Just got into Melbourne, cold and stuck in a traffic jam, who would want to live here!

Oi, careful.
We're got some of the best beaches to go to and a few hours north there's the mountains.
But yeah traffic can be a problem.

I have been going up the High Country for years through Mansfield and have never been pulled up by the Police or put through a Road Check.

Maybe it is because I am a staid old bugger driving stock standard Nissan Patrols LMAO

Same here never even seen a police car up Mansfield way, but if your Patrol
is 6" high with 37" tyres and lights everywhere let alone covered in mud, well do the math

But Mick's is pretty legal though? Obviously the lights aren't and it is just the risk you run hey! Easy fix for him.

I had a pretty decent trail bike stack up those mountains that way around 15years ago. The handle bar clipped a rock wall in top gear. I had two finger broken sideways, snapped ligaments in my wrist, and punctured my stomach with the handle bar. My bike was fubar and un-rideable. Anyhow luckily I carried a small first aid kit, and I was sitting there on the track with the co riders strapping me up and the fuz came up the track and saw the mess, blood all over me and my gear, and continued to drive past without even asking if I was o.k. Four hours later we got me back to camp, and we started packing up. The same cops came into our camp and drove toward us. Well, did they get an earfull from me. They had the gawl to threaten me with abuse and arrest me. I told them to kcuf off and do some work for a change rather than cruising the hills. He wasn't impressed to say the least.
Two years later, back up there, same copper pulled me over for no number plate on my bike. It had just fallen off and I had it in my bum bag. Copped a fine, even though a corner of the number plate was still bolted to the guard so you could clearly see it broke off.

Seems nothings changed...

Generators at camp!

Sorry if you use one but they ship me to tears!

When we were up at the Murray camp next door generator turned on at 8am for an hour.

Later on in the day the bloke saw my solar panel and was asking questions about it etc and I asked why he turned the generator on at sparrows.

His reply was he had to put the toaster on for his kids brekky...lol

Wow!!!

I showed him those little tripod things you put over the gas burners or the ones for the fire etc.

It was an old clunker chugger chugger generator too :(

I remember when my family did our desert trip, a fella at Dalhousie ran his generator till 10pm on the dot. As he turned it off, there was a massive cheer through the whole camp!

[threedogs]

Never a fan of gensets when camping , its never been an option for me, happy to say that
with the advent of LEDs my power needs are lower, and never ran out of battery yet.
If you pick to camp when the moon is full especially "outback" you can nearly read by moon light.
Gen sets are old hat if you cant do it with 12v youre not really trying

I had this issue when I did my W/A intercooler! Would not prime! I stuck a hose into the pump and was able to get it to prime then it was fine, seemed the initial prime was not happening. Give that a go now it's out again. What tank did you get? A hard polly?

Eureka! Put the hose on and it popped a bit like it was blocked and now flowing :)

Getting a call from the monitor group at my wifes mothers aged village. "The call alarm has gone off and she is not answering the phone, do you want us to call an ambulance?" Well yes.
Anyway turns out she accidently set off the alarm and went back to sleep so all OK. But "what the". The idea is if the alarm goes off the monitor trys to call the person. If no answer they are supposed to call an ambulance then call the listed caontact, not ring us and ask if we want them to call the ambo.

You can apply for an official warning. I did a couple of years ago. Read the the section where you have payment options. I think it was there, maybe the last option. Definitely on the fine.

Yeap company car and you (or company) need to nominate the driver, then the fine is reduced. Used to stop companies from dodging demerit points for their drivers.

Yeap company car and you (or company) need to nominate the driver, then the fine is reduced. Used to stop companies from dodging demerit points for their drivers.


Is that a normal days driving in Ballarat?

[Punderhead]

You can apply for an official warning. I did a few years back. Read the section where you have payment options, think it was the last one. Definitely on the fine somewhere Oops double post.

Never heard of that. You can be given an official warning, but (in qld at least) you can't apply for one. I looked into it when I lost my license.

Ironically, don't Jaycar have free freight with their online store? Not the same as supporting the local franchise owner though.

Dunno, I never needed to order online from them. Its not just them closing their doors, as Toyworld is closing as well. Just more jobs gone by the way side.

Just found out a mates Patrol has done its injector pump.
Has been quoted 3800 for new pump.
3200 for reconditioned
$750 for second hand.
Plus 1200 labour.
Dies all this seen reasonable.

[SonOf]

Sent 2 steers off for slaughter Monday. That was a job in itself as one of the steers decided to try beat the bejesus out of his mate so had to separate them in the truck. Get a call Wednesday from the slaughter house telling me my steers have not arrived. After some calling to the driver find he has taken them to a different place. Call said abbatoir and after checking they tell me they have them and were about to kill them. When I ask them did they get paperwork with them they tell me NO. I ask how they can accept cattle without a waybill and they just say it happens and they just thought they were theirs, WTF
Long story short, have claimed my cattle and they are now hanging in the cool room and said abbatoir is about to cop a big fine from the State Govt department for livestock for accepting cattle without a waybill. The whole time the driver and receiving abbatoir basicallymdidn't care they had stuffed up and I couod have been 360kg of pasture reared beef out!

