I just have to stop wrecking my shit!!!

[Ben-e-boy]

One of the companies we do work for had a massive operator error based breakdown which ended up damaging high speed servo motors and their encoder cables/plugs. All the cable are custom length which is specific for the motor and servo drive unit. None of which is "off the shelf and readily available".

Last resort was to join on old cables that had good plugs but were hacked off to less than 1m long.

14 hours and 176 solder joints later all servo motors run and know where they are and what they're doing. Im stoked about that

Thanks, I will keep you in mind. Its been over 18 months in the making. And more money than I thought just to get to this stage and we haven't even dug a hole in the ground. But we are finally ready to go. The builder reckons he'll be done by Christmas too. I've built my own house, fully renovated another house but never have done an extension to one. So this is a first. Then once this is all done the 70's bathroom we have will be gutted and re done to bring it into this century atleast.

I will still have to wait a few years unfortunately to get my own shed though. That will be done over time I think.

Had some industrious fellows turn up, this morning, to lift the water tank onto its new sand pad.

What's the capacity of that tank mate? I've been thinking of getting a tank for ages. Do you know it's dimensions?

I'd always thought you could roll those things into place???????

[mudnut]

Around 22000 litres, just about 4 metre diameter Approximately 12-13 metres circumference i haven't measured, but guess it is around 2.5 metres at the centre pole.

I found it easy to pull the tank off its pad, with the Patrol's winch.

When the tank was first installed, the delivery guy just flipped it onto the sand pad, but it took ages to get the sand level under the tank. I no longer

have the physical capacity to get under the tank to fix the pad.

It was only $150 to hire the crane, and now the tank sits perfectly.

My work team were all Sydney based and I used to give them absolute crap when Storm were winning everything, they hated it.
I'm a bit of a sports nut, used to go to AFL, NRL, A-League. Been to the Commonwealth Games, heaps of visits to Olympic Park for athletics many years ago and also the boxing. Getting to old for all that now, now I watch everything on TV except golf and basketball.

Something to talk about at the next meetup - remind me (I'm hard to shutup), the older I get the better I was. :D

Haha nice one Jack. Yeah we all do that a bit I reckon. Tried to get into soccer but just couldn't. Too much staging for me. Tried to get into gridiron and just couldn't. Different teams for attack and defence? Huh?? Don't mind watching golf, I find it relaxing. Bit like slow TV. Love cricket the most I'd say, but test cricket. Can't stand the slap and tickle 20/20 stuff. Really enjoy the rugby league. AFL I went off after the bombers debacle caused me to stop following a team I'd loved since I was a kid. Still hurts that one. Ive been to the Bledisloe Cup and love watching rugby but have no idea what's going on! Would love to know the rules to make sense of it. :D Absolutely love boxing. Now that is one beautiful (and brutal) art form. Speedway motorbikes get me going and I try to get to a couple of meets each year. Moto GP is amazingly mind blowing for me but can't stand Formula 1.

Driving back from the Peninsula this afternoon and I split a heater hose doing 100km/h about 15 minutes away from home. Managed to pull over and stop almost straight away, the steam from the coolant that sprayed everywhere made it abit to hard to find the fault. While I was waiting this bloke pulls over and asked if I need a hand. I explained that I was just waiting for the steam to die down to see which hose crapped itself. Nice and easy to see, split about 25mm long on the top side of the hose. Now I use to have a small amount of tools in the back, but haven't had then in for a while. Young (well under than me) bloke had a handful of tools, cut off yucky bit and refit. Took about a liter of water. Thanked him for stopping and having some tools. I do believe in good karma, something good will go his way.

Now the hose that needs replacing is the one that has the dogleg elbow, it goes to the top fitting into the firewall.

Is this it.

Replaced the heater hose that split earlier this week, oil and filter change on the patrol and the the boys car. Repositioned all the car clearing and servicing bits and pieces from the shed to a rack in the garage. No move walking from the driveway to the far back corner behind the house everytime I forget to bring something out. Even manage to put the security camera hard drive box in a cupboard. Really cleaned up the area and the kids can keep there smelly sport boots there too.

