Sitting here in wonderment..... how can intelligent Forum creatures such as ourselves descend into the trivia of 'The Now'.... like the twitterati...
- Even more depressing is feeling the urge for adding to the minutae of mortal existance....

-Contemplating my navel, planning (roughly) tomorrow's activities.... watching the Sci-Fi movie 'Oblivian'... then adding a pic to the Funny & Interesting thread...re-reading the answers on the Tool thread, eating some tomato with my tumeric/pepper/salt/cummin/cinnamon spices... letting the dog out, -then back in again (evicting it from the bed!)

[clubagreenie]

Sitting in what will soon be an empty house.

The wife's decided she's leaving with the kids. Selling up and letting me find myself and perhaps become a better husband and father and get over my pasts. It's not unrealistic but was completely out of the blue.

I'm at a loss as I have no family support of my own (cut them off a few years back due to the ongoing issues stemming back to one of the pasts), She's being very fair about it in splitting everything and not expecting anything, fair since I haven't really worked for the last 4 years. I've been the stay at home parent, cook, cleaner, driver etc but now it's really hard to get back into the workforce, especially as I'm not medically fit for my qualified field any longer.

So looking for a way to survive, somewhere to stay for a few weeks only at minimal cost and commitment as as soon as the Disco's back I'm heading off to Tasmania for 4-6 weeks to catch up on some friends and do some travelling and maybe even visiting a few of you all. I've been putting it off as I didn't think it was so cheap to take the car across.

Sorry to drag it down but I needed to tell someone, things are pretty bleak and not looking to get better.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Road trips are very therapeutic,:(
A nice trip away will do you the world of good. A bit of time to think and make some important decisions.

[wrinklearthur]

I am looking at which of my old Four Wheel Drive Action magazines that can be sent over the the Pontville Detention Centre for the Asylum Boys to read in their library.

Might send them all, except the last couple, so then I will know which issues I can add some more to later on, if they enjoy them.

nope, i cant get the damm solder to melt onto the wire

[Debacle]

Have you tinned the wires first ?

[Disco Muppet]

I too am terrible at soldering, having tried it all of 4 or 5 times, had the same problem as Eevo.
Then again, I got the iron and the solder for like $10 so that may have contributed to it :D
I think I got bored and ended up stabbing the roll of solder with the hot iron....:twisted: :angel:
I have a better one now, being taught how to use it properly :)

[Eevo]

Have you tinned the wires first ?

tried to. nothing transfers onto the wire.

[peaty]

Trying to chill before nights tonight.

[sheerluck]

A dab of flux on the end of the wire, then apply the hot iron and the solder to the end of the wire at the same time. Will take only half a second to do.

Go to Bunnings in the plumbing section they will have a tub of paste (I forget the proper name for it, am a bit beer affected atm) or if you have a Blackwoods outlet nearby get some Bakers Soldering Fluid. It is an acid, you just need to dip the wires into this and solder should stick to it.

[jazzaD1]

I'm supposed to be finishing a geologic report about a recent 3 day mapping exercise at Arkaroola, but i'm on AULRO instead!

as for the soldering, keep the tip clean, heat the work and the solder will flow into the joint, its not paint you don't brush it on, but rather the joint reaches the right temp and 'soaks up' the solder

[isuzutoo-eh]

Went for a lap around the block to see if the Series would actually move after it's been sitting on the front lawn for a month or so, she was running very badly so lifted the bonnet, fiddled with the timing and with the improvements ended up turning the 2 minute lap of the block into an hour long sortie around the back streets.

The wild life of a single man with an older car.

[isuzutoo-eh]

If you're still struggling with soldering, need to clean the joints properly, get some emery paper, sand paper, even a nail file to scratch the oxidation off. Then use flux. If you don't have flux, and Yorkshire is the name of the one Debacle was talking about, use a bit of brown vinegar, the heat from the iron will help it work too, and the liquid will allow the heat to transfer quicker.
Soldering is all about cleanliness and heat transfer.

[bell1975]

Rigtht now?

Lying on the floor of my accommodation at work with the laptop...procrastinating by browsing AULRO. I should be drafting up a legal challenge to the (unwelcome) decision I received yesterday to my Appeal to QCOMP over a Workcover claim denial.

Beer is assisting in this process.

[Landy Smurf]

in regards to soldering I got taught to put melt some solder on the soldering iron first just enough so when you join the 2 wires it may make it stick. Also try twisting the wires together so it is not as fiddly.
I always try to keep the soldering iron under the wires.

