I went to something in Melbourne quite a few years ago, and it didn't impress me really. Got to chat to a few people I knew that were competing, (but I also knew they were busy) a few displays to look at, (much like a shop) and queues too long for me to wait for food.

I did get to meet Urban Griller there at a display and had time for a quick chat, but he also had to chat to possible customers.

A lot of people love this kind of thing, and probably great if you're a competitor, but it just wasn't really for me.

Whatever it was, I think it was at Flemington racecourse. But can't remember what it was called.

"it's more important to find out what each clip identifies as"

I don't care what it does on its own time. When I'm using it, it can be identified as mine.

So there's just one quiz/word per 24 hours?

I got myself some you beaut (cheap) car battery charger from Amazon.

Every battery charger, or jumper cables, I've ever owned over the last 40 years, had black cable and clip for negative, and red for positive.

This new charger has black wire and clip for neg, but the positive has a red clip, but black and red wire?

Why?

At a glance, you could connect it by glancing at the black wire and connect it wrong.

The only thing, and because electrical items are the keepers of Dark Magic and Voodoo type stuff, is that this charger will also charge a positive earth car/battery.

Although I've never come across a car that is positive earth, it's the only thing I can think of, to have both red and black on the positive wire.

Thanks for any feedback.

It's not a biggie of a problem. Just curious.

Hope it goes okay for you. As in, just mild symptoms.

I have a feeling that when people who are vaxxed get it now, and just have mild cold/flu like symptoms, everyone will say, "what was all the fuss about".

But we may never know how bad you could have been affected without the Vax.

A bit like the Y2K bug. Nothing much bad happened. But that was because the bug was mostly ironed out before it hit 2000.

My Son had it, but his partner never got it.

Bloke at works young boy had it, then a week later his daughter got it, but neither himself or his missus got it.

If I knew it wouldn't kill me, I kinda wouldn't mind a week off work either.

But I'd have to isolate away from the missus, as she has lung problems.

It's too hot to live in the shed for a week.

For those wondering about the size, maybe this screenshot will help.

Well, not so much a hobby, as I never get time to do it, but went Fishing with one of my Son's last Thursday.

Hired a small boat from Frankston for 4 hours. Bit extravagant, but only once a year. Son kept 2 flathead that were legal size, but we probably had 30 fish between us. So we had an absolutely great day. (Boat hire from 7:30am)

No wind, a lot of haze or something, that blocked the sun for 3 hours so that was great too.

After the past few weeks we've had, (5 different hospitals in under 2 weeks) it was great to have a day out.

No probs Gumb. I'll slide it down your driveway before work someday this week, or on the weekend. (My work hours are varied at the moment)

But it's yours.

Road trip??

I don't even know how much the bag is worth. If post wasn't much, I could do that?

Cleaning out my shed and found a bag of Weber Hickory wood chunks. Maybe 3kg? Forgot to look. I have no need for it, so if you're near Boronia, 3155, and you're an active member here, you're welcome to it.

Car had a bit of a squeal from the front. Was very worried it was a wheel bearing, as I don't have the tools to replace that.

Turns out the brake pads have a wear indicator that rubs on the rotor when it's ready to change.

So $55 later, and doing it in shifts because of the passing rain showers, all done.

Pads were in the car when I bought it, so don't know how old they were.

But I got 6 years and 80 thousand Kay's from them. Very happy with that.

I saw the thread heading and thought you wanted a dog.

Thanks for the mention, but I also got a cover when I bought mine, and still in perfect nick.

I've still got a packet of limited edition Roy and HG dream team toilet paper.

oops. Sorry. F1 isn't on free to air. Think there is a highlights package on Monday night. I watch the racing via Kayo.
