Work is done for the day....well works not done but I'm done... How can a heel hurt for days/weeks? No new jobs.... no bids.... I hate telling potential clients no! I guess I will have to just rest.

My right leg is bothering me now. Muscles feel tense very odd feeling. Feels fine while sitting hurts when standing. My job demands me standing and walking. So I kinda know how you feel but I can’t stay home.

It sucks!! I had to call and delay all my upcoming jobs, and hope I can get to them soon...I tell them. Luckily a few of them said they would wait, and I have double pillow insoles in my shoes! A nice return customer told me that if I didn't weigh a metric ton heel might not hurt!

We can't get that brand around here, I looked this morning.

They'd probably ship it if you want -- they have a website here.

Well... Side post battery connection stripped, changed the bolt that didn't help. A few strands of solder might help it tighten up.
I think switching to a top post is the fix. What genius came up with threads in lead?

Hah!! Wrap the battery terminal bolt threads with light copper wire, that problem fixed. Something is draining the battery...so... put a meter on the battery and pull fuses one at a time, current draw should tell me. Cordless multi meter would be nice. Still going to top post when I need a new battery. !*@#!*$**!! side posts!!!!! Viking SMASH!!!

Mornin all.

Went outside with the dogs this morning and something was oddly different. It wasn't still raining.
Even rays of sun. Still!

We are officially in a drought here. Seeing road trains hauling hay feed in all directions. Farmers are laying out feed in the bare paddocks for sheep and cattle. Talking to a lady yesterday, farmers wife, who said they recently had to de-stock some livestock as they couldn't afford to feed them all.
So what does the idiots in charge here do? They ignore how hard they are doing it and impose a new fire tax on their land that will cost them tens of thousands of dollars a year extra in tax.

Recently acquired and read an account of the Charles Sturt expedition searching for an inland sea.
Not this account.

Mystery of an Inland Ocean

An intriguing history can be found within the desert environment of Australia’s Red Centre. Imagine carting a whaleboat more than 3500 kilometres over land in search of a mythical ocean with no roads or maps to guide you.This is exactly what the British explorer, Charles Sturt, attempted almost...