I used to live on King Island - many moons ago when the mine was still operating. I remember the first day I started working down there in the assay laboratory during the school holidays. As we were next to the first aid post, part of the first day "induction" was to be shown how to drive the Landrover ambulance, and how to get to the various locations around the mine.

All of the underground vehicles were Landrovers back then. They tried Toyotas, but soon got rid of them because they rusted out in a matter of months. The underground was a pretty harsh environment. ;)

Will have to get back there one day for a look - still have a couple of friends living over there.

having three kids, wife and family members you are responsible for, the worries are totally different than when I was single . Add to this that it seems that we are heading to a total chaotic conflict that will last forever and that will drag the entire region.

Sorry, but I can't stand trial by Media. If he is guilty, then the courts will prove it. I've seen innocent people ruined by similar accusations that have later been found innocent, but by then the media don't care and the damage is already done. Not saying he is or isn't, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions based only on what is reported...

I'm off to carry on with gearbox transplant, debating whether to paint surrounding chassis before putting new box in :confused:

[Chucaro]

Innocent till proven guilty mate...

Horrible accusations and horrible crimes but guilty till proven innocent remember....

I agree that they are horrible crimes and I am not going for what the press said, it is not a gossip it is a police report the said that they are serving four charges related to making indecent images of a child between March and July last year.
I do not take into account the other charges related to allegations of sexual assault, they have to be proved in court.

I would like to have a clarification regarding the legal (and not in reference to this case) system, why a person is arrested if is innocent till proved guilty?
Looks to me that in the way that is working the person is guilty until he/she can prove that is innocent which to me is wrong :confused:
What happens if the person do not have a fair chance (good defense) to prove that he/she is not guilty?

[Disco Muppet]

Anyway, what I'm actually doing is listening to Dave Brubeck while sipping a glass of Scotch.

Good choice ;)

Chucaro, You get arrested at the initial time. Based on the offence you either are allowed bail, or if you're deemed to be a threat then you have to remain in police custody.
How you fight the charges is entirely up to you, unfortunately the more you can spend on a lawyer, the more likely you are to get off :(
I'd agree with Gav, doesn't matter what the truth is, but sensationalised crap sells.

[Chucaro]

I'd agree with Gav, doesn't matter what the truth is, but sensationalised crap sells.

So, it will be fair to say that if the offense is regarded serious by the prosecutor and the judge and the person do not have money for the bail he is as close as guilty as he/she can be?
And that if do not have the money for a defense which is as good or better that the prosecutor he/she will be an innocent person in jail?

Is so, forget about "trial by Media" is trial by an unjust system.
Then again I guess that there is not such thing as Court of Justice is a Court of Law :(

[Disco Muppet]

That depends.
The sorts of offences where you get remanded in custody are normally REALLY serious ones, where it appears to be a pretty clear cut case against you, which are normally the ones that attract high profile defence lawyers.
So just because you've been remanded in custody isn't necessarily a guarantee of a conviction, but it certainly doesn't look good.

[clubagreenie]

If you have to question the "Innocent until proven guilty" concept then, well, I really don't know where to go from there. But clearly you've never been on the receiving end of the Australian legal system.

I could list my own experiences, but suffice it to say that the legal system as we know it requires that there be someone to blame for an event. Look at the situation in the case of road accidents. Police prosecution will fight hammer and tong to find someone that's done something in the event that they can point to as causation.

Example. I now have a fraud conviction against my name because when I applied for, and on subsequent renewals of my driving licence I did not tick the box that states that I suffer from blackouts or seizures. Considered that I first applied for a licence at 16, I'm now 40 and have had (according to records) 14 renewals and I did not tick the box on any of them I was charged with 14 counts of the same event. Now the fact that I had never, prior to the accident that I had, never been diagnosed with any condition that would lead me to suspect that I did in fact suffer from blackouts or seizures why would I.

It cost me $80,000 , 5 years, my career & trade (to prove that I didn't know meant proving that I now did have a condition and such a condition made me medically unfit for my trade) and now my marriage. Added to that I was also charged with negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm because despite there being signs on the motorway banning cyclists from being there when I blacked out and ran off the road I hit one. Now his ignorance (now take it I'm not anti cycling, I used to quite successfully race) is in no way contributory. My undiagnosed medical condition was solely the cause.

