Quite liked this concert. He's still got it. Can't believe he is 80. 
Seeing Dave's daughter join him on stage was a special treat.

Our Evakool has lasted for many years. At least 15 years from memory.  A damn fine fridge.
Don't really want to get rid of it as it is still showing no signs of needing retirement.
The basket however has now seen better days.

Tried to wire brush the plastic off it so I could paint it, but wasn't real successful. Some just won't come off.

Now considering getting it sandblasted or maybe bead blasted?
Or will that be too extreme?

Anyone got any tips for getting that old plastic coating off?

Have looked around for new baskets and finding a basket the right size is proving difficult

Same here, if only to poke on EVs.

Our Rhinomax Scorpion Hybrid has a composite body.
It's awesome, no more flapping canvass.

G'day ADTradie, I don't know if they are on your radar, but I know several people that have had Vista RV campers for quite a few years, have done heaps of outback travel, and the trailers have handled it all.

The Vistas use a composite panel and I have yet to hear a problem where the panels have given any grief. They are a very strong unit and well built, but not cheap.

Hope you find something.

Agree. must be the weather. I recently had the same thing happen, with a similar timeline since we'd seen each other. We both had ski boats in our younger days & spent a lot of time at Blanchetown. we had plenty to talk about.

The boss and I both got our refunds (bribe money) within a day or so 

Did a heap of stuff.
Painted timbers for Mondays job, replace weather effected timbers on two gables.
Modified an old scissor jack, for the RC Mower. & added a rear angle to the RC Mower to lift the Mower when adjusting the tracks.
And had a beer.

Had a phone call today,
From a bloke I use to hang out with 40 years ago.
3 hours later, It left me thinking, WOW, it was like it was yesterday since we had spoken to each other.
He'd used FB to find me.
For all the knockers of FB, it does have it's good points.
As Maxwell Smart would say.
If only they used it for good and not evil, Chief.

Were they great mates, or exactly the opposite!

I remember many years ago, when getting a lecture on workshop safety with compressed air, we got told to never blast it on your skin, towards your face etc and all the usual warnings. Then at the end of the lecture the instructor told us a story about someone doing the same thing to a bloke as a joke, with a similar outcome. This would have been mid 70s.
