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!!!

George remember the house is higher than the bus take care.

Good morning All. Gutters cleared of leaves and washed clean, downpipes removed and hosed out, upper level walls given a wash, all leaves vacuumed from deck prior to giving it a clean. Julie headed off to Canberra at 7am for 4 days so i may get to have a rest after I go shopping for some frozen meals.

Good morning everyone. Its a bit cloudy here this morning, but the man reckons we'll see 23° today.
Did a bit of browsing at the Laidley Pioneer Village on the way home from Toowoomba yesty. Interesting place. They have a fair bit of memorabilia and things from days gone by, on display. Dot, you should bring George here, next time you are up this way. Instead of staying at Marburg, you could stay in the free camp across the road from this place. There are few nice little towns and villages back off the highway that are well worth a visit.
NC George, do you ever regret not learning to cook? Glad you made your way down off the roof safely.
Nothing much planned for today so far.
Safe travels everybody, have a great day.
Cheers
David

Good morning everyone. Just another day in paradise. 21° already heading for 25. No rain here either.
We spent most of yesty arvo packing up and restocking the Winny for a trip up to the Stanthorpe area for a few days. Should be on the road before lunch I hope.
Don't overdo things Bernie, you haven't used any of tomorrow yet. :D
Safe travels everybody. Have another top day.
Cheers

What type of plugs did you fit Bernie? How you put an anti seize lubricant on the threads, they are prone to binding between the steel plug thread and the aluminium thread and it tears out the next time the plugs are removed ... head off and a thread insert fitted, not a helicoil because that will come out with the next plug removal :twisted:

Got the Silver Prius up and running yesterday evening yeah :D Now to clean all the remaining dry powdered from the fire extinguishers that seems to have attached it self quite firmly to all the leather trim :twisted:
Now need to find all the rear inside trim, tail lights and rear plate above the number plate and a leather back seat swab, the trim was lost in the fire, the tail lights and trim piece melted by the heat from the fire .... but it drives again 8-)

I just put in the same as came out Terry. No anti seize.
I googled it so I knew how things went in and out. No mention of anti seize in the videos.
Over 360k on the little yarris. Don't think I will be putting any more plugs in it 😁

Our 2008 Prius has 760,000 kms on the clock, done more than that because the odometer doesn't add anything when the dash decides it wants the day off, so the modern oils in modern engines make them last a long time. The plugs in the Prius are iridium, they last for over 300,000kms, the '06 Prius is still running on the factory plugs with 268,000km on the clock .....
