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!!!

I'd be very interested Terry.

Mine is about 5.68 or something.

Not highway and not city.
Matches the bus perfectly with the engine and 6th overdrive

apparently it cruised on the freeway @ 100km/h no problems in 5th (direct drive) with the Bedford 500, but that might have been close to the governor for all I know :lol: The only time it has been on the road since '98 is either on tow truck or a drop deck. I bought all the parts from Don Kyatt? back in 2001 and rebuilt it then, it has been driven from the driveway in Day St Lake Illawarra to turn it around and the second time to load it on the truck to bring it to Mannum.

Good morning.
I finally have the fridge in and secured 😁 appropriate photos sent to daughter...now only one more job... she needs 12v on the other side up front for her TV... another not so easy peasy job.
Once that's done I can then get onto installing my new aircon 😁.
Being a atheist I won't be looking for a staircase or hyway 😜😜.
Besides I'm not going to die...and sofar it's working 👍
There has been big fogs up here lasting to around 9 am, makes everything wet😡. 15 degrees at the moment heading to 29.
Keep safe everyone.
Bernie.

You could run a power cable back up through the solar cables to the roof, run it under conduit and back through the roof where you need it .... just a thought

Thanks Terry, it's another solution... but, I have no conduit and can't buy any here in our area. Plus it would mean another unsightly wire hanging down...it is a poptop.
There are two banet thingys on the correct side...but they are not connected on the same power line. That would have worked..
But... because I can get to one of them ... relatively easy... but... I will persist with my problem 😁

Morning all,

Drove from Lightening Ridge to Pilliga. GPS suggested I take the long way.... so I didn't. Boy was I wrong. 60ks of chopped up clay, a water crossing and a bit of entertainment on the way. He turned off the spray as he went over. :shock:

Morning everyone.
Watch out for the yeti Jon 😁.
Me and a mate used to do a lot of pig shooting in the pilliga back in the day.
With much pain and bark removal on bits of my hands legs and elsewhere I got the wires from the front to the back on the correct side, down through the wardrobe to the floor and along through the kitchen and behind the new fridge then under the floor to the battery compartment...I didn't even know I had bark off my leg till herself told me 😁😡.
No lady's of the night posted last night ?? Hope everyone is ok.
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Good morning everyone. It's a very sad morning here in Mulwala. The dear old FiL passed away yesterday morning, surrounded by family. He was a lovely old bloke, always saw the positive side of things and people.
Good luck with the airco install Bernie. Don't forget the photos. I can get back to thinking about upgrading ours again. But I think we'll be here for a while still.
Safe travels everybody, Where are you this morning Jon?
Cheers
David
