Sorry Cobber but the 'welcome' was for the OP habib675 :)

I've had an electric Karcher powerwasher for 13 years now. I bought it because the 'internals' are brass, the Karcher brand is used by the RAAF & the RAN Fleet Air Arm and there are fairly local Karcher repair shops. Good luck and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.1C and it's presently 15.2C, mostly clear & calm. There was 1.7mm in the gauge @0900. All tasks successfully accomplished yesterday. Of note was the recycling 'app' that I needed on my mobile phone... I'd gone as far as I was able to set that up but...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.3C and it's presently 14.9C, a bit blustery & mostly sunny. There was 10.8mm in the gauge @0900 as the predicted rain finally arrived to cover the "Liar's" arse. Today will be a busy 'into town' day: first up will be a Veteran's Coffee gathering...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.7C and it's presently 13.4C, cloudy & calm. A lovely Church service yesterday, followed by our 'AGM'. As per usual, the 'usual suspects' volunteered for the various positions... so, once again, I'm the Warden. A great 'bring a plate' luncheon followed...

^^^ You are correct, Peter. Our local club is the "Portland Endurance Riders Club Inc" and I typically get asked to 'man' a checkpoint. Also (for scott_vt) a State Amateur Radio Club also attends these events to supply rider information, as they pass = "number 15 has passed checkpoint #2", in...

Prayers sent. God bless.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low was a surprising 14.2C and it's presently 16.8C, overcast with a wee breeze & some rain. There was 1.5mm in the gauge @0900. What a great meal last evening. The hotel dining area was packed (remember, it's Winter down here) and the 'Thursday special' was BBQ...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.6C and it's presently 14.8C, clear with a wee breeze. I need to start sprucing the house up... Winter, such as it is, tends to make me somewhat lethargic until I spot a herd of dust-rinos. Well, at least I'm thinking about it. 😐 That's about it, take...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -1.8C and it's presently 14.3C, clear & calm. A good 'into town' day yesterday and nothing is planned for today. Yay. That's about it, take care all.

I feel for you, Mate. It's not easy. When I had to have "Jack" put down, a companion horse who I'd never ridden, I still insisted that I hold him and 'be there' for his 'putting down'. I still 'stays with me' to this moment. But, when they need to go...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.6C and it's presently 16.3C, clear & calm. There was 1.5mm in the gauge @0900... the clamps are still there. ;) Ah HA!!! (y) Yesterday arvo I decided to give myself a haircut, then went into town to the hardware shop. Not to buy any new clamps but...

:unsure: But that's the 'mysterious' point. They were in plain sight. I would have looked at them several times without seeing them during the initial search(s). :confused: The only thing that I can think of is that they were very new, to me, 'screw-down' type clamps that were replacing some...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.3C and it's presently 12.6C, mostly cloudy & fairly calm. It took me quite a while to figure out why so many, post 1920's, rural homes/farm structures were built so close to the main road/highway. The answer is power poles. If your building was...

A two spear FEL set-up is my recommendation. It's stable for lifting, especially when loading, and for transporting. ENSURE that you have ample ballast on the 3PH.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.4C and it's presently 14.0C, clear & calm. Received a WhatsApp text from my friend in Washington, D.C.. Only she forgot that her 1200 (noon) is my 0200. :D The bugger is that when you get a text or call during the wee hours you HAVE to answer/respond...

Seeing as I had to practically start from 'scratch' with maintenance tools, such as a grease gun, when I retired and bought my JD tractor... I bought quite a few of those tools at the Parts/Supply department of my dealership. The JD grease gun took JD grease tubes and I've used them ever since...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.4C and it's presently 14.0C, clear with a very gentle breeze. Yesterday's 'tip' run went well as I included some gash (Navy slang for trash/garbage) from the shed. Surprised that the cost of dumping had gone up on the first of the month. Oh well, life...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.2C and it's presently 14.6C, clear & calm. There was 8.3mm in the gauge @0900, all from a surprising downpour yesterday arvo. Which (rain-wise) all happened whilst having some 'tractor fun'. The "Mad Agisting Horse Woman" asked if I could drop off a...

