    I went to the workers memorial service this morning. They have the age and occupation of those killed in a workplace incident. This year their ages were from 17 to 94. The 17 year old who was a month into his apprenticeship fell 3.8 meters down a shaft. The two in their 90's were walking passed...

    My wife is one of those don't care people, sort of.. Yes she loves the ve, tolerates the ute and won't drive the vh. However she would be just as happy driving a corolla or any car for that matter. As long as it gets her from point a to point b with no fuss then she is happy.

    One of the big advantages of EV's is that they will reduce our dependancy on overseas oil. The conflict in the Middle East is an example of how we are held to ransom by such events.

    I have 3 v8's and have owned v8's for the last 30 odd years. I would not buy an EV not because I don't like them but because I don't do the mileage to warrant buying one. My total petrol bill for a month would be lucky to exceed $80. I do believe that the way of the future is EV's. They are...

    Likewise I lost 11 kg when I had a kidney removed. They took 2 kg of fat from around where the kidney was. When I asked here my doctor about the rest of the weight loss she said it was due to shock. Of the 11 kg I have put back on about 4 kg. I assume I haven't put the other 7 kg back on because...

    WAR is getting Close.

    If world 3 is fought with nuclear weapons then world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones. Einstein.Even the not so bright leaders of the world realise that. I however believe that if Israel sees it's existence under threat then it might drop the odd one or two.

    We took our darling wee (not so wee) girl to the vet today for her annual checkup and vacinations.

    We had our covid and flu booster shots yesterday. Both of us are feeling a bit off colour today. My temperature has fluctuated today from a low of 36.9 to 38.1. Wife is feeling a bit worse though from what I have read this is quite normal and can last a few days. Come on a few days.

Going to my destination and on the way back I overtook 3 cars at a time (they were nana driving). I had to get up to about 101 kph overtaking them. I think it was safe but others might not. I...

    My turn. Most of what I have done has been done for many years. The efi motor was fitted in about 1999. Not sure when the stroker motor was fitted but would have been at least 10 years ago. The engine had the rear pontiac seal done about 2-3 years ago. The 2'02 inlet valves were fitted about...

    We haven't eaten fast foods for years but when we did it was only KFC. The smell used to get me when I walked past. However to often it was greasy and we gave it to the dogs (minus bones). They didn't seem to mind. Their coleslaw and potato salad was always good.

    EV cars.

    I don't know if it has changed but if someone changed the engine from petrol to diesel and forgot to tell them then they would have the diesel tax for the entire mileage not from when they put the motor in. People like farmers didn't have to pay diesel tax for their farm machinery.

    You have generally been cheaper than us any time petrol prices have been mentioned. Our price around here is $1.98 for 91. Admittedly we are approaching the low end of the cycle. Costco is slowly going up, $2.10 for 98. I have never understood this cycle thing. I know of no other business that...