So there I am sitting at home after the accident and being discharged from hospital when there's a knock at the door and I'm arrested for this and dragged off and formally charged.

So innocent until proven guilty I may have been as I was let out again (26 hours later) without bail but charged and summoned to appear. But, and I quote from the accident investigation squad member (who was after she was finished with my case medically dismissed from the force due to a number of things but suffice it to say she went on a personal vendetta against whoever she was investigating to the point of following them after hours etc), my "reckless disregard for dealing with a medical condition in a common sense manner led to the reckless endangerment of countless lives every day that this criminal (bear in mind I had never been arrested/charged or anything ever previous to this) spent on the road" was the single cause of the accident and despite having my own GP, two teaching professors of neurology, a cardiologist and the RTA's own head of medical standards all say that I had no record, knowledge or previous diagnosis of my condition I was found guilty.

So innocent until proven guilty it may be. But you're as guilty as they want you to be in the end. Sure I could have kept fighting it but at the end of the day where does it end. We did the exercise, of looking at each level of appeals process, to the extent of researching which judge you'd be up against and what their record was against matters of the same nature. In the end no guarantees can be made except this. You'll be broke and the lawyers won't.

As for Rolfy, I'll consider him innocent in the concept of the law but in this case to charge him as they've done then they've found some evidence already and it'll take some pretty hardcore proof to knock it on the head. But as a potential fiddler, well some of us know what happens to them once they're locked up.

[Disco Muppet]

Jeez, that's bloody rough. What a load of ****e. You're a more tolerant man than I am it seems, I'd have burnt the bloody building down.

[clubagreenie]

The only consideration I got was that I only had one charge of fraud, not all 14. Was facing 5-8 years for each. Plus the neg driving.

Ended up with $2000- in fines, 200 hours community service and 2 year good behaviour bond.

Haven't had meaningful work since, not qualified for anything else, been diagnosed as clinically depressed (there's a shock), trying to afford psychologists on centreline and now trying to work out where to live when the house sells in the next month or two. Added to that I've been disco-less for 3 months. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday and at least that'll be over.

[Disco Muppet]

It's funny how we haven't been told about crap like this, but then again Injustice Studies wouldn't attract many students would it.
Even when lecturers put a positive "the system is working" type spin on it, it still sounds like a load of bollocks, and it certainly makes me think about if it's a career path I really want to explore.
Here's hoping when you get the landy back things pick up a bit mate, if you're ever in O town give us a buzz and we can hit a track or two.
Cheers

[Chucaro]

Clubagreenie, I have a painful history about the "Justice" in Oz and as far I am concerned the system is that you are guilty until you have enough money to prove your innocence.
Years ago I was the victim in a case of commercial law, they delivered a summon to me to attend Federal Court and claiming $3500000 damages.
I saw a solicitor and was informed that they have to form a team with barristers and a QC experts in this type of cases.
It cost $500000 in legals to settle out of court. The other party used the shareholders money to bully us, we have to use our own :mad:
If we did not were able to defending ourselves we will be ruined for life.
Having said that the health cost of the 3 years that took the case was very high and no money can pay for that.

[Tombie]

I've been on the receiving end too (hard to imagine).

Mine was even more unique.

Charge was: Assaulting A Family Member.

Problem: I didn't assault the person in question, they tripped (seriously) whilst being chased off my property - after kicking in my security door, the Drivers side panels of my brand new car and a few other bits and bobs during their tirade.

I requested the police attendance and that the individual be charged with property damage
And trespass - even the constable on the phone heard my yell "get off my property".

Whilst there was evidence of wilful damage Police Prosecutors decided it was too hard, so I got nothing.

Then a knock at the door and a piece of paper requesting I attend the Adelaide courthouse.
I attend, and I'm hit with a demand for bail by PPS.
Go figure!

Note: I still haven't even been charged with anything at this point!!!!!

So I talk my way out of bail requirements (had appeared on own recog. Etc) and told I'm due back in court on xx day.

So I lawyer up, fastidiously prepare my defence and then get told, to fight will cost 4 days and around $25-35,000 but I will win.

So I asked, how much to plead guilty? It turned out to be $3000 in lawyers fees, No conviction recorded and a $2000 fine paid to Victims of Crime.

(Oh and a lecture from the magistrate)

Total time in court room that time - 25 min.

