Pre-ordered a Motec ecu for my Stinger... no plug and play peek a boo nonsense just tear my warranty up right in their face as a BIG phuck yoooooo for mucking me around these past several months and acting dumb when i asked legitimate questions about why this thing behaves the way it does.

Problem solved, all factory perks remain and i will be self tuning on the fly in real time.

Maybe i might even make it back out to the track ?

I want to buy wifey an EV6 GT but i wont be going thru this mob again...

My brothers cooktop crapped its dacks a few days back so he was using one of the camping gas burners that uses the butane cans. Anyhow, i was heading over to his and he asked me if in my travels i could swing through boonings for gas cans. So i dones that, 4 cans $6 whatever. But me being me, the only portable plug in hotplate in stock was an inductance one. So i bought that for him. The only 2 things i know about inductance cookers is. 1. They exist. 2. They only work with certain pots and pans.
So anyhow, i gave my brother the inductance thingy with the disclaimer i have the receipt.
Turns out his pots and pans are fancy ones.
So he chucks some onion in the pan then turns the thing on, washes his hands and in that short amount of time the onions were burning.
So a little bit of learning needs to happen, but im impressed on how fast inductance heats up.

Yep picture angle. Unfortunately this is that job. Gates were made from Blackbutt.

There was a slight lull in the proceeding as the client passed away the day after I started after waiting a year !
He never got to see his finished entranceway thanks to all the fools who stuffed it up for him (and me)

Oh damn that is sad, obviously I couldn’t tell the diff it was THAT job for it looks entirely different and very very nice front entrance.
Pity he never saw it - somehow a shrine for the fam possibly or a constant reminder that might be good or not.

Blackbutt, nothing like our eucalypt’s.

Phone advice solving a “no start” problem. Better than driving out to a job only to find the owner had a no-crank condition because it was left in D.

The pointy-arsed terrorists, just doing their thing. Air smells faintly of honey around them.

Hives were absolutely quiet last night, not even any scouts around the entrances. I had a mental picture of the bees all jammed up inside, like new pups.

Not at the moment. I’m in the “be careful and watch” area, by about 15km - maybe less. Would be gutted to lose them, of about 300K critters there are only ever a few dozen who like to get stuck in.

Southampton have been relegated from the EPL! All went to faeces when Serbian Dragan Solak purchased the club.