It’s weird though. I’m on the ground looking up and thinking yeah I’ll just do this and that. I get up there. The wind is blowing, the tree is swaying and the bucket I’m in is swaying another way and I’m so close to losing my shit! I am so glad I am done with this thing. Now to clean the mess up.

Yeah, I guess it's all part of the adventure! :) Just back from 3 nights camped down on the Emu Creek. Was great to get back into the Tvan again.Believe it or not we hadn't used it since end of last September, (but have lived in 5 different places around FNQ). It's pretty peaceful where we are near Mutchilba, but down on the creek with huge amount of bird life & great views was hard to beat. Even the midnight visit from several feral/wild horses was added interest. And then this morning we took a punt on some tracks to get back 'home', & had a ball of a time up & down some very steep & rocky tracks, slow going, with lots of 1st & 2nd low, highest altitude was about 950m. Thanks to FNQGU for telling us about the country out there. We tried asking locally if they would be navigable with the Tvan in tow, but couldn't find anyone who knew. Reckon if we had they'd have said no, but the Tvan handled it all no problem. If Ben is reading this ....we drove to Petford on the bitumen & then went down to the riverside camp spot at Emuford. Returned to Mutchilba via Hales Siding, Stannary Hills & past the lake (Stannary Hills Dam) & through Boonmoo Station. Someone was camped at the dam - what a fantastic spot! Great drive.

[FNQGU]

Good one Cuppa. It is a really interesting area and well worth a few days poking around and taking your time. Loads of old ruins and some fantastic tracks to drive.

Happy to be back in the bush again, Melb is not a place for me anymore.

Spent the weekend at Gordon Country 4WD park in the mountains at Goomburra - roughly 3/4 hour or so NW of Cunningham's Gap. Loads of people camping but not many of them were 4WDing.
Lots of good fun, but unfortunately where a few dramas: Careflight was called in for a child with spinal injuries (felloff a tree swing), ambulance called in for another child with a broken leg. Also a family slipped off the track in a muddy patch and would have rolled down an almost sheer drop of more than 50 metres but slid into a stump leaving the vehicle damaged and inclined precariously at more that 45 degrees but safe - wife and 2 kids in the vehicle too, and a company car. Recovery was achieved by the ever helpful 4WD community - we did assist in the recovery but were not the primaries. All safe in the end.
And of course there were the young daredevils who kept getting themselves into awkward situations.
The park is huge and you can camp anywhere, but facilities are a bit scarce to say the last. Toilet facilities are few and far between and showers are a premium. We were completely self sufficient so not an issue for us.
We had a great time.

They said it’s not sold as a seperate part and the only way to buy it was to buy the loom with a new sensor. The guy who I was talking to told me to hang on for a minute, he gets back to me and says he has a spare loom sitting in his desk draw and would send it to me for free. I offered to pay for it and the postage and he refused.

My son hasn't been in a great place lately.

He started doing a PE teacher traineeship at the start of this year, after finishing year 12 last year. He was always going to do something that involved sport. He tossed it in about a month ago, saying that he still loves sport and everything that goes with it, but has now realised that it's not a career that he wants.

He has been working casually the last couple of weeks, while applying for different apprenticeships. Got a call this afternoon that he starts on Tuesday a 2 week trial as a heating and cooling plumber.

Not only it made me happy, but the smile on his face, he's wrapped. Good to have my boy back.

[10G]

Since we're not allowed to travel anywhere outside VIC, I'm sitting here mapping out a trip to visit the 3 points of Victoria.

Point 1 on the south coast, point 2 up near Mildura and Point 3 over east near Mallacoota.

Should be a bloody good trip, think we'll do it over a few trips as I don't have any leave planned ATM.

[10G]

Went out yesterday to get to Point 1 of my 3 Points Vic trip. Point 1 is down on the bottom of the Vic - SA border on the coast.

Took a detour firstly to Princess Margaret Rose Caves, never been there before. It was all shut up with COVID signs everywhere.

Interesting thing was lots of tracks and turn offs that went over the border into SA all had Road Closed signs across them. I was surprised, I really thought they wouldn't bother being way out the bottom of nowhere down here.

