A new half shaft
A quiet day at Copley today. Took the car down to the garage and the half shaft exchange job was done by midday with the usual efficiency. Let's hope that this is "the" fix. The new slightly larger circlip is shown with the clunky arrow in the picture. Only time on the road with the trailer will be the proof. Susan spent some hours helping out at the bakery and is now producing a spreadsheet for the caravan park, while i wrestled with trying to produce a viewable video of our flight. My task was interupted as Telstra finally got around to posting my internet bill online 9 days after it was due. Of course it was wrong again this month by $20 in their favour. That took about 15 minutes on the phone to fix whereupon i spent 30 mins talking to the sub continent trying to find out why the online data useage has not worked for the past 3 weeks. The bottom line is it's buggared and i don't think Telstra have any idea what my useage and many others has been. My bill only shows connected time with no data measure per previous accounts. A quick visit to the mobile internet discussion forum at www.whirlpool.net confirmed many others in the same boat.
We will spend probably one more day here tidying up a few loose ends before heading up the Strezlecki to Innamincka. Also if some one could turn of the piercing south easterly wind that would be a bonus too! :-)
Tea tonight was at the Leigh Creek Hotel which is in Copley :-) Bargain $10 for a tuna bake with roast vegetables.
......POSTSCRIPT
Yes the old workaholic spirit is still lurking..... Having had a holiday officially longer than any other since 1986 it was actually nice to do some “work” today. Figure that with many a WWOOFing experience to come it might be interesting to try my hand as it were. I enjoyed the work at the bakery cleaning and scrubbing, and of course I always enjoy any opportunity to develop a spreadsheet....tragic really.
