september rant club

[SteveT]

New harmonic balancer, 5 weeks use, thrashed itself yesterday (at least I was only starting up.....), imported/ made by R.G, made in China, brought from a reputable Jeep part supplier but a piece of crap all the same...%$^$#@...
Replaced with Aussie made (Powerbond), better quality unit though a little more in price but worth the cost...
Damn! got to pay extra labour now....
Then discovered after removal, the damn 6 week old radiator is weeping from about 12 spots, top, bottom, sides, front and back... They better honour their warrenties in the next day or two......... Welcome to September!!

Our only real heating here is a coonara type heater, split redgum is $275 a ton and we burn a ton every three weeks or thereabouts.....

Sunny day today, off to the hills with youngest for company to cut a load of wood, for fathers day, mainly mountain ash. Then home to cut and split and stack it all..... Phew.

2 beers in the shed with a late arvo spam and trash talk session with Flexy, dinner and few glasses of red. I'll be sore tomorrow, probably slightly hung over too.

Edit: ha ha, just noticed when I type red gum the iPad auto corrected it to rectum.... Lol, split rectum.

[Barefoot]

I've got around 4 acres that needs mowing every week once it warms up, and 10 paddocks that need to be kept relatively in order about once every 6 weeks over the warmer months.

Plus boundary fences, around trees and fence posts etc.

Just as well the mower is a v twin and has a stubby holder

For that I would want air conditioning and a full esky !!!!
