    My pager went off twice today, car crash and then the weekly 7pm test. We also use an app called BART. There are still a few payphones in Tasmania, but they are free now. It was costing them too much to send someone out to clear the few dollars in them. They spent more money in fuel for the...

    Glad its not just me :) No storm damage in my area, haven't heard anything about other spots but then I've not been paying much attention to news lately. A friend of mine on the Gold Coast area got slammed, roof off his house, trees down everywhere, boor bugger.

    Hooray! Finally another justification for semi-chisel, and from someone with CRED!! I keep saying it and the blokes give me this 'girl chain' look. Full chisel is the standard offer when buying chain at the saw shop. I have to ask for semi chisel RM, they usually have to find the reel and spin...

    It does help that I am small and my hands fit into tight places. I used to joke that was one reason my hubby married me, I could fit down alongside the engine and reach shaft bearings and stuff on the boat that he couldn't. He'd say I make a great engine pull through and everything was cleaner...

    I'm actually constantly pleased at how easy my Chipstar chipper is to maintain compared to the more common brands. A few pumps on the hydraulic handle and the whole feed wheel assembly lifts up giving me access to the anvil/knife bypass and the gap behind the feed wheel. Four bolts on the...

    Too cute! I was Auntie Bibi for a long time, my oldest nephew couldn't say Fi when he was little, so he said Bibi to me on the phone once and I loved it, it stuck.

    My chipper has a hydraulic bypass switch. If it's off, all the oil bypasses and nothing turns, well, the feedwheel turns very very slowly as some little bit of oil is getting by. Maybe see if there is something similar on yours? Excess grease, stick to scrape, rag to wipe...lots of rags have...

    Small truck + small chipper = fits in small lanes and back yards = lots of those jobs the big boys don't want or can't do.

    Sorry about your hand mate!! Heal up well. Nice little chipper, do a complete visual of everything once you get it, BEFORE you start it. Is grease oozing out of all the right places, find all the grease nipples, check the knives and anvil condition and gap setting. Check fluid levels...

    A few of my friends who have cats have outdoor runs for them. Cat flap and out they go into an enclosure alongside the house. Things to clumps, places to lounge in the sun 😎 Feral cats in Oz spread some disease to sheep, outdoor cats are not well liked.

    Way different, we are on a staycation in a National Park in the world heritage wilderness area. I went bushwalking. It's winter, snow above 1000m, rain where I was. So much fun.

    Oh those metal skates! Kkkshh kkshhh kkshhh on a rough tarmac drive, no glide whatsoever. Absolute joy when you found some smooth concrete...then the cool kids with the latest plastic wheel skates arrive. Slink home quietly and ride your bike instead

    I wonder if the tech for your windscreen replacement is for things like adaptive rain wipers and stuff like that. There would be sensors involved wouldn't there? Another reason I like my low tech truck, even in Oz my last windscreen was only $500 installed. Mind you, been thinking of a new one...
