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 been the same here Bob, except for that heavy shower we had on Sat night. There was plenty of lawnmowers going in our street yesty. We watched the young bloke play footy. It was a bit muddy on the field, the surrounds and access was still a quagmire.
Didn't get much else done. Bernie, do you reckon that Bruce will hear you if you type fast? :lol:
I've been listening to the fruit bats come and go in the trees outside our window for the past hour or so. You don't get much sleep when those trees are beginning to flower.
Safe travels all those out and about.

Thank you all for the continued rain .... but you can keep the cold thanks very much :lol: The wind today has ice in it, blow a dog off a chain stuff but the poor dog would be frozen and probably snap off at the collar anyway :roll:
Still trying to sort the mystery 240vac wiring on the Crusader van. What a spiderweb and the wires would be 1mm sq at best, yet it powers a roof top rattler, an oven, the hot water and multiple power points throughout the van. I found 5 cables all wired into a single power point so it appears that was used as a junction point, but more than halfway between the mains and inverter input and the rear of the van. The power box is halfway between the two points, a now blanked off external power point that the cable goes up to the power box yet blanked off at that end as well, but identifying red electrical tape marking claiming it links to cables that went to the inverter? :roll: I had a cable at the inverter junction box that appeared to connect to the appliances and a few other locations, yet when I separated the 5 cables at the junction power point, it doesn't seem to go anywhere :? Maybe it was making a circuit through an appliance, but that would mean somewhere the active and neutral are reversed ..... no, looked for a circuit on the neutrals and that didn't pan out ..... maybe I have to join all the power point junction wires together and start a trace of when the circuit is lost ... if I find one in the first place :twisted:
Another cup of coffee before I make another attempt, so much for the one day swap over of the inverters :twisted:
Apparently someone else had a go at rewiring as well, bypass a switch under the bed and joined a multitude of cables using BP connectors, but some barely connecting by a single wire strand and various nicks in the isolation on multiple cables .......... Who wires up these deathtraps with cable way too small to do the job and run through walls, the roof, back down the wall somewhere else yet seem to come to a dead end .....

Sorryfor the rant, it sort of helped to talk it through to clear a bit of the fog out of the brain ....

Good morning everyone. Off to a little place called Victoria today.
Weather is so bad here at the moment I might think Vic weather is good when I get there!
Only going to Warracknabeal & Horsham.
Oh Bernie that's no good the Victron is playing up! What V of the battery now? (you may need to reconnect those wires on the Redarc to bypass it?)

Good morning everyone. The wind picked up a bit of speed overnight. We had some rain late last night, just before the wind turned up. Everything has been rattling and shaking for a while now, and it's bloody cold. Not going to be much of a day. Dont think much will get done today. If you are lucky Bernie, the cold might sort out those mice.
Enjoy your trip Bruce. Safe travels everybody.
Cheers
David
