I used the tractor I'm restoring now to excavate soil and lay the water pipes and the Underground Power.. . Nev

I don't think it's a weekender. My house was finished from Go to Woe in NINE weeks in 1973. It CAN be done. No prefabbing or gang nailed trusses. Brick venerial. with a chimney. Nev

Shocking. Is nothing sacred? You won't even be able to hear them come and go and they will never have the bonnet up. Nev

There were some rather severe dust storms at those times too. The dust went all the way to New Zealand.. We have Bugger all topsoil or soil Carbon. Nev

Never followed any Football or AFL team. Lived in Vic since 1965. Wasn't always easy though, not barracking for anyone. . Nev

Yeah. You can't trust those Bikies. Lock up your grandmothers when THEY come to town. I've Never been able to afford Leathers. Are they any good against Timber trucks? Nev

I don't reckon Broome is what it used to be. It's nearly always warm though, Big tidal effect. Isn't accommodation at a premium? Good luck anyhow. Nev

You could greatly lighten the Average Genset IF you wanted to. Nev

Los Angeles Dodgers. Nev

I think THAT has been done. A trailer set up would be OK too. "Have them for HIRE in suitable places? IMHO the concept of electric with engine back up is sound. It's proven in desert racing but in more ordinary work the engine could be relatively small. Nev

It's impossible to compete with Marty. Nev

Get over it red. The People Voted. There's technical reasons why there's delays. Nev

The UK Pound is amazingly High so you get a very god deal at the Moment. Yeah UK was always more expensive than France, especially after your Local friend negotiated L'Addition down by significant amount. Tolls and Essence was trop Chere. I don't mind France. Nev

With electric there will be no more fighting over Oil resources. No tankers on the road or rail. Blockades won't work and you are more free of Cartels over charging you. It's mostly ALL good. . Nev

Storing stuff in Containers can ruin the stuff you store, quicktime.. Best is sealed and Moisture Proofed and away from Light. Dust always has chemicals in it. Higher up in a shed is dryer and warmer. Protective stable wax can help. . Nev

Australia Has the Most species to start with. Many are delicate, depend on other life forms and can't adapt to change of circumstances Australia by and Large is light on for water and in many places extremely HOT. Domestic CATS are bad news for many Birds as well as other Migrated species, and diseases.. Nev

Crude oil has about 7%SULPHUR in it. It's also used to make Plastics, The sulphur when oxidised makes a strong acid with Moisture. Nev

Swappable Batteries seems intuitive but I don't think it is that simple, comparison with a drill etc is not valid as batteries get swapped all the time and being expensive are often less in number that the gadgets you have. Inbuild is lighter and the sophistication of the Monitoring can be much better, Batteries can Last a very Long time these days Swapping introduces a CARE factor too. Nev

Parting kiss? Nev

I've NEVER taken El Cheapo Holidays (or something) in Europe Jerry and the More Preparation and research the better the Experience will be for you. I try to mix with the Locals (and keep away from the tourists Hot spots) and boozy People. I don't expect thick Overcooked steaks either. I sample the Local Fare as it's done "their" way.. Europe is generally NOT CHEAP. Nor should we expect it to be. Letting them know you are not English helps too. An Australian Accent is very strong. We are pretty LAZY with our pronunciation generally.. Nev

Gorgeous GINA is Notorious for her opposition to anything reducing her income. She's "worth" 37billion but wants much more. Donates to the Liberal Party and the IPA (Fully tax deductible). Gives $62,000 the Banarnaby Joyce for Pocket money OR WHATEVER. Nev

EVERYONE in the system benefits from people putting more Solar, Wind and Battery storage into play no matter who does it. Its a great initiative, only opposed by those with Coal, Gas and Oil Interests. Nev

Leather is not used for the Best car seats. In the USA Leather is Plentiful because of the Hamburgers and steak consumption. Nev

Cathedrals, Too many People, Toll roads, Old Bricks and dog$#it. The best reason to travel is that it makes you appreciate what we have HERE.. We expect Schools to do Everything. We are All a bit soft and too reliant on others and don't want to Pay tax to support those expectations. Whinging is easy. Self reliance and a bit of REAL is needed. LAW and Economics. The LAW is an ASS and is so expensive as to be beyond the reach of ordinary Mortals and Economics a CON for Robbers and Grifters. The stock market is Manipulated and runs on GREED and FEAR. Accountants ruin GOOD companies by cutting cost and research and conditions for Workers. BANKs Predate on their Customers as is frequently exposed. Free Enterprise forms monopolies when it can some equity Companies with more Power than Governments. Anti trust Laws in the USA are only a memory. Crime Pays and it's the white collar crime that flourishes rarely Punished. Recessions and inflation takes Money from poor people For the RICH Tax is Optional. It's ALL stacked unless you are Part of the Corruption. Ethics is a hindrance to the Money Makers/TAKERS. Not a subject Brought up at Board Meetings where the CEO'S salaries are in the tens of Millions or Billions in the case of people like Bin Salman or Musk and Putin who does it covertly with bad things happening to his opponents Nev.
