I was going through some files and came across this photo from when I was converting my shed from 36 sq.m to 85 sq.m.. Checked the exif data and it was taken eighteen years ago. How times change. What really stands out is how decrepit the body is now and how I'd have no hope of building that these days. I can barely lift my old jackhammer, let alone use it.

I was also thinking bullets as well..

Yeah but then has to pay them $130k to keep it quiet. Guess they don't call it the "money shot" for nothing.

New battery that held almost all of the charge while I was in Aus. When I shut down the workl computer this eve, I will check how the charge is holding so far (after two weeks back). That is my next check.. Sort of..There are two wires from the controller, but they go to a make connector and meet two wires from the battery to go a female connector. So, I will check resistance across both sets of wires connected.. and if I get resistance, will check each set individually to find the recalcitrant cable. This is the interesting bit. At the connector between the controller and battery cable, the voltage rises... I think it is a tad over 14.4v, but can't remember. However, at the battery terminal, the voltage drops from its 12.7v or thereabouts at a constant rate. Although, it is possible I blew the controller by crossing the cables when I took the reading, I guess.

Added thought- If the charge controller does not have a Black wire, check continuity between the metal body of the charge controller and the chassis. It relies on mounting bolt/s to provide reference ground to the regulator. A bit of corrosion under there will cause your problem. Unbolt, clean metal to metal contact, and try again.

With engine stopped, switches off:- 1. Resistance check between Black wire coming out of charge controller & Batt neg terminal. 2. Resistance check between Red wire @ charge controller & Batt pos terminal. Expect almost zero ohms. Any higher restance will limit charging. With engine running at fast idle:- Measure DC voltage between Red & Black wires @ charge controller. Expect about 12 volts before starting, then at least 13 volts rising to 14.4 volts as battery (hopefully) charges. If this voltage is not the same as voltage measured @ Battery terminals, problem is poor continuity between charge controller & battery terminals. If the voltage @ charge controller does not rise with engine running, check the AC voltage between each of the three stator wires coming into the charge controller - all should be equal. Generic circuit - yours might have some difference but this gives you an idea of how it all hangs together.

I don't think HE gets too Near HIS missus..Nev

He seems to come across a lot of them..

havent listened to radio national, was on the 730 report

I think a near missus does give Donald the chills. She is scary.

They are Called "Near Misses" in the trade. Something must have gotten lost in the translation. Nev

Mine's an original. Nobody's Perfect.. Nev

Mine are from the two guys sitting on a dock, Logan Lisle and the other guy, his brother Matt. logan lisle.mp4

I think MSN needs some humans working for it (who have passed primary school English). Check out this title. "Passenger plane nearly misses helicopter carrying Donald Trump in chlling near-miss" So it nearly missed, but fortunately it didn't?

Jeez, those are worse than Dad jokes. Granddad jokes?

Not sure how much you listen to Radio National, but there's been a LOT of commentary about Albo's ill-judged dinner and his subsequent avoidance of questioning about it. There's only so much you can put in a news bulletin. So no, they didn't just let him get away with it.

Not to look biased. We had a reporter saying that legitamising one nation is a bad thing. I'm not saying they aren't the most trusted source as they should be because they are paid for by the tax payer and that is the difference. Imagine how they would have reacted if the Murdoch press put a cartoon on similar to what the ABC had with Gina except use Wong or Gallagher. They are doing a terrible job at not looking biased.

Mary Trump report. https://www.msn.com/en-au/lifestyle/other/relative-reveals-childhood-rule-that-still-keeps-donald-trump-awake-at-night/ar-AA29xqJZ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=6a75505fa47541c29ef7cee94667c596&ei=45

See what I mean? First I acknowledged that you were making a distinction between giving a gratuity and wagering on horses. I wasn't rubbishing your making that distinction. Then I referred to the age of the joke. I heard it as a kid from my Dad. Would you have been less offended if I had simply used the 'Groan" imogie? I admit that I do comment on a lot of what you post. I also make a point of indicating when I agree with you. Recently you said that the Australian colony had a currency based on rum when I had been talking of a much later period. I posted the information that teh rum curency ended in 1808. I was nearly going to point out that your comment, and those of some other members, on the topic indicated the general lack of knowledge we have of our early history becaasue we've been fed a myth for so long. As I said, I don't want to start a blue, so lt's leave it at that.

They actually bend over backwards to Not Look Biased. They ARE the Most trusted NEWS Source By a Country Mile whether YOU want to believe it or Not. You can check it up as easily as anyone else can. Nev

It's a JOKE OME.. YOU are the one who rubbished MY whiskery Joke. You didn't HAVE to do that. If you Look through the records you will see How little of what I say gets past you without adverse comment... I'm the One who has to watch every word . By comparison YOU get an easy run. Nev

Less bias is not no bias. They are funded by the tax payer and should have no bias. That's the fact Jak! Everyone knows that the other broadcasters are biased. Albo got asked difficult questions on the abc the other day and he just didn't answer it regarding his lunch with the Chinese dude. They just let him get away with it, they wouldn't let the other party's get away with it without some commentary. ABC does the most investigative commentary and adds a bit to make it sell. Remember the extra shots they put in when the Aussie soldiers were shooting out a helicopter. Something the Murdoch press would do!

Don't stomp on the Cornflakes or you may be arrested as a Serial Killer. Nev
