What are YOU doing right NOW

[Hawkear]

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery to you both. I still believe that ships are just floating incubators for covid and other nasties. Mask Up . Mackka

Have to agree. Even though constantly reminded about masking up and hand hygiene it was also disappointing to see people skipping hand sanitation and washing stations on their way to the dining areas.
Most likely will be our last cruise ever.
It will be the great Aussie outdoors from now on. Suits me just fine.

Best wishes to all that ended up with Covid, hope you're all back in the swing soon without too many problems.

I know RM. Then again I remember my best mate when he came to visit us in the country. Mid Jan 2021 and we had to get the fire going as it was bloody cold.
Nick had an accident and has passed now. RIP
I got him to chop some wood.
Memories hey

Looks like it's time to break out that old Bing Crosby tune:

Hey Grumblebums. Let's keep the mood positive for the festive season, please. There's plenty of negativity in the world already without bringing it on to the forum.
Thanks

You can send me some of them flames, I just went out and checked the Thermometer in the Van and it says -6.2*c and the Snow that fell on Sunday is still here and turned to Ice,

Great news, a whole new life begins with retirement. If you thought you was busy at work it has nothing on retirement. You'd better enjoy that holiday because it might be the last one you get

Best to pack it away completely empty of fuel when the time comes if it will be sitting for a long time unused.

 

[Nanjim]

Good point Moneybox….
It will be just about empty when the power comes back on..

Yes Pa something that Warner should watch. I knew he would be out before making 10, you can tell in his stance. Mackka

Putting some automatic lighting on the work trailer!
I haven't put the switch panel in yet, but basically, open the doors and the lights come on, then can be turned off if not required by the switch panel.

Looking good Simmo. How do you get on with your AEG batteries. Nearly all mine are stuffed and long before they should be and no warranty on them.

 

[Simmo]

Yeah mate, I'm an AEG convert for now!
Register your gear online and get more warranty, 5 years in some cases.
Batteries, yup been through a few and you are right, they don't get the extended warranty.
I think usage might be the key mate, use the buggers or they get lazy and die??
I've had two go now, but I think I would have had them in the 'rotation' about 2 years?
Cant really complain?

Yes agree, will end up with gluey gunk in carby if left too long as fuel slowly evaporates and leaves residue behind. Talking from experience gained the hard way.
