I have made good progress on my custom tray for the work bus. I hoping to pretty much finish it this weekend then just wait for better weather to paint and put on the car. I need to test fit it before I paint it so that could be fun lol

Bought a new little toy today, just waiting for the ticket to come through so I can pick it up. It's a Ruger American .22 for a bit of bunny busting and plinking fun.

Had a lever action, 9 magazine Ruger .22 magnum for many years. Sold it when we left Callignee South. Was a lovely little gun. Only thing was that the magnum shells made a loud bang & alerted all the other bunnies. Low velocity .22 shells would have been better. Good for foxes though.Quote:

Went out and about today with Mrs mudsane. We had to use 4wd on a few occasions and she actually enjoyed the drive.
Seeing my solar working great. Still plenty of charge left early in the morning.

After nearly 50 years of living as a skinny runt somewhat teased in early school days….finally today…..just out of the doctors for a checkup was diagnosed as overweight [emoji322]
I’d like to thank here the two local bakeries for their comfort treats within 10km and our loyal bottleo attendant for his always helpful suggestions [emoji120]
I’m not kidding myself though, Covid is the real hero here, couldn’t have made it to this magnificent BMI without you lovely little helpful critters [emoji3590][emoji2957]

My journey is almost mirror image, went to the Doc and blood pressure too high, overweight fat bastard, 105kg. Lose weight or else was the command. I started exercising during this latest 4 month lockdown and combined with no grog for the last 3 yrs, am down to 92kg, blood pressure on the money, look like I can get off the blood pressure pills as well, so That you Covid lockdown. Interesting the different outcomes eh?Quote:

You were 105 @PeeBee ?! Jesus last time I saw you there was nothin of ya - you Would’ve had to run around in the shower to get wet
For me thats getting uncomfortable, and working a desk job from home, snacking and slobbing around, just stacked it on. Affected sleep pattern as well. Anyway, i am trim and delicious again, so you will recognise me when we next meet ol' Sprockie Doodle!Quote:

Managed to find the time to upgrade my battery bank to how it should have been done the first time. Scored the wires all crimped and heat shrunk for $5 per pair. Upgraded all wires to fuse and heavenly devices to suitable wires and also fitted a mini VSR to exclusively run my inverter. Now the inverter can only be on while car is running but can also be manually switched off. The inverter will run from the alternator rather than drawing power from the second battery via alternator charge. Works brilliantly and cost me less than $100http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...021/10/144.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...021/10/145.jpg

Nic, nice setup. I also run a large inverter(3500W) and battery bank (390a/h). I have a large alternator as well (300a/180a at idle). I find I use the battery bank feed to the inverter to charge small items like battery chargers for the makita chainsaw, without the alternator feed, but need the alternator running for other power tools or the coffee machine, I would say in the main the alternator runs most of the time as the current draw without the alternator top up depletes the battery bank too quickly. I certainly cant run the coffee machine for long without the alternator assist for example. If you can still run the inverter off the main bank for the small items you might get some flexibility. What size alternator is in the vehicle? For extended running of 240V power tools, if you need to go that way, that could be your limiting factor - being inability to top up the depleted charge.
I believe it is 120ah. What do I need to consider? It's not big enough? LolQuote:

Battery voltage drops, alternator tops it up, but as you can see in this example, the gap of 80a (200 V 120a) leads to an eventual flattening of the battery.
Swimming pool auto close doors passed the compliance inspection, all legal, all legit, excellent rework by Nic @rustynail over a couple of visits. Stuff like this needs to be handled by the tradie for sure - i would have stuffed around and made a mince of it for sure.
