An atheist was out rowing on Loch Ness when the monster came up and almost capsized his boat. The rower shouted "God help me!" The Lord came down and chased the monster away. He turned to the rower and said, "Why did you call for help from me? You don't even believe in me." The rower said, "Fair go, 10 minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster."

Correct.

Random pic from the net. Poor old Chief, it's sad to see, but I certainly wouldn't knock it back if I found it on a scrap heap.

Not sure if this is an old dodgem car or off a merry go round:

Nah, People Love it. I wouldn't want to go to a Place that Has the death Penalty. It's state Sanctioned Murder. A poor example to exhibit, especially in a Country that Pretends to be Christian. Thou shalt NOT KILL. Also Let He who is without sin, Cast the first Stone, Judge NOT, Lest thee be judged. Nev

Cheeses Crust. We've been through this before. Of course it's used. You had cover and Peace of Mind.. That's NOT Nuthin. Nev

What are you soaking it In. Diesel? Nev

He also tried to Get Clover Moore out of the Sydney Mayors position by making wild claims about Aircraft expenses, so his wife could have a go at it. He has NO shame. He hasn't got NICE teeth Either. Nev

Angus Is both a swary consultant and a farmer, and dodgy as hell in both roles. He has broken the law heaps of times and as they were in power got to keep the grubby gains. Look up Jamland - profit from breaking environmental laws Also a big water deal that miracously changed directors from him to a Taxhaven just before his government paid millions for water that didn't exist. Barnaby was also involved.

The engine will have had a good soak by then.

That's simply not how insurance works.

Here we go again. You insure your house. It doesn't burn down or get robbed. A tree doesn't fall on it. You don't get your money back. You insure your car. It doesn't get stolen or smashed. You don't get a refund. You don't pay CTP, run over a kid or an old person and critically injure them or kill them. Who pays for their medical treatment or funeral? You do. That's why you pay CTP, like any other insurance.

I think there will be so much pushback from politicians and the public that he will be forced to drop that barbaric idea.

His sick ex-TV commentator SSecretay of Defence, Pete Hekseth, (a recent photo had his title with a double S - guess where SS came from) has stated that a military execution by firing squad will be live streamed. What a piece of shit. Even J.D.Vance said he wouldn't be watching. First firing squad since WWII.

The immediate job in the project is to drop a possible contender engine in the bath for a couple of weeks. It's been in the weather for quite a while so could do with a good soak. While that's happening, it's back to the shed renovations so I can get the workshop better set up. It's got to the point of being barely functional and you probably wouldn't want to go in there without life insurance and a map to find your way back out. The main shed adjustments are to: refit a set of steel diagonal braces, and finish replacing some timber wall purlins with steel RHS that I have on hand. Then clean out enough floor space to pull a big heavy steel bench out and away from one wall section. Remove the steel diagonals from that section. Remove the cladding from the timber framed wall behind it. Run cyclone rods in that wall frame (it will be upgraded to a bracing wall to replace the bracing of the steel diagonals. The diagonals need to go to fit shelving flat against the bracing wall). Insulate the wall frame and clad it with bracing ply. Another 6 metre wall section that adjoins another shed section will be cladded in and a doorway blocked off in the process. Build another alternative access to the other shed section. The doorway is already there, I just need to build a ramp leading to it. That would just about finish the construction side of the shed. Then it's just a matter of fitting shelving, making some more benches, setting up the lathe, mill, bench grinders and all the other equipment in their permanent home, sorting out all the tools and bits and pieces and getting it looking like a workshop. Theoretically that should leave all the central shed floorspace free to start this project (and others). It all doesn't make much sense without photos.

He doesn't keep Pointing it out. Why is it a disadvantage? IF that's all you can whinge about . Overseas sources Rate the Government Highly in the things that Matter. Check it out. Nev

The Norwegian Gov't has no connection to the Group that decides who gets the Nobel Peace prize. Trump has the emotional development of a Sooky 4year old building $#!t Castles in his Pram. Nev

The National party cares more about coal and gas than It does about Small Farmers. Nev

He's just blasted Norway in a speech because they didn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize. He said he deserved it for stopping eight wars plus two more which he says he will wrap up very soon, including the one he started although he didn't mention that. What a loser. It's hard to believe that this moron is the US president. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgj921e14jdo

You always need to know Ground Height and your actual height to determine Height above ground. Putting in the Local area QNH, OR setting your altimeter to read the Aerodrome Height when you are on the ground will achieve that, and separate you from other traffic referencing the same Info. Nev.

I was reading in the news where Pauline referred to Angus Taylor as a smarmy management consultant. It got me curious enough to read the Wiki page on Taylor, and looking at his background you'd think he'd be a much better fit in the National Party considering his extensive agricultural background.

Agree Jerry, a PhD means little these days. Every second Joe Blow has one. Our ex premier did his PhD on trade unionism. Total work experience - straight from uni to work for the unions, then on to work for the Labor Party, then on to being elected as a Politician. What an asset.

By setting 1040HPa on the altimeter assuming ground is effectively sea level (and temp =15 deg).

I agree with that. What caused me to pose the question was how would a pilot know how high the aircraft actually was aove ground if the DA gave a calculated location that was below ground level.

Getting a couple of wheels shouldn't be that Hard. If you want to restore a vehicle and get the Best outcome, Get the BEST one you can find and do the Least to it that destroys it's originality. A lot of these old vehicles have Fatigued Axles cracked cranks, heads and Blocks and Chassis Parts and RUST,etc.
