Who was one of the first two men to climb Mt Everest? (they want the Englishman not the sherpa)

Don't they mean the Kiwi?

I was thinking the same thing.

Anyhow we got off to a 14C start here with 27C expected so I'll have 1 more coffee before I go and empty the fuel tank on my maniac brushcutter again.

Cheers.

Chill damp cold long dark nights for around here heralds:

A cacophony of screeching slipping drive belts and spluttering over-choked fumes rich old fossils chugging by... Too many of 'em...


There's a lot round here that is in need of cleaning up to be recycled in whatever way might be possible!

I ran another tank dry in the maniac brushcutter, but at least the backyard is down to a level that the mower can handle, with just most of the front yard and a bit of the back laneway left to do. Depending on the weather tomorrow I'll either mow the backyard or finish getting the rest down far enough for the mower to get onto.

Anyhow as I cool down down in my 20C (feels like 17C) wind tunnel while it's a steamy 24C outside now and I'm ready for a few beers.

Cheers.

Do you mean Kiwi's aren't the same?

Maybe this might be a temporary answer or not.

My printer prints blank pages, I need some HP 8.5x11 letter paper an HP 67xl black ink cart for the HP DJ 4100 Plus, paper errors and not liking my ink carts which might be dry.

I'm waiting with my porch light on for a pharmacy delivery, it's dark out there, temp is 43F & Clear, low of 31 is predicted.

I'm waiting to be patched too.

Do you mean Kiwi's aren't the same?

Of cause they're not and almost any Kiwi will tell you so, just like us Aussies. And don't be surprised if some take real offence at the suggestion of that being so. ;-)

Why do you think that we all play cricket for? :-)

Anyway we're now at a muggy 25C here. Yes we've passed out December daily average here yet again this month.

Cheers.

I thought it was all tea and crumpets.

We reached 26C here today.

Cheers.

I figured out what I need to do to copy my C: drive, I need to remove the drive, install the drive in the rear slot with my SSD in front, press the boxes Button and let the Box copy my 465GB HDD drive to the 1TB SSD, I need to do this cause My HDD drive is within 24.6GB of being FULL. I plan on getting a 4TB WD SSD to replace the 1TB drive with asap.

I still can't print anything as my black ink cart is empty or dry and I should get some 8.5x11" printer paper in a letter format, I have paper that is Legal and I don't think the printer likes it, it arrived a bit banged up at one time. So an HP 67XL ink cart is needed for the HP DJ Plus 4100 printer and some paper.

I applied a lidocaine patch to my left arm, so far it's meh...

I delivered a 4 slice Hamilton Beach toaster oven to my Girl Friend, she loves it, it can heat up a 9" pizza pie inside it.

The clothes washer here is doing ok. Of course the Hot water hose is hooked up to the Cold water pipe, still it works and it's New.

I have a UHF TV antenna and quad shielded cable for a friend so she can watch her soaps without needing to pay the cable company anymore at no cost to her from me. HO HO HO...

My coughing has mostly stopped, maybe I got enough out of my throat.

And I have a decent amount of UPS orders incoming, a bunch of stuff had to be split up.

I love making coffee, yum.

Well Thorsday is nearly at its end here so it's time for me to prepare for another P.O.E.T.S. Day.

Cheers.

I'm ordering the last christmas presents.
It's astouning what i forget after my heart valve surgery.

Dark and chilly damp outside...

Enjoying a pause for thought inside.

... And a steaming hot pint mug of coffee!

Winning on a P.O.E.T.S. Day morning where it's 14C with 27C again our target before showers and storms turn up, possibly before noon, so I think that the mower will stay in the shed while I finish brushcutter what's left of the front yard and laneway and then rake up the grass that's laying everywhere.

Anyhow it's time for a coffee.

Cheers.

Sort of winning...

The shrugging shoulders "good enough no cares" operator was persuaded to get somewhat closer to 100% for the sake of engineering correctness... That took quite a 'discussion'... I was in no mood for his excuses or squirming pride. We got nearer to spec this time.

I'm fore armed for if he's coinciding on the next shift...

All very silly.

After 80mins out in the sunny heat I've now got the whole place down to a level that the old mower can handle and now I'm having a cool down break before I head on back out there to rake as much as possible up and put it into the current compost bay otherwise I won't be going very far between catcher loads when I start mowing tomorrow (if we did get much in the way of rain today that is).

Anyhow while it's a muggy 25C outside (yes we've again passed our daily December average again) it's 21C (feels like 18C) inside my wind tunnel and even though it's an hour early I'm going to have a beer before going back out.

Cheers.

Hallelujah!

22A single phase... That's taken TWO WEEKS to find out!!

No useful details from the supplier or manufacturer. However, some other poor sod suffered a damaged unit and did a bit of reverse engineering and has kindly published what was found... All in a very very obscure niche of the internet!

Fantastic!!

I just finished raking up about 10 catcher loads of grass and put it all in my 2nd compost bay as those dark clouds again begin to build up and the temp hits a steamy 26C.

Meanwhile I'm now going to have a few beers while cooling down in my wind tunnel, where it's 22C (feels like 19C), as I consider what I'll have for lunch.

Cheers.
