Shanty shop at Nowra

This trailer shop is used as a driver reviver shop to reduce the road toll by serving tea and coffee for free south of Nowra Australia.

Boat length, Just thinking.

The longer the boat the bigger the mooring fees. Why not build a vertical boat with all the amenities say six feet long and five feet wide with four stories below the water A cork if you like designed on the shape of a fishing float. I think there is room for design work here. Just thinking.

Something for nothing

In the late 1950's I watched as Jimmy Mckay removed the head from his Morris minor side valve engine. He then set about and did a valve grind on his beloved little car. These were things that had to be done. Ten years later I was greasing the universals on the drive line of my Holden. Then came a time you had to replace these as there was no grease nipples, so out came the drive line and the universals were repacked. Haven't things changed with cars no grease nipples no repacking as the parts were not able to be dismantled for maintenance. Spark plugs lasted 100,000 so did the leads
The oils have a kilometer rating of 100 thousand kilometers tires much the same.
The roads are better and there is no dust to wear the parts.
Then some idiot comes out with the 10 thousand kilometer rule. Oils must be changed at 10.000 kilometers. Then this morning I went to Bob Jane to speak to them about a new tires and a wheel alignment as they did the last one. Very shortly into the conversation came the 10.000 rule and no warranty. Must be done every 10,000 kilometers costing $44 plus gst. This 10,000 kilometer rule is so these people can make money for doing a bad job in the first place by wearing out your tires.
Going back to the Holden I did the wheel alignment with a tape measure and a square in the driveway at home. The wheel alignment lasted the life of the car the oils lasted 1000,000 kilometers and the car was written off by a drunk driver whom hit it whilst it was parked on a straight suburban street.
These $400.00 service charges are for what, no greasing topping up the windscreen washer water and replacing the plug leads and the plugs.
I wish I could get something for nothing.

Caught in the act throwing out recources at the tip.

It only took an hour after this shot and all the goodies were gone. Who scavenges at night? mmm Who chucks things out at night?

The welded steel framed gypsy wagon

I took the wagon on the street and have connected the light for the number plate to the brake light so this has set me back a bit, more to come in the new year. Have a happy new year. Cheers Iggle
News flash::::::: I was photographed throwing away stuff to the tip late at night under moonlight so no one would see me. Bugger! More on this event to follow.

What's the point

Like most Australians (me included) Americans are too lazy to do anything about 9/11 Come to think isn't that your emergency number for the paramedics to come to save you after your heart attack?

Insurance Fraud

I have paid out for 40 years at today's money $500 per year times 40 equals $20,000. They have paid me to this point for my claim $000.00.  This is a total loss of  say $55,000 flood damage plus the loss of premiums of $20,000. That makes a sub total loss of $75,000 Interest at the say $50 per year is 40 times 50 =2000. Total loss is $77,000 Where as Silverstein made 7 billion gain from the twin towers in a couple of years. Now that's subsidizing the rich!
