 / $2 ltr = 10,000ltrs of fuel, so the fuel cost to equal the battery replacement cost would require the vehicle to achieve 3.125lt/100kms for all the 320,000kms and zero service costs during that time .......

Now, that is something to think about when next you push the "EV's are too expensive and will cost a fortune for a new battery" Throw $20,000 at your used EV to add the pluses that it has a brand new battery, and how much would your used EV be worth compared to the petrol or diesel fuel vehicle with the same 320,000km on the clock, remember, the average private vehicle does less than 20,000km a yr, so the vehicle would be 16 yrs old by that stage ....... will petrol or diesel even be available in 16 yrs time .... what price per ltr .... and who would want a 16 yr old fossil fuel powered car ......

Morning everyone.
:D :D :D I forgot my pledge...I ended up putting 9 sheets up, best effort so far. :P
I didn't start till after SmokO at 10am but my legs and back felt good so I went up. Done them in two at a time batches then after 4pm I done 3, and I must have passed the pain thresh whole...No pain anywhere this morning...and I only have 4 more to go before I don't need the truck. So unless that wind that Dot mentioned knocks me off I will finish the biggest bit today. There was no wind yesterday.
Only other thing I done was water the vegies, some were eaten at Tea time. salad.
Keep safe.
Bernie.
Dammed hard to keep a promise :lol: :lol:
bit of a update...its windy out side...may hamper my objective.
