Evening folks,
A busy day with no pictures to break up the text.
We started off with a walk instead of the usual dive into the computers. The area is quite flat with large blocks and not many roads. It was a pleasant 5km's in the morning sun.
After breakfast Susan and Misato headed out to do the shopping. Fuel for the machinery, a replacement power pack for the power tool batteries, groceries, a whole rump etc. Doesn't sound like much but there was a bit of mucking around and a trip to Yamba.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I trimmed the rest of the hay wall with the brushcutter. Then with the imminent arrival of a tenant for the caravan out the back I had to put on the gas bottle and check it for leaks. There were no leaks and no gas flow either. After a lot of mucking around it turned out the regulator was full of dirt probably from a wasp nest. Flow restored and leaks tested for it was pronounced good to go.
I then turned my attention to the post hole digger. Clean mud and algae out of the fuel tank, dig some mud from the filter and replace it with a towel scrap held on by cable ties, repair the fuel cap with araldite, mixup some fresh 2 stroke throwing away the resident 2 stroke oil that looks suspiciously like engine oil adjust the mixture and it runs perfectly. Oh and reglue the fuel filler cap.
The final job was a clean up and doubling the cable up on the power supply to suit both power tool battery chargers.
Susan in the meantime has started on resurrecting the worm farms. She also recoated the window frames and did some cleaning of the caravan.
A busy day as I said.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