Is it a CRD or Di Mick ? CRD pumps are cheaper than Di's. But those figures are somewhat in the ballpark of a usual Di pump job.

EDIT: Oh ok, it was something a bit more mundane. Why does it being a company car make so much difference?

I believe that they increased all the fines for company vehicles to stop taxi's / freight companies claiming they didn't know who was driving the vehicle and paying the fine instead of nominating (i.e. no loss of demerit points and drivers stay on the road to make money)

[jack]

surely the GU's are a tad harder to steel

They are, according to the article:

Mr Carroll said due to car security systems, thieves favoured first stealing car keys, which were often taken in home break ins.

“People need to be aware of their keys, don’t keep them in view, don’t just put them on the kitchen counter, put them out of site,” he said.

Unfortunatly looks like the card is cactus, tried two of these programs and all they could recover was five pictures. It's a 64G card and would have had 1000's of pics on it that have been deleted in the past 12 months.

I've owned a Jack Russel Cross. Never again. YAP YAP bloody YAP YAP! He wouldn't do a damn thing we tried to train him. He killed everything from birds, rats, lizards, flies, bats to beetles, crickets and rabbits. We put a bell on his collar to stop him killing the native birds but he would run in and scare the birds away from the bottle brushes then settle in to wait for them to come back. He would jump up and snap the poor buggers out of the sky.

Our wall oven shit itself two weeks before Christmas. Got a new one from good guys - oops no stock in Perth have to come from Melbourne - cupla days. You guessed it, didn't turn up until new year.
Installation agreed for about $200.00. Got home, very bad installation (off center in wall) and a bill for nearly $600.00. "Sorry mate we had to upgrade the wiring from the meter box".
Went berserk and told him what I thought. Got a phone call later from his missus saying I had reduced him to tears and he was in shock. He had never had a complaint before.
Over it - paid the bill and just got on with life.

Remind me never to get on your wrong side, I don't want to be reduced to tears.

No. Please don't make him cry.

[Winnie]

Wow. Well let's hope I don't cop that.
I'd love to go gas. But unsure if we can afford the install costs of the gas.
And it'll be bottle. Mains gas stops 4 doors down.

Bummer! We don't have gas either. Seems everyone still uses electric ovens though, they must be better?

Elec ovens are the way to go. More even heat. More controllable as well.

Elec cook tops are sh!thouse. Gas cook tops are amazing.

We have the old solid electric hot plates here... Hate it! Hahaha. At mums we had gas cooking, loved it!

[firm351]

Fark'n oven just shat itself.
There goes $1100 that we don't really have.
Always the way

Whats happened to it mate, maybe you can repair it or get it repaired. there is a store online that sells shit loads of appliance spares.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea Winnie, lecy oven but gas cook tops.

Um what's wrong.
Well 3 out of 4 of the cook tops and the grill thermostats don't work so there either flat out or off.
And today the oven won't heat. Fan goes and but no heat.

So been quoted $200 a thermostat plus install. And God knows what's wrong now.

[Winnie]

No way mate, you're getting reamed! They're under $100 for sure

[BigRAWesty]

No way mate, you're getting reamed! They're under $100 for sure
Sorry. Your right.
X4 and then instal. Looking at around half a new one.
It's 10 years old. Had a good run.

[firm351]

Try online appliance spares mate. The oven will just be a blown element, easy as to change I got one for $80 for my old oven. They will have thermostats as well.

That's not cheap. Try an electrical wholesaler and you'll get it all a fair bit cheaper.
But yeah the cost is still a big fraction of the cost of replacement

I saw that. What bull shoit hey.

[mudnut]

Wow, if a shearer did that to any of the sheep he was shearing, his peers would hound him out of the industry, quick smart.

[Yendor]

Sound similar to what happened to the greyhound racing industry up here. They all claimed it didn't happen, until it was caught on tape.

Hope it's not the same.

[Winnie]

Just saw a Pat Calinan TV ad, he is such a sellout!

"for SERIOUS offroaders, a petrol generator is absolutely essential"

Ummmm NO!!!!!

[Winnie]

When we were on the Murray for Easter, Amy and I would go for a walk of a night and even 1km away from the campsite all you could hear was the gentle hum of a symphony of generators.
How much noise did my solar panel make during the day? Oh yeah and fuel for that is free!!

[threedogs]

I cant see how ppl can do it TBH, and noise travels down the murray for miles,
you can even hear two guys talking in a dinghy at dusk miles down the river
