Some more pics This evening on the way home I was pulling up to stop at a traffic light. I saw a Tesla car on the right and a new Tesla Cybertruck on the right. Twin Teslas :cool: I pulled up behind the truck. I had a good look at the truck. The panels are all flat stainless steel, but...

I finally managed to get back in the workshop. The new workbench has been professionally designed in Sketchup... And I even calculated a cut-list All of the wood for the frame is from construction grade 2 x 6 lumber. I planed the flat sides down though, and ripped off the rounded edges of...

I just never seem to be able to get my own stuff in the workshop done. Last weekend I spent the entire Saturday and some of Sunday repairing a neighbour's fence after the hurricane. I'm really getting too old for this manual labor stuff though, it just about killed me. Yesterday I finally...

I love the way that you describe SA, differentiating between country and politics. That is exactly how I feel about SA as well. Not a single day goes by that I don't think back to somewhere, someone, and I usually smile, or sometimes shed a tear. If things were different, I would absolutely...

Same here in Florida.

I remember that ride out to Bronkies, it was epic! I also remember the trip down to Waterval Onder with a whole bunch of Wild dogs, that was amazing! I'm so happy that everything has turned out so well for you Derek! You have a stunning home, and the peace, serenity and tranquility that one...

Hannes, that flex line is very bad for water flow. It will also clog up very fast as the scrap gets caught in the circulations. Try find a flex line that is bigger diameter and smooth inside.

7pm Friday night. I just got back from the gas station where I had to search for one that still had gas available. Most have run out. I got 4 x 5 gallon cans filled for the genny. I had to settle for regular ethanol gas as well. Arriving back home I saw 4 power company trucks heading down our...

It's now 5:45 pm. 10/10/24. The power is still out, but the lady across the street did get hers back at about 2pm, so we remain hopeful. The cable TV and internet came back on line around noon, so we are at least able to stay in contact and watch the news updates. The storm has now completely...

There were a lot of tornados last night. A lot of devastation. Some came pretty close to us, less than a mile. But we were spared thankfully. I made coffee using the emergency gas cooker. I hauled out the genny and fired it up, started first pull! It pays to use the ethanol free fuel...

Its 4:30. Power is still out, I'm not expecting it back until the storm is over. Made instant coffee using the emergency little camping gas cooker :cool: Wind is still howling, but rain has stopped for now. I'll take the genny out when it gets light around 7 am and fire it up. Will be great if...

It's almost 10:30pm and I'm done. Work has been hectic and I can't stay awake any more. Landfall has been made, and it's heading this way. But it's also weakening as it comes. There has already been some bad flooding a couple of k's away from us, the authorities had to assist to evacuate...

For those that love a good police chase, here is a youtube channel that shows chases from our local Florida Highway Patrol. These guys take no shit, if you try to run, or just plain don't stop when they try to pull you over, they WILL PIT you and destroy your car. And in the USA, fleeing from...

I got home a few minutes ago. I immediately got to work putting up the last of the hurricane shutters and pulling the trash cans inside. A couple of other last minutes preps. Now I am sitting with a run&coke to settle the nerves. We can hear a big thunderstorm directly south of us, and we...

Yes, should drop quite a lot by the time it hits. But the drop in the winds won't affect the storm surge, that IS going to happen, regardless. It's just the exact spot and direction that it actually hits that will determine the extent of the flooding and how far inland it pushes. It will also...

Ok, y'all need to stop worrying about us. Seriously. I have spent a lot of the day studying several weather sites and figured it out. We are going to be fine. The path of the hurricane will be directly over us, we may even get to see the eye as it passes. If it does, I'll certainly try get a...

No luck contacting the contractor. Phones just ring to voicemail, and messages don't get replied to. Oh well... This hurricane has got the authorities in a spin. It went from a cat 1 to a Cat 5 within just a few hours, and they say that IF they had a Cat 6 then it would also hit that. Right...

Ek het vanoggend die klien kak geloer. Maar besluit as ek hom bliksem kla hulle my aan vir dieremishandeling, die fokken maergat klein snotpoes.