In all of the years that I've my 4105 (new, Feb '13) I have never cleaned any of the excess grease resulting from a grease nipple/zerk. If there's a nipple, it gets grease. If it moves, but doesn't have a nipple, it gets a good spray of lanolin lubricant. I may have washed it once... when I...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.0C and it's presently warmed up to 5.1C with the sun just rising. The predicted High is 14C. It's also clear and calm. There was 24.5mm in the gauge @0730, the majority of that was from yesterday morning after I checked the gauge @0900 (50.5mm), so the...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.1C and it's presently 12.7C, dark overcast with the odd gust and heavy rain... There was 50.5mm in the gauge @0900 and it's still raining, at times my gutters are being overwhelmed so I take it that my water tanks are full :rolleyes: . I checked my...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of -2.3C and it's presently 11.7C, fairly clear & calm but that'll change this evening. A 'rain event' is called for with 10-40mm occurring to early Saturday arvo. We'll see. A good meeting last evening with a Thai meal. Nothing really on for today. That's...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.9C and it's presently 13.6C, clear & calm. A great day was had yesterday plus I had a late arvo Nurse/Doctor appointment @ 1500. The only thing scheduled for today is an evening meeting/supper starting @ 1800. That's about it, take care all.

I remember when I started/re-started telling my Dad that I loved him, especially at the end of telephone calls (due to the distance of my Naval service)... he was somewhat reluctant to 'reciprocate'. I knew that it was simply the way that he had been raised. But, he 'came around'. To the very...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy (Winter) 11.4C and it's presently only 12.8C, mostly cloudy with a wee breeze. There was 10.1mm in the gauge @0900. Thomas: "Enjoy your weekend all."? :unsure: Yep. I received my local Council annual 'rates notice' last week and, yes, like...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.9C and it's presently 15.8C, overcast & calm. There was 0.3mm in the gauge @0900. Drew, I'd like to "chuck a snowball" for you. Unfortunately I live close to the N.E. coast so I'm not at a snowfall elevation. Beside that, my 'yo-yo' Winter temperatures...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 11.4C, high-overcast & becoming blustery... I may need to take the flagpole down. Not much else going on down here. :) That's about it, take care all.

Thank you for 'getting back to us' with the solution to your problem. You never know who you'll help in the future. In the meantime, welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.1C and it's presently 14.8C, mostly sunny with a breeze. There was 3.5mm in the gauge @0900 and it rained a wee bit more after that. I guess that the 'rumours' were true. A good run into town, yesterday. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.9C and it's presently 13.1C, continuing to be clear & calm. There are rumours (BoM prediction = same thing as of late) of some wetness occurring in the wee hours of tomorrow morning. <snert> :rolleyes: Huzzah! It's 'into town' day for mail &...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.2C and it's presently 11.3C, clear & calm. The wind did show up yesterday, but no shower/rain. Oh, well. Nothing really happening or planned for the week, apart from the regular stuff. Lovely. That's about it, take care all.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.2C and it's presently 12.8C [heading to 15C], mostly sunny with a gentle breeze. I'll do the chain-harrowing today as I 'got lost' in my work-shed yesterday doing one little thing... which led to another little thing, and so on. I know that I bought a...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 12.4C, mostly cloudy & calm. There was 0.4mm in the gauge @0900. Well, I checked whilst observing my rain gauge that the horses are no longer in Paddock #4 so that transfer has been done. So, either this arvo or tomorrow I'll get...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.5C and it's presently 12C, clear & calm. There was 2.8mm in the gauge @0900... a heck of a lot less than the 10-15mm predicted. I received a text from the Mad Agisting Horse Woman that they're going to transfer the horses over to where they live...

Daugen,, it's 0520 in the morning for you... what are you doing up at this time of the (your) morning?

