Hi been lurking for a while and joined to answer a topic on solar blankets. My post disappeared when I posted it but now I can't find the topic. And when I search solar it says it can't find anything. Is this because I am using my phone perhaps ? Thanks Stew

I joined here, hell, years ago. I sold my business and went traveling. Purchased a coaster, fitted it out. I found the travel very unexciting. I have traveled a lot in my life, so needed a purpose. So I joined Aussie Helpers and things changed. No longer wandering, stopping, meeting locals and doing so...
