Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Good morning everyone. Its just after 9pm here in Zurich. Our flight LX176 leaves for Singapore in about an hour or so.
Then it's onto QF052 for us, at some point. We get home to Bris around 6.30am on Sat morning.
Sad about the Starlink man. Everybody deserves to come home from work.
I hope the predicted storm isn't too wild. Well be flying right over the top of it Sat morn
Safe travels everybody.
Cheers

Good morning All. 208 here and max of 24* forecast with partly cloudy sky.
I was woken at 7:15am by Julie shortly after she landed at Mascot. I should be picking her up from Broadmeadow station about 10:30 so I wont be doing much before then as I need to stay clean.
I have been doing a serious clean of the MH interior, removing everything from drawers etc and vacuuming throughout. What a job. :(

:roll: It was on my computer table all the time, "Male Pattern Blindness" Margaret calls it, most others call it "have a boy look" ......

Clear skies today, so sun burn weather and threatening to be a hot one. I'll see if I can get Margaret enthusiastic about wire brushing the lock down tank straps today, I'm working on getting the fan I used on Big Bus to mount onto the Winnie radiator .... that additional fan shrouding I'd made from aluminium bits make it way too big to fit the 4 x 13" fans as is, so some modified fan shroud making is required ....

I didn't think of looking in the tea pot ..... or was it the kettle, where Norman put his pump parts for safety ..... the microwave was another possibility, but I believe they are for storing tomatoes ..... sorry Kay, couldn't resist :lol:

Back to my awning...I hope the new one is adjusted with the screwdriver 🪛 as per Terry's linc. The one we put on the Isuzu was adjusted the same.
But the one I've just removed was totally different...I can't see how it's adjusted... two pictures show the end piece

Yeah, the wind up method, but not quite as easy as they show in the video, you get about 5 turns before it tries to twist your wrist, so you put the locking "R" pin in through the hole on the free spinning side, the ratchet holds the other end from unwinding and giving you a good crack across the knuckles. Put the two bolts in, don't bother tightening them yet, but the nut on the bolt so it doesn't come out ..... remove the "R" pin, then release the ratchet while holding the pull cord, and let it wind up until it stops .... put the "R" pin in the free turning end and reverse the ratchet, and repeat the 5 turn tightening and refit the "R" pin and then the bolt, the ratchet end is the repeat of the first time.
Repeat the awning roll up process and determine if it's going up even each side, or if one end needs more turns that the other .... you are balancing on the stepladder by this stage, if your sail track is 3 mtrs up like on the Winnie, so I recommend you get someone who will not benefit from you falling off the ladder, to hold it for you .... maybe take their phone and make sure there is no other distractions around ;) :lol:

Did you get the Aussie Traveller anti flapper kit and rafters? Be sure to get the rafters with the maximum curve in them, I got the min curve ones and the high wind gusts were enough to lift the top of the vinyl savage enough to get the rope out of the sail track ...