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.9C and it's presently 11.2C, overcast & calm. Some wind and rain predicted for later in the arvo/evening. A very productive day was had yesterday helping a Mate of mine. All accomplished and home by 1430. Which led to a very good/sound sleep. Nothing...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.9C and it's presently dipped down to 4.7C [heading up to 15C], partly cloudy and calm. I'm up fairly early to help a Mate for the better part of today. A great excuse to get off my backside. I'll leave here in about a half hour. That's about it, take...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.7C and it's presently 11.6C, partly cloudy & fairly calm. Looks to be a repeat of yesterday and I don't mind that one bit. My thoughts & prayers go out to you Buppies and Holly. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.9C and it's presently 10.7C, clear & calm. And, as typically happens, something came up. Namely my wonderful 3-wheeled wheelbarrow broke. The solid rear axel was spot welded to the tubular 'legs' and time + rust took their toll. I've had it for 12...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low was 9.4C again and it's presently 11.7C, high overcast & fairly calm. The rain finally arrived yesterday arvo for 4.2mm in the gauge @0900. No plans for today... that's about it, take care all.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low was a very mild 9.4C and it's presently 12.4C, overcast with a breeze. Which didn't really happen = there was only 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0900 and nothing to speak of so far today. It's been an active morning with an hour's video call with my Aunt (in...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.5C and it's presently 9.8C, partly cloudy & calm with rain predicted for tonight + all day tomorrow. Just a typical, relaxing day at home planed for today. :) They are an incredibly huge bird, the largest raptor in Australia and one of the largest...

M_G, thanks for that. It was a typical 'small town' funeral in that a huge gathering was had, especially as it's a Monday... so large that it was held at the local football (Aussie Rules) club. Close to 450 attended, and quite a few Veterans. Some of whom I didn't recognise as they were from...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently 7.2C, clear & calm. I've got a funeral to attend in about an hour from now. He was the minister of the Christian Fellowship Church (located next door to my Anglican Church). For many years he also took up the mantle of "Padre" for...

I know that this is considered a "robin 'red breast'" in North America... but it's actually a type of "thrush". An actual robin is a small bird, tit sized. Here in Tasmania, we have three varieties' Scarlet, Pink and Flame. https://angair.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/robins.pdf

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.5C and it's presently 10.3C [heading to 15C], clear & calm. Well, yesterday's paddock transfer (from #3 to #4, for those keeping track at home) went quickly and, seeing as I was 'dressed', I decided to chain-harrow #3 whilst I had enough sunlight...

I agree, Mate. Years ago (12, I believe) I 'invested' in an all-over head shaver... one of those round shaped skull adjustable shavers that I've set to a "Number 2" length. I bought it from a reputable "Shaver shop" and it has more than paid for itself due to the cost of a barber. Especially as...

OK, I won't get snarky... that HAS to be a misplaced (or missing) decimal point.:LOL: Anyway, good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.7C and it's presently 11.5C, clear with a wee breeze. Everything 'in town' accomplished yesterday, although I was mistaken about the paddock transfer @...

I knew right away, Drew, that you'd be referring to Lake Eyre... although your 'wording' is incorrect as it's not a 'new' lake, just one that is re-forming due to infrequent flooding rains in Queensland & New South Wales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Eyre It is quite the ecosystem :)...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.7C and it's presently warmed up to 7.6C [predicted High of 10C], overcast with some wind. There was 15.4mm in the gauge @0900. Nothing happened yesterday due to the rain, which was fine, but that task has been shifted to this early arvo. I did...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.5C and it's presently 13.4C, mostly clear & calm on this the shortest day of this year. And that's about it... I'm all 'caught up' with planned projects around the property. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.8C and it's presently 11.7C, high overcast & calm again. 'Drinks' at the "Easy Tiger" venue went very well and a great turn-out. I had a quite tasty Hot Gin Punch and was home by 1920. Annnd... I'm banned/permanently deleted again. I don't know why and...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.1C and it's presently 12.4C, high overcast with a wee breeze. A lovely day was had yesterday... especially with "Hollywood Parking" at the PO and the grocery store! Later in the early evening I decided to open a new Facebook account. That was...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.7C and it's presently warmed up to 9.4C [heading to 13C], clear & somewhat calm. Beautiful Winter weather. It's 'into town' day for a PO visit followed by 5% Senior Discount groceries. That's about it, take care all.

