The two hoses I ordered won't fit, but I did find the part number for hoses that will fit, hopefully they will be here tomorrow and I can return the other two hoses ....

I started watching that dude mutter and fluff and drone on, but it is all mind numbingly (is that a word Ray) boring. If it's just on how to set up inverters for Max efficiency or power it shouldn't be too hard. It would depend on how they have put that card together. If they programmed it to be user friendly then it will be ok. But programmers don't often think like that.

The two x 45* hoses have arrived, they took back the other 2 hoses, so that's a win, now to find some enthusiasm to make up the required hose and fit it ......

So, have all the issues with the LPG being non-functional been sorted out with all the other to-ing and fro-ing or is that something that still needs doing if the rain on the east coast ever goes away?

Still have to replace all the LPG hoses ..... or drive back to Mannum on petrol :o
Yes, it is raining again, those hoses are under the Winnie, but the driveway slopes down hill, so it isn't dry under there. At least I think I know what the problem is, so that's a start :lol:

I'm guessing within a few days after the grandson makes his debut into the world, but he's hanging in there at the moment, seems in no rush to leave the place he has set up for himself :lol:
Plan to do a visiting tour on the way back, about the only appointments that can't be postponed is my needles in the eyes and Margaret's specialist visit at Flinders Hospital.

I might buy the hose here and do them on the trip home .... but more likely just take the hose home and do them there :roll:

Time flies... June 22nd, was the day of the hill climb, out of Chinaman Valley.
