Saturday morning I got up early, put on my warm fishing gear, dressing quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.

Well, Christmas is fast approaching and with it the season of good will. I witnessed some of that good will yesterday at the local shopping town. The car park was extremely full and as I was in the company of the BIG Boss I was told to follow anyone heading to their car. I followed a lovely young lady, didn'...

To all you Sth Aussies, take care in the heat and the wind. It's never you who lights the fire which burns property to the ground. Just watch the Jiffy Firelighters @ 60kph. Bushfires are hellish. I'm thinking of you all. Take care and stay cool.

Basil's post on another thread reminded me of something that I thought about a long time ago but never got around to trying. An idea of a wind generator that could maybe work when we have the overcast days and no solar panels working. I'm playing with a 12v alternator (as it already has regulator etc. bu...
