Due to lack of space / access to my 2 lithiums negative poles, can i safely clip onto 1 of my pos poles and clip onto the framework area for a neg connection to engage my 3000w inverter. The 2 leads pos/neg are jumper lead grade ( heavy ) and 1 end of each lead is a heavy duty alligator clamp ( for clamping to bat...

Morning all, yep, can't sleep as mind in running ten to the dozen. I have a Dometic roll out awning that I use a lot. It is my out door living area. Patio you could say.

Went down to the beach at Sunrise to photograph "Sculptures by the Sea". Some better exhibits this year and some that I totally do not understand or the so-called artist is taking the piss. I think this one was part of the exhibition, or someone had a fire in their van. If you are interested there are a...

Not long ago, a merchant found monkeys living near a village. One day he came to the village stating that he wanted to buy monkeys for $100 each. The villagers thought that the man must be crazy. Why would somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each? Still, people caught monkeys and sold them to the Merchant...

Thursday this week I went from south of NSW to Sydney for a medical appointment and returned today friday back home. The wind from around Yass to just south of Narellen was terrible, a skinny person would have been blown off the road if standing on the verge. Not quite as bad today but was amazed us was th...

Great. Except that the drain valves are inside the chassis rails and can...
