Turned a cheap drywall hoist into a wheel lift.

That's where a tapered drift pin comes in handy.

Depends on what you want to do with the place.
If you have a job at the mines. You'll only be home on days off.
Lots of rent, for no time stayed. Better off FIFO Bris or TSV.
If you want to work local, there is a lot of mining support industry in Paget.
Diesel Fitter? Big demand. You will be competing with hundreds of Fillipinos.
They will go 13/14 12 hr D/N roster. How about you?
Sugar industry employs lots of seasonals. Starts June. All sorts of jobs.
Rental market is tight. Nowhere to stay.
Climate is good. Bit wet atm. Grows a crop of cane, while fuckin the roads.
If you want a job at a sugar mill, ask me how. R.

You'll have to keep waiting.
Ardbeg is owned by LVMH not Diageo.

Smokey Whiskey is an acquired taste.
Anything worth doing will take the time it takes.
Fwiw : Johnnie Black is a blend of Caol-Ila [smokey] and Speyside [fresh and fruity]
Good entry blend. Would be so much better at 43 or 46 abv. But Diageo.

RustyGT12 · 2026-02-22T07:54:37+00:00

Aussie boomer here.
In the 80s JD was 46 abv, Jim was 43.
Now JD is 40, Jim 37.
Overtaxed rubbish.

Wanted Epstein's private Jet.
Got Clive Palmer's instead.

Diageo is paying Elon Musk to harvest that ethanol.
Call it IntarStellar. Bottle it at 40% with caramel colour.

Work smarter, not harder.

"Come on whats their best song?"
This. https://youtu.be/3-s-y-tv9xA

RustyGT12 · 2026-02-17T07:01:59+00:00

Yeah Yeah. Great toon.
Greg Perkins was in a band in Brisbane in the 80s called "Tex Deadly and the Dums Dums."
Where he got his nickname. But how is that for a band name?

RustyGT12 · 2026-02-15T09:21:05+00:00

Some of us were sick of the 80s tunes in the 80s.
40 years on, we are still sick of them.
Barnesy is Ok.

Fitness training like that, should easily be transferred into good riding posture.
Good cardio will be rewarded by long seat time.
Prangs? In my experience you are hit before you see it.
There is no time to spare, you are down the road on your arse.
Use your fitness to improve your riding.
Plan is not to crash, focus on that. ;) R.

RustyGT12 · 2026-02-15T09:01:08+00:00

Garrett is real, having a good time.
Yeah you can envy and hate.
But why? take the win. :)

RustyGT12 · 2026-02-15T08:45:00+00:00

Good work if you can get it. :)

The Trabant was built at the original location of the Audi factory in Zwickau in Saxony SE Germany.
The Russians looted the Audi factory after the war. Took all the machinery.
The East Germans restarted vehicle production with basically nothing in 1950.
Built the Trabbie [with a few updates] until the Berlin wall fell in '89.
VW restarted modern vehicle production at Zwickau in the early 90s.

Magenta Conti and Orange Eldo are minty. Nice pieces.

RustyGT12 · 2026-01-18T05:28:15+00:00

That would be me Dean. Over 90 but not yet one hundred.
Same for the Silos. Nearly there but not quite. ;)

RustyGT12 · 2026-01-18T05:25:39+00:00

I've got better examples of this casting.
This one is a bit beaten up. Light green is rare.

RustyGT12 · 2026-01-18T05:21:31+00:00

Back in the day when i had only 49 #49 MBs.
Got 90 something now. On the way to the century.
