Good movie.

I also was in a sorting mood. The contents of this: Is slowly making its way into these: And I'll get rid of the table as the shelf spacings are awkward and I'll use one of the bays on the racking as a bench.

I bet Trump is wishing he'd taken the Boeing/Clinton approach to dealing with those with incriminating details....

Chasing a problem on the speed sensor on the LandCruiser. Speedo keeps jumping even when stationary, got a new sensor but they didn't fix it. Anyway. When I was under there changing it over I noticed the retaining clip and bolt was gone. Thread was borked too. So repaired the thread and...

Given the condition the Hilux seems to be in from a cursory look at the pictures (damage to A pillars caused by rust, chassis rust etc.) I think you need to consider the adage of Grandfather's Axe. How much of the original vehicle will be left once the repairs are done, and what percentage of...

Maybe a case of careful what you wish for so you don't get what you deserve...

Choice for putting it there was because the floor is already tiled (rest of the room is carpet and rest of house is floating timber flooring) so that location would negate flooring changes. It's also a space we currently don't use because of the bar so wouldn't have to reconfigure the living...

At the bottom right of people's posts is a "reply" button. If you click that it will copy their post and you'll be able to respond to it. Bit less messy and easier to wade through. You can quote multiple people in one post and chop the posts up by hitting enter after the sentence you want to...

I love when people do that. You can usually pick the people that are going to do it too. I've had a few try it and I normally sharpen my turn in and then slam the brakes. There's nothing on the trailer that a car could hurt so it's up to them to decide if they stop or not :p

Yeah it's a bit of a tricky situation with the design of it to get a few things working, need WiFi extenders etc. Being a flat roof I can't even easily duct the heat without making it look absolutely horrible so that's out too. Where I live is also less than an hour from a whole heap of...

Dot in the rumpus room would be where the unit would be placed, then it becomes a straight shot down a hallway to the rest of the house.

Are you going to modify the axle tubes and axles on the Hilux or find something with a similar track width and make it up in offset rims? How bad is the chassis rust? Any chassis repairs will have to be done to take into account the extra weight of the 308 motor and to satisfy an engineer...

You can make that round hole square. It just requires a *very* expensive hacksaw. Engine conversion alone will probably run between $5,000 and $10,000 alone being conservative depending how much he can do himself. (Plus engineering As an example, The motor is the cheap part. LS1 conversions...

Wider not taller. https://www.carsguide.com.au/toyota/hilux/car-dimensions/1989 https://www.car.info/en-se/holden/commodore/commodore-sedan-3rd-generation-vx-11441658#specs The VX is 200mm wider in the body so you would need to find some way of legally spacing out the rims on the Hilux so it...

Mainly because the Hilux is a ladder frame design and the Commodore is a monocoque. So you would first need to get the 308 engineered into the Hilux chassis and then chop enough of the Commodore chassis away to marry up with the Hilux chassis. Which would require body mountings to be modified...

My wife thinks it's perfect.... ;) As for the heater...probably not. I just went to the top of the price range and figure I'll work backwards from there since they're so cheap.

I'm about to go down the same path for the same reason. Much of our power usage is sucked up by the split systems for heating. In winter when the solar won't be getting the full whack I'd rather burn a few trees than use the battery charge and ultimately peak pricing to heat the house...

That was drone shot, which is why they're a little fuzzy because of the way the platform moves during longer exposures.

A couple of shots of Saturday nights Aurora Australis, last one is the first image with colour boosted.

Or take the Boeing approach...

Or a unionised workforce perhaps? ;)

Maybe the money would be better spent teaching Labor how to plan their projects so they don't consistently **** up their initially announced project or event figures both in time and costings...

Well it seems that was a lie. Shocking. Rail projects on hold *and* funding cut to healthcare promises including mental health. They're now chest beating and continuing to squabble with Melbourne Airport while threatening to do what Avalon and the federal government told them to do years...

Finished removing the exhaust manifold on the GTI. Well, I have it off enough to get the old gasket out. Will likely need to drop the turbo coolant line to facilitate cleaning the surfaces. Getting it back together will not be fun. New gasket is waiting to be picked up and I ordered a new...

Check out the Kia Cerato GT. Similar size, and top of the line for that model with pretty much every option on them (sensors. Camera, lane assist. Etc etc)

They have, hands down the *worst* online auto parts site.

Same. We're about 6 months off paying out our mortgage and are looking to book in with a financial advisor to discuss our options. Although we're likely to do a few improvements ($30+K of solar/battery and a carport).

They won't talk about that, they won't talk about the Commonwealth Games...it's quite clear they care more about retaining their power than the money or lives of Victorians.

Lol. Yup. Exactly what I was going to say. I'm sure oldbomb would avail us with some anecdote about his elderly parents and how it's unjust and unfair that they have to wait for a gap in traffic. That would be if he wasn't scared of an opposing viewpoint.

That's not a nice thing to call oldbomb.

Started removing the exhaust manifold on the GTI to replace the gasket. Some choice words and threats of waging another war on our German friends were made. One of the exhaust studs sits behind the stud for the downpipe. Which means it's a spanner to remove situation. But that isn't even the...

That would only happen once.....two Mondays on the other hand ..

Nothing worse than a week with two Mondays...

Ever considered that putting some boiling water onto coffee beans may not be the only skill somebody possesses? I get that picking things up and putting them down again or pressing buttons may be as far as some people's skill set reaches but it's not outside the realm of believability that...

Not sure if you should feel privileged or disgusted that given the choice of finishing the job at hand...or coming out to talk to you he chose the latter... Hopefully he didn't shake your hand ;)

The stupidity of putting an acknowledgement of country at the start of a dawn service.

Was working near the shrine today. Was nice to contemplate and enjoy it in the predawn on my own. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/o8QSgu7mvtadhWXi/?mibextid=qi2Omg
