and 3RD...

I thought this was interesting.

Found some old termite activity in some studs on one side of the house.

Thought it was interesting the way they ate around the knot.

Entry three.
Back in the day, around nineteen sixty eight. I had pole position for the first one hour endurance race for go karts around the Mallala race track. If I remember there were something like seventy starters in four different classes. We reached speeds of around one hundred Ks plus. Pit stops for fuel and repairs were also included. The kart I`m in I built myself, the motor was a Mc nine, one hundred cc, race engine, it used to spin at around a max of thirteen thousand RPM. The chassis behind me in the photo is an American Bug lay-down , it possibly was running side mounted fuel tanks,so no pit stops. Was laying in third position in class when I broke a throttle cable and had a longish pit stop so finished way down the class. Pit crew in the photo is my old man.IMG_20210817_0002.jpg
Fortunately I have been able to retrieve the chassis and hopefully will be able to do a restoration

Nice topic Hodge

1st entry.

Haven't purchased any of late as any extra funds are going towards the patrol (couple extra cylinder fund).
Pretty much have the ones I want, but then there's the ones that just look good and there's still more room in the cabinet..

The wagon in the middle is a Jim Beam tubbed and tunnel rammed.

Kind of a Hobby I guess and do enjoy when time permits making weird and not always so wonderful contraptions:

‘Wacky Sliders to cart my spare/emergency oils’ (these ones worked a treat and still thankfully)

‘Wacky Rear Winch Ag-Bike Lifterer’
(Works great but does need OCD refinement for speed increase of re-loading/lockdown)