Well. That is a conundrum. Did you try '... ...'?

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a frosty -0.6C and it's presently 'warmed up' to -0.3C :D [predicted High of 15C]. It's clear and calm with the sun just coming over the tree line. Synod went fine yesterday. I'm glad that I left a wee bit early as it was very foggy through most of the...

Good very early (Saturday) morning. It's 0420 so still the 'overnight' Low of 0.2C. I'm off to Launceston in about a half hour for the Synod, which is predicted to end by 1700. It'll then be a two hour drive home. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.2C and it's presently 8.9C, clear & calm. I did get to chain-harrow Paddock #2, yesterday... which was the only 'excitement' had. Nothing planned for today. I'll be heading off to bed early IOT get up early Saturday for a trip into Launceston for a...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.3C and it's presently 10.5C, clear & calm. A very productive yesterday; all tasks accomplished 'in town' and Paddock #3 prep & transfer in the arvo. Evening was interesting <sarcasm> as I was commenting a Facebook suggested (THEY, Fb, put it there)...

Which is being reported here as it's the first occasion for this full moon in 19 years... confusing though as this is the opposite season for strawberries to be in 'season' for me. :)

Good (Wednesday) morning. I don't see a Spam Post so it must've been taken care of and this one will show as #207695. :) Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently 12.6C, clear & calm. There was 2.3mm in the gauge @ 0900... the rain event [Sat-Tue] is over. It's 'into town' day for...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low was a chilly -2.1C and it's presently 10.5C, clear & calm. A steady day, yesterday. The parcel at the PO was indeed the spare chimney flue 'cowls' (or caps)... a bit bulky packaging, but light in weight. Grocery shopping was straight forward, however I...

I've just had a visit from a bloke who has been treating the 'mangy' wombat. He says that he's been doing it since I reported the poor critter. I had no idea and was even planning on calling the 'rescue' organisation again. Anyway, she (yes, confirmed as a female) is on the 'road to recovery'.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 13.2C and it's presently 17.2C, calm with a high overcast. Yes, indeed, there was one more sign site. I 'sort of' knew about it, but went out with my tools to take them down. Prior to that, I found that the only place that could possibly sell a...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.9C and it's presently dipped down to 7.2C [it's those early Autumn mornings][[heading to 18C]], clear & calm. Not much to report from the pre-polling yesterday. Busy, then tapered off in the late arvo. I spent too long on my feet as my left leg cramped...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.9C and it's presently dipped down to 14.6C [heading to 20C], mostly cloudy & calm. Yesterday, after the 1100 ANZAC Day wreath laying ceremony, it was home for a wee bit of lunch. I then loaded up the ute with all of election stuff/signage. This was...

Honestly, it's a 'grubby move'... unfortunately, to answer your question, (and NOT to get political) I need to explain some of the Westminster system of government. We (and those who follow this 'system') don't actually have a set 'permanent' election date [such as the first Tuesday of November...

I would recommend the metal box. It's more robust and will handle not only the vibrations but the UV rays, both of which will cause more deterioration in a plastic one. Incorporating a layer of foam neoprene (easily scavenged/cut from a 'stubbie holder'/'koozie') between the box & the mounting...

Firstly, condolences to you, Ken, for your loss. Thank you for sharing your 'journey' with us... it's what we're here for. Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.1C and it's presently 21.8C, clear & calm. I did get up to a couple of things yesterday, including a survey of my trees to see...

Strangely enough, I quit smoking about 4 weeks ago... but I smoked a pipe. The problem with the leeches is that they're painless. I only notice them when they drop-off and I start bleeding profusely. If I were to find one I'd go with the salt treatment. It's been so dry here that they were...
