In some Australian states the youth violence is out of control with fights, gang knife and machete big fights in shopping centres with terrified shoppers, home invasions, killings, machetes now banned, robberies of victims in broad daylight, mindless violence, ... Because of that "Adult...

No, it happened with high tyre pressure on a sloping gravel road, what we in West Australia call "ball bearing gravel". My Honda mechanic suggested I run both my tyres 4 psi higher than recommended. He said it'd give me a quicker response handling. He didn't say my tyre grip would be lessened...

I reckon the Baseball ball is bigger than a cricket ball to make it easier for the Yanks to hit it! 😆 I've got a set of Booce balls and they're a bit smaller than the 107mm one in the diagram. Mine have a diameter of 90mm. They're still bigger than a cricket ball. The little white one is the...

I just found a good tyre pump on line Thomas in a local auto shop. $65 only. Features: Small space, big tyre inflation power Perfect glove box size Built in LED light assists at night & improves safety All hoses, leads & accessories are conveniently store in two sealable compartments Connects...

As I type I'm watching a lovely story about "Muster Dogs" in Australia, ABC free streaming. I love dogs like you Craig and Thomas. It's about breeding them, training them, and using them so effectively with mustering sheep and cattle. When they get old they get to live out their retirement as...

That's a good tool to have Thomas. I have a good manual tire pump which is fine for my push bicycle but hard to pump up my car or motorcycle's tyres. The air pumps at petrol stations are often of poor quality so I might check out an auto shop to get similar to yours.

Hi Thomas, What sort of compressor of what with a rechargeable battery is that! I'm just curious. I have a Karcher water compressor with power cord and hose. That's good for outdoor cleaning. Even my car with a wider and softer spray for the duco's sake. Great for wheel trim and stained pavers...

I had a Geeks2U IT wizard come over today to give my devices free software for various programs and apps on my 3 devices. And sorting out some glitches. I'd printed out a list of my needs which he followed frequently suggesting the best option for each device, showing me them and putting in...

My old Dad had his hip smashed in WWII in a Sub in the North Atlantic. Penicillin not available being reserved for D day. As he grew old his injury worsened to the point where he became wheel chair bound. Spine collaping and basically crippled. Taking him out was a real chore for me lifting him...

We're about to have a 38C day on Monday the first day of Summer. That's be a record not seen before. Even though I prefer warm to hot weather it still takes me a while to acclimatise to our increasingly very hot summers in WA. I confess to being annoyed by Global Warming deniers, and anti...

I'd normally buy Australian Craig but my 'go to' Good Guys didn't carry those brands you mentioned. All my friends have Fujitsu air conditioners which I favoured and a few months ago the Jujitsu and Panasonic 7.1 Kw brands were $2000 each but last week the Fujitsu one's price increased to $2300...

Minus 6C and frost! Bbrrr! 🥶 Stay warm Thomas, I remember freezing days like that from Northern Ireland in the sixties. I hate the cold now I'm acclimatised to Aussie hot summers. Western Australia is predicted to have a very hot Summer. The other extreme, which is why I've just bought a...

The pattern of such conflicts would seem to be volunteers initially and then conscription with penalties. Australia had conscription with the deeply unpopular Vietnam war. Young Germans having the option to work in community caring seems a good and intelligent option rather than doing Military...

Looks like Trump and Putin have worked out Ukraine's surrender plan without Zelensky. Giving up all their captured lands to Russia, and more which are currently held by Ukrainian forces, to halve their Military forces and promise not to join Nato.... blah blah blah blah... Trump wants rid of...

That's unexpected Craig, sorry to hear it.
