    What does your day look like?

    We put our eucalyptus leaf fall (we don't have any deciduous trees) into either rounds made of fence netting or a one of a few dedicated compost bays. After a year and some occasional turning... excellent soil improver and not so much potential fire carrying leaf litter.

    Don't waste them!! Turn it all into 'leaf mould' - awesome for the garden!

    You laugh you lose

    But when we can do it so convincingly, day after day, whose going to call our bluff?

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    I was allowing for the ten second track stand at the top whilst thinking about how badly the next twenty seconds was going to go.

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    Whatever you can get locally from the usual players. That way if it bricks you can dump it on their counter and ask for another one. Personally, we just use a 100 Ah deep cycle RV battery in a home made battery box and a fold out Dometic solar I got a decade ago from the 4x4 shop near Autobarn...

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    I remember some serious thinking we made (for about ten minutes) about a gravity trail in that area...back in the day. We even dreamed up the name of the first 'trail': Thirty Seconds of Terror. Of course, what killed it was the Forty Minutes of Tedium required to get back to the top of the cliff...

    Hang Onto Your Hats! A general extreme weather thread.

    [ This is how weather forecasting works. Forecasts are not predictions. They are forecasts...in other words, best fucking guesses. 20 years ago, the best fucking guess was "it might rain today". I think I liked that better than what we have today with everyone trying to value add to the BoM...

    Solar... who's clued in?

    We looked at a battery just before the election. And it didn't make sense. Now with the rebates...it still doesn't make sense. If we had an EV, it might make sense...but the battery in the EV might be five times the size of the house battery. And until there's more EVs that can do V2G then I'm...

    NSW...new regs on Eeeebbs

    E-bike. Dead kid. Bicycle with battery? Banned. Pedals don't matter. Brain irrelevant. Actually...I don't see a problem if compliance and enforcement says thou shalt not exceed 25 km/h without pedalling like your life depended on it.

    Shed workbench designs

    Same thing happened to us...so we a simple right angle flashing fitted from the outside, slid behind the sheet and riveted it to the corro. About 50 metres of it was tedious but worth it.

    Confessions from the fuckwits

    I have some very old and somewhat rusty mechanical chain kicking back in the dry dump on some random agricultural equipment...I could use that for practise before going hammer and tongs on the precision gear. Maybe in twenty years when I'm even older and more worn out...😂
