Morning all.

I saw that too. Google earthed the dam. It's a small thing. About 50 m in diameter.

More like a fish pond.....

Currently at Ceduna at a caravan park. Shelley Beach. Lovely spot. Huge bays with lots of trees and bushes. Phoenix got bitten by a big bull ant. Wasn't happy.

Can't get in touch with Nigel about the weather.

Here's your weather Jon. https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/au/ceduna/ICEDUN7

Nigel just rang. He reckons NSW and QLD are in for a bit of a belting weather wise today.

I was lucky enough to drill through the busted bit and got it out with an ezi out. Limited clearance was my biggest drama. The old 90° chuck on the air drill saved the day.
I think the biggest drama is mis-alignment of pulleys. I will be checking everything as it goes back together. I think I will be putting never seize on the bolts on final assembly.
It's a two piece bracket that might need a bit of modification when I check the alignment.

Overjoyed that I was able to assist with your problem.

But actually it wasn't me... I'm only 77 years old...

Good morning Keith!
Careful, I've been reliably told more people die in bed than elsewhere!
Anyone know if he'll have better chances while copulating?
(might need to put his teeth back in tho?)

The story goes that it is the ultimate was to pass from one existence to the other, gives you a great story when they ask how did you die

Thanks Chuck. I needed that laugh. Putting this all back together is a bit of a dilemma.

Jon,
That dam may be just a pi$$y little thing, but four Olympic pools worth of water hitting your house/car/self all at once is going to do a LOT of damage!

That little dam is nothing compared to the Happy Valley res, my sisters btother in law was an engineer when that was being built and he said one of the workers told him things were being done incorrectly and one day it would fail, when / if it does go heaven help those in it's path. With that I say Goodmorning to you all, G'day Bob x
