Morning all.

Spent yesterday replacing some flashing around the chimney. The plaster has been a little damp and the pain has lifted. Hopefully, I've found it.

That's no good. Pity it wasn't the inside one. then you could have changed it without getting wet.
Have the coppers looked inside the containers yet?

Good morning all. Going for 31deg. today and very smokey. Must be coming from Vic. as there are no local fires here. After our 3 very hot days we have two cooler days and nearly had to look for a jumper in the mornings. Not complaining about that. A few years ago I subdived our house off of our grape vines and I see the new owners have now turned the water off and they are looking very stressed. A bit sad for us to see as we propagated planted and trained each vine but they have only been offered $85 per tonne for them that will only just cover the freight. There are quite a few patches around the riverland looking the same. Cheers John

Good morning again
19c lake is calm, hardly a ripple, breeze S/W very overcast sky, sun trying to make an appearance maybe 5mm rain.

Enjoy Elliott Heads Burnie, when we lived at Bargara there were mainly only holiday homes on the hillside, guess it will be like everywhere else all built out

Ray, would it not pay to keep the vines watered or is it not worth growing grapes for sale anymore

At least with it being an outer tyre, you can run up on a levelling block under the inner tyre and save scrambling about in the mud trying to use a bottle jack ......

How is the temp with the spare tyre in front of the radiator like that? Keeping the rad temp down on the RB145 we bought from Homeless, was always a challenge, running the phosphoric acid in the cooling system with the filter in the top hose, after having the radiator cleaned at an Adelaide radiator mob, at least helped, but when it was hot outside and the heat off the road ..... it was drive by the temperature gauge rather than the speedo or tacho, a lot more lower gear driving to keep the coolant flow up, and an over ride on the electric fan circuit .....

Hey Bernie that is why you have roadside assist, so you don't get wet

[jon_d]

That's why Carol has roadside assist. Let's get real now.....

You are right jd, Carol the one with the "Road side assist" did request assistance from her provider, but he didn't want to get wet.
