Eg we have a Full river AGM 120ah, can we put another in of say 100ah? My husband couldn't lift the 120ah into our boot-too heavy. We had to get the kid next door who g...

In an earlier article I mentioned that inverters were used in other ways, this is where you see a device with a motor in it (example air conditioner, or fridge), and the manufacturer states it is more efficient because it is an inverter air conditioner, what does this mean? I will use an air conditione...

No! I didn't buy a jeep. I bought a mining claim. I move onto the claim today, it's at Sapphire Queensland. Hoping to make my fortune or just having fun trying. Will also be a nice base for the winter months and still travel around. A few of you already know. Time to make it official as of today.

Dougwe passed the 10,000 post mark and earned this title. He joins the very few to get this far. I'm fortunate to be able to catch up with him this weekend. Be interested to view him in his other habitat Terry

Went for my salary review today, the company uses computer based software to establish ones worth. Managed to sneak a copy of the soft ware, you can try it out if you wish.

I asked in a restaurant the other day, "Where is this Barramundi from?" The reply: The other dish is from Taiwan but the dish you are asking about, the fish is from Australia. ($30) Great chips, great Aioli, salad of no consequence, and the fish was not Australian Barra. I wanted to know if y...
