:lol: Yeah, and it will be part of life from now on when you eat anything fatty, over do the fat part and the system does a full flush to clear out the excess :o

Great grand kids Shirley, grand kids are all fully employed with partners and kids, except the youngest she's a muso adn spends her time when here playing music with me/us. She's getting really good and has a really nice blues voice a bit like Beth Hart, really enjoy playing with her.

Thanks David, always simple things which stump me at times. The backhoe is out of the 1960's and still functions pretty good, finding the problem is a weight of my mind and allows me to work on the next project. Helped my neighbour buy a 1995 Delica a few weeks ago for a greats price in excellent condition other than the front end and some electrics, can't figure out the driving lights wiring yet but haven't tried hard and will tackle that as soon as get all the dumped soil pushed into place and finish off the drive to her place. Had to change the front sway bar, upper and lower front ball joints. Next is finding an a/c compressor for it as they are scarce and the chinese ones last a very short time according to other owners on the delica forum. Thinking if getting a Pajero compressor as they are the same engine, but different configuration so will have to change some hoses and will talk to the a/c bloke after the festive holidays are over to see if he can make up the new hose pipes to fit.

Have installed a bed, twin back draws, 250w solar panel and lifepo4 battery with internal and external lights. It goes really well, have taken it for a test on my place and into the state forest across some rather rugged steep trails and was very pleased with how it handled it, bit top heavy and lifted a back wheel at times when transgressing deep ruts and bog holes. But it came through unscathed, although neighbour was a bit white faced by the end.

Was surprised to see how cheap solar panels have become, new 250 and 300w 12v panels well below $200. A question for Terry or anyone else who has the knowledge, can you put 12v panels in series to compensate for long runs, 12 to 24 or 48v.

With your condition Bruce would be dropping meat entirely, as well as diaries, much better health outcomes that way and much better longer life, once you get used to the diet which in my humble opinion is delicious. I've started getting bananas which are sold cheaply when they start going brown, put them in the blender add unsalted peanuts and raw cashews a bit of water, some natural sultanas, some dates blend the lot and you have a lovely smoothie. Or put it in the freezer in small bowls and you have a great cooling snack which is actually good for you, My GG kids love it, as does my kids and grand kids and me.
