Good morning daily

[T1 Terry]

Good morning everyone. Its a drizzly windy morning here today. Won't be a lot happening here I reckon. Will probably watch most of Bathurst, but it's not the same anymore. V8 Supercars aren't so super in my book. I enjoyed it more when you could actually buy what you were looking at.
I'm having an avocado toasty for brekky. No bacon today at our place. Enjoy your day everybody, no matter what you get up to. Safe travels.

Bernie, good morning mate. I have crushed Avocado (plus a tiny splash of lemon juice) on toast for breakfast each morning. She has warned me off fatty foods, so no bacon or red meats.
This was recommended by my GP to counter Diverticulitis which was diagnosed by the CT thingo.
good to hear that you are getting on-top of the motorhome jobs.
See my post to David below, just for a breakfast variation.

Luck you were diagnosed with it, so you know the symptoms of a diverticulitis attack ... if you have an attack, don't let them stick the camera up from the rear end, that is how my mother died ...
Having suffered this disease for quite some time but only diagnosed about 20 yrs ago, anything with small seeds is about the only real restriction I've found ... after the gall bladder was removed due to a mis diagnosis by a specialist that must have specialised in unnecessary surgery, excess fat now results in an evacuation from the point of over load to the exit point ..... with "con brio" using the musical term

I'm hoping hybrid and BEV will become a class in the 12 hr race, then fast charging will really be a thing to invest research into, like the "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" really boosted the Australian car industry .... https://www.shannons.com.au/club/forum/ ... ion%20cars.

If there was a line to be drawn when Bathurst lost its way and the Australian car industry started the spiral to non existence, it was when the car raced at Bathurst had to be randomly picked from a showroom floor and safety modification were all that was allowed ....
I miss the days when the mini and the V8 Falcon battled it out, and the Toyota Celica placed outright in the first 10 cars across the line ...... the A9X was never a street car, nor was the E49 engine in the Valiant Charger, yet you could buy a Phase 3 GTHO on the showroom floor, or a used ex NSW or ACT Highway Pursuit XY Falcon 500 T spec ..... you just needed to rebuild the engine, it might have only done 40,000 miles, but nearly all of them were up around the 7,500 rpm mark, 1,000 rpm faster than the phase 3 GTHO ..... they didn't appreciate revving faster than that and resulted in bent pushrods or the heads dropping off the valves ......

Shirley, hopefully one of our members will have some personal experience with that brands batteries.
Everything that I have seen of theirs doesn't seem to last too long.

Good morning.
Your so cruel Dot
Shirley my daughter asked me the same question a few weeks back, going on reports I have read on other forums I told her to be warry...Can't add to that.

Now the most exciting thing to happen this Monday, we are off to the bigsmoke today.
The little red head Olivia has turned 16...today...don't seem that long ago she was falling asleep on my lap. We will be overnighting at our daughters for the night after dinning at he "Lammy" hotel.
All I done yesterday was watch the V8's...I feel for Feeny.

Sorry Keith I don't like avocado's and I only have two fried eggs with the bacon, Carol has one poached.
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Good morning everyone. Its a bright sunny morning here on the GC, but still very windy. Done nothing yesty but walk the dog and watch Bathurst.
I'm off to see the GP this morning, he didn't like the result of the blood test I had the other day. Then I'm off to the airport to pick up the bride. She's been down at Mulwala visiting her mum and dad for a few days. Not much else to report today.
Safe travels everybody. Have a great day.

Good morning, BOM tells me it’s 5.8c & a maximum 23c today, no rain predicted, the lake is calm only a slight breeze.

Kids are back to school today, last term for the year, can’t believe how quickly it’s nearly Christmas again.

My son has purchased a lithium battery from Kings, told us half the price of other lithium batteries he wants it to run a fridge & couple of lights in his 4x4, time will tell, probably get what you pay for

We were looking into the sun, all needed sun glasses on.

G'day Shirley had a look at the batteries at a kings reseller when purchased a draw set for the back of my land cruiser, had to get a compliance plate for removing the rear seats as it's registered as an 8 seater, even though bought it without any back seats and had the car for more than 6 years. Got stopped by the compliance guys who were checking trucks as the cops did breath tests and they decided to check mine and other cars as no trucks coming by. Got me for no compliance plates for the seats and my long range tanks, to be honest know no one who has their back seats in series 80 cruisers and have long range tanks and no compliance plates, but must be some. In Tas we don't have to get roadworthy certificates yearly or when we sell the cars, only when the truck compliance blokes get bored and pull over cars.

Prices for lithium batteries have dropped dramatically lately and for the 120amp king battery the price their reseller wants is $600, but can get others on ebay for $390. To me it all depends on the warranty as to the veracity of the battery claims and the ones I looked at on ebay, came with 5 years warranty.

Be interested to know what your son thinks of them after using them. I'm seriously thinking of changing all my vehicle batteries to li, because of the short term life I get from LA batteries in this climate, compared to the life span I'm getting from my lifepo4 cells/packs. Every time we go on the road come back to dead batteries in a truck, tractor, earth mover or cars, have taken to disconnecting the batteries to maintain their lives. Now Li batteries are getting close to the price of LA and can be left for years without problems in my experience.

Spent my day yesterday pulling out the neighbours cars radiator after trying to flush the system for her, but the radiator is so blocked and stuffed, got her a new aluminium radiator from ebay for $300. Her cars a 1986 landcruiser sahara and it's the original radiator, couldn't see its real condition because the auto transmission radiators sit in front of the main radiator.

Have a great day everyone, I'll be spending the day on the tractor slashing and making fuel for the bus, going to take a couple of overseas friends on a trip round Tas next week.