Anyway, we didn't get to Point 1 as we had to detour 6kms into SA to get around the Glenelg river and it'd be our luck that Mrs Moanalot would see our VIC plates and dob us into the wallopers.

We'll have another crack at Point 1 in a few weeks.

What's changed in regards to how the game's played? I'm no league expert, quite the opposite actually.

[Winnie]

The big one this year has been the inclusion where any ruck infringements which would used to have been blown a penalty, the ref will now call 6 again and the tackle count is restarted. It's made the play the ball much quicker which means we get more footy in the 80 minutes and the big fellas are getting tired quicker.

In 1995 I moved to Sydney and was itaken to a Balmain Tigers vs Wests Magpies game and didn't get into it again. Didn't understand it. Not even huge Paul Sironen hitups got me to understand the game (although I remember seeing that huge bastard).

Then I went to a friend's local grade games and over several weeks I asked why this, why that, and got taught the ins-and-outs of the game, and I loved it!

Back to Vic in 1998 I preferred League over AFL and went to Storm games at Olympic Park. Was great! But moved out of Melbourne and haven't been to a game since.

Still love watching it on TV and in my opinion it is so consistent in its rules generally. It doesnt change markedly year on year like AFL which has turned from its own game, which was bloody great, to a cross between soccer, basketball and rugby union. Lost its identity in the last 20 years unfortunately.

It seems the price of even old Patrols is high atm. I don't know whether to be happy about it or not, because the resale value of the Q is pretty good. I am toying with the idea of upgrading to a GU, because of the limited towball weight of the Old Trol. I am researching RD28 blocks that have been built to take petrol internals and having the RB30 or RD28 head. This means having the same block with the factory turbo. There are drift cars running the RD/RB combo so it is doable.

Was woken up to this crashing down this morn 0530hrs.

Bit of sorting out to be done today (busy). Hope all is OK with batteries inside, issue will be getting it off roof and see what is going on.

Gen (red unit) looks OK. Just missed water tank.

Picked up my welder today.
Had a quick little play with it and pretty happy so far. Found an old trolley at work and grabbed some scrap. 1st pic is first attempt 4mm, happy that with a descent hammer not of it come apart, that's gasless. Will have to set up the wire tension/speed correctly, but with some more practice it will do me fine.

Also got my meat to make beef jerky over the weekend [emoji39].

Understanding that all welders are different, could you tell me the speed and power/voltage settings you are using? This might put me onto a quicker success path. I have done the internal reconfiguration to run on gas now, but looking at your gasless results I might just swing it back for a trial.

jaysee you should find that using gas will stop the spatter you have around your welds. From what I was told anyhow. The gas is there to form a shield around the weld to hold the heat in for a cleaner weld. So I was told again.... I've never tried gasless on my mig.

Picked up an old new addition for the shed today. Grabbed a box of scrap and made a 4mm bench top. Big plus was I found a 8mm plate that the old owner left behind.

After a bit of moving things around I'm set up a bit better now.

Almost ended in the angry threat.

So we rearranged a few things at work the other day. One being this pedestal drill, that we haven't used in years. I said to my team leader "I'm going to ask the boss if I can take it, we don't use it and it keeps on slipping, probably needs adjusting or new belts." Boss gets back to me "yeah you and have it, it doesn't owe us anything".

Sweet, I thought. Later that day I walked pass to see if it was bolted to the bench or just sitting on there and noticed that the vice was now missing. Long story short, my team leader swiped it and had it under his bench ready to take home. After I approached him he eventually gave it up, but not without making a big song and dance how I owe him and he's doing me a favour. He kept on making excuses for most of the day how he just playing with me , then it was how he wanted it and I'm getting a drill for nothing so I should give him the vice and I should buy a vice.

All this from a 62 year old man, with multiple properties.

F@#$en immature tight ass. He actually told one of the other guys that he wanted the drill but never thought of asking for it because the boss would never give anything away.

F him. This time I won and he lost...http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/08/163.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/08/164.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/08/165.jpg
