It looks like Donny has found a bunny for his E.J. Carroll appeal after all.

Trump's $92M E. Jean Carroll Bond Raises Questions.

But can he find a bunny for his bigger N.Y. case?

Mind you some "real republicans" arn't happy with the way things are going.

It could be a while yet before I go outside this morning as this cold gale continues to blow across the top of this mountain range.

We got off to a 14C (felt like 10C) start here this morning and we're really no better now at 16C (feels like 11C), except that it's brighter, with our expected 22C looking a long way off ATM.

Anyhow I might as well have another coffee and contemplate the rest of the day.

Cheers.

Correct me if I’m wrong. If the main power goes out the solar is off with it.
As it should without a battery and grid isolating switch.

Cheers.

1 can only try Admiral. ;-)

Anyhow it's now time for my LLB and I'll need it lugging my 4 biggest contestants from today's weigh in up to the pub. I may even get a feed in while I'm there, :-D

Cheers.

Buried in the Falcon? Big hole. Any particular body position? Sitting behind the steering wheel driving into oblivion.
Just fold down the back seat and lay me face down in the back before we go into the car compactor and then into the ground (I don't want the missus nagging at the back of my head when she can do it to my face). ;-)

Damn, there's still an hour to go until LLB time.

Cheers.

After 22yrs of driving the things I certainly can't figure it out unless he was trying to avoid 1 of those city idiots that jump out in front of you, but it's better to hit them than try to swerve to avoid them with a vehicle of that size in the confines of a city (you can only ease on the brakes as you don't wont to be throwing your passengers out of their seats and causing even more injuries) and there are cameras in them to capture those Darwin Award contenders.

And the bus is certainly too far from the corner that it came around for it being a steering failure as well.

The only other thing maybe a medical episode.

I'm happy with my 32 x 415W panels, though I'll be happier when they're paid off so that I can get a battery (maybe even 2, 1 for the shed and the other for the house) to make use of the 2nd 5KW output I have available as I'm restricted to just pumping 5KW into the grid. I could also use it for an EV charger, but I have no intentions of getting 1 at my age and it'd far from being cost effective for me (plus they can bury me in my Falcon when the time comes).

Anyhow I just did another butternut weigh in here with the smallest of 6 being 1.9kg while the largest came in at 2.9kg. The largest of those was only about 2/3rds the size of Big Bertha, but I have the bathroom scales ready for the really big mothers that I'll be knocking on in around an hour's time that will take Bertha's title away from her as well as all those coming in over the kitchen scale's 3kg limit.

We're now at 17C (feels like 13C) here, but at least it is sunny ATM.

[edit] I harvested another 8 good sized butternuts this morning. :-D

Cheers.

This elitist school is again back in the news for more of the wrongs reasons.

Cranbrook School headmaster Nicholas Sampson resigns from private Sydney boys' school.

Sounds like this school is in bad need of a thorough clean out as well as getting rid of any "old boys" on the school council (of which there are usually several of the privileged pr!#ks embedded in them).
