I opened the shed door, which hadn't been opened in about 2 weeks, and the heat nearly knocked me on me bum. Thought I'd restock the fridge, as Coke was running low. I dropped a can from about 500mm high, it hit the bottom edge of the fridge cabinet, and exploded. Warm Coke shot about 2M across the floor, and into the bottom of the fridge. Never had a can do that before, but it was about 50deg in the shed at the time.
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan.

Today I continued to move things out(beds, pianola, clothes and so on) and into our newly renovated house, because we were going to be living the shed, we had it insulated, so with a recent heat wave(29c ;D ) it was a cool 20c inside, I'm gunna love this shed :cup:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fool

Made a couple more recovery hooks today for some mates, this brings us to about 12 I've made now.  It's a bit of work, grinding, cutting and welding etc, but it keeps me out of trouble for awhile  ;D

Helped the daughter move some more stuff out and screwed the supports in for the new bench, can't do a lot at the moment as I tripped over Thursday morning and broke some ribs, going in for Xrays on Monday, Think I may have done some damage this time, I'm hoping for the best, but I'm not as young as I was the last time I did them ???

Decided to change a couple of things.
I had a 220W house panel hinged on the roof basket. I've got a few of these, which I have accumulated over the last couple of years.
They weigh about 16kg, so in trying to cut on weight, the 80 series has put on a little in the last couple of years.
I acquired 4x RV panels, they are 170W, and only weigh 9kg.
So I installed 1 on the basket(hinged, so I still have storage), and a second as a wind deflector.
I now have 340W of solar, :)
Took the old girl for run, very quiet, no wind noise.
Parked it in the sun for most of the day, a little cloud about, battery at 98%, fridge and the freezer working great. :)

While I was in the mood to be doing stuff, I installed a rotating flashing light on my Remote control mower.

Contemplating getting a portable, rechargeable one for the I-Mu, working on the concept that a flashing yellow light is more visible to oncoming traffic ???
