Guess the cost
cab bolts.jpg
Just for laughs, anyone care to hazard a guess at the cost of these few bolts? They are: 5/16 x 1" bolts G8 x 25 5/16 x 3/4" bolts G8 x 25 5/16 nuts G8 x 30 5/16 spring washers G8 x 60 5/16 flat washers HT x 60 5/16 SS nuts x 20 5/16 SS slot screw x 20 M8 SS spring washer x 20 Here's a little hint, The five little packets cost $1.00 between them. And I have to dock the slot screw bolts for correct length! Price was actually: *@#%@#$%^ OTGT$110AUERBG GTRVRVRFVF#@ I go to Beenleigh tomorrow (>200km away) to pick up the first of two trailer axles I need to put under the chassis for sandblasting. It was about time for a day road trip anyway. A second axle has turned up here in Gympie, and is a freebie. Weather forcast for tonight/tomorrow suggests somewhere between 100 and 200mm of rain. That is approx 8" in foreign measure. Hope they got the prediction wrong! So far tonight......no rain at all.

Tony you are doing a fantastic job on the old girl. I too cannot for the life of me understand why nuts & bolts are so expensive here in Queensland more so if you say 'Galvanised' or 'Stainless'.
Cheers

Even whirlpools in toilets turn the wrong way in Queensland (and the rest of the southern hemisphere).

Southern hemisphere backwards???
Toilets water may circle opposite way, but they still work undeterred!
Don't start me on politics. I fully believe that in decades to come, boy scouts will be singing songs around the campfire about Australia's world class political stupidity. If I delve into this in detail there will surely be comments for moderators to remove!!!! Finally, for the record, we're not screwed up.......we're screwed DOWN thankyou very much  Southern hemisphere, remember! P.S: Regarding my recent sarcastic comment about bureau of meteorology prediction of 100-200mm rainfall. At this location there was 20mm, 45min south they had almost 350mm within several hours. Flash flooding covered the main highway in numerous locations, the township of Pomona had up to 2mt (6ft) of water through some homes and now the water is converging on Mary River, Gympie. One of the two main bridges in Gympie went under water yesterday afternoon, with a peak of approx 16mt expected this morning. That equates to really minor flooding but there is a feeling of 'here we go again'. I would have written deja vu, but don't know how to spell it.

Yes we have distant water views from our place now as water has covered the sports fields just down from us but it is no where near the height of last year when we had waterfront water views
We got 20mm of rain but just south of us got 300mm (1 foot) overnight so this accounts for the moderate flooding
