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 everyone. It looks like we are shaping up for another copy and paste 32⁰ day here on the GC.
Terrie is flying down to Albury today to bring her mum back here. The poor old girl isn't travelling real well at the mo'. All I have to do today is get her to Bris Airport. I'm hoping the morning traffic is ok.
Enjoy your b&e Bernie,
I'm still on soft food for another few days. Can't to get all the dental stuff finished.
Have a top day everybody, safe travels.
Cheers
David

Telstra is still an off/on affair, and this has been going on for around a week now.
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.

Good morning All.
I've been up and mowing before it gets to 30* but, due to the humidity and smoke, I'm a lather of sweat.
I still have the edging to do after I've had some breakfast.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all, it's a freezing 19* here at the moment, I need to find a jumper ....
Today will be getting this caravan electrics board back together, hoping the balancers arrive next week.
The body work frame has been completed and trial fitted, but further work will be postponed until I've recovered from getting these things cut out from my right arm pit.

Have you got the steps stuck in your armpit now? :roll: Oh well, I guess it's better than a tree.

Wait till you have to hold it in place while getting the cups in the diff housing, the threaded adjusters with their threads lined up and the end caps and bolts on each side ... that one is quite a challenge ..... it will be interesting to see the condition of the crown wheel carrier where the planetary gear thrust washers go .... the one I replaced in the Big Bus had double stacked thrust washers to take up the wear, and it was still very loose causing the clunk between overrun and driving ..... the pinion gear teeth where heading towards knife edge due to the wear, but I'm guessing it had the 2.5 million kms on it that the hub meter showed ......

That crown wheel looks to be in pretty good order Jon. What is the pinion like?
If the shoe is for size comparison, what size is it?

11.5 US

Apparently US men have no real sense of size and tend to over exaggerate.