Luckily, I walked out - got the last word on the Police Prosecutor (I felt better) and jumping in the already packed car with my new girlfriend (& now wife) and we went for a 2 week holiday on Macleay Island.

Upon my return I found more crap:
A claim from Victims of Crime for me to pay back the $8000.00, YES, $8000 that they paid out to my 'assaulted family member' for scaring caused by me.
A 4" long scar on an elbow.... :(

And a restraining order - claiming I had been out the front of the house verbally intimidating... I'd been in QLD for goodness sake!

Now, I could prove the scar wasn't me, I had old
Photos so that one got quashed... Another lawyer and a few thousand later.

But the bit that's got me... Is the restraining order.

It's 17 years since issue, I've been good ;)
The other party has breached the restraining order twice - and SAPOL are aware of this. I was even sitting in a station waiting for the Sarge, mobile ringing madly when the Sarge gets a call, writes down some detail and then hangs up.

Asks me my name, then proceeds to tell me where I live, etc!!! What the heck!

Turns out at that moment I was 'actually' threatening this person outside their house! And there I was thinking I was in a police station!

But the kicker....

I'm now allowed full access to several properties to shoot and hunt on - something I love doing.
But I cannot renew my firearms licence from years ago
Because - of a bloody 17 yo Restraining order, that will cost me MORE money to request cancellation.
Apparently I have to write to the court, it'll cost a few hundred to lodge etc...

And all over an Assault that:
I still have NEVER been charged with :)

I've checked, no charges...


So yes, I've had a bad run - not as bad as the members above for sure....

However, it's not a bad system - it tries its best.

The Law itself isn't the problem - it's those who are there to *judge* and lawyers...

Judges are often too soft or too prejudice and don't 'judge'.

And Lawyers.... Sure they've helped me out...
And sorry to any on here :)

But what a bunch of bottom feeding parasitic leeches on the misery and suffering of others! Most legal advice is so 'safe' as the lawyers themselves don't wish to become liable and the charges are ****ing appalling.

Next time I pay $150.00 for a letter to be written it better be on gold leaf paper and written in Unicorn blood :lol:

And $80.00 to read something? Seriously, my studies of Penthouse and playboy would be worth hundreds of thousands....

Ahhh, that feels better! I'm now going down the Man Cave to hit something for 30 minutes :D

[Chucaro]

Tombie, I can see that you do not have one bit of Latin blood in your system and for sure the caffeine levels were very low back then :D
Now, can you expand a bit more and tell us what made the looser "loose balance" in his way out, wast just a cower escape or a knuckles sandwich coming in his way? :D

[Tombie]

If the individual had been male I would have knuckled them, alas, it was the ex-wife - hence no thumping...

Never hit a woman and never bloody will.

She really did just trip running down the driveway, and anyone with half a brain could see that, except the 2 members in the patrol took the immediate Big bloke, screaming woman approach and I was tagged as the instigator.

I'm sure they see some terrible domestic violence, but prior to leaving my first wife, the DV was all targeted at me. I've been hit by: baseball bat, frypan, broom, fist, kicked etc - even answered the door to SAPOL once, bleeding from the nose and lip and they were surprised to find that "she" did not have a mark on her...
Her screaming tirade had the neighbours ring the cops!

I consider it the mark of a man not to violently lash out at a woman - no matter how they're behaving.

I'm glad I left her and found the woman I'm married to now, we've been married 14 years this month (14th) And I'm happy!

And to lighten this with a true "Tombie" comment...

"There are over 100,000 battered woman in this country - But I still eat mine plain..." :lol:

[Disco Muppet]

However, it's not a bad system - it tries its best.

The Law itself isn't the problem - it's those who are there to *judge* and lawyers...

I come across this a lot in my studies, across various topics ranging from the legal system, policing, politics, etc. Comes down to not a failed system/philosophy/etc but rather the failings of those implementing it.
I'm just lucky I haven't had anything to do with the courts, as I think with the amount of legal bull**** and poncing about that goes on, I'd get quite a few contempt of court citations :p

If is a woman I rather walk out and let her be "eating" by her own bitterness.
Soon or later their own conscience, in silence, will work on their brains.

[Eevo]

I agree you should never hit a woman but in today's society where females think they are equal to males, it's sexist not to hit a female when yo would hit a male in similar circumstances.

Ever since wrinkle Arthur decided to move the cars around

You really gotta move when you hear the horn blow
Or you'll get run over if you move too slow

Crawled under the County with PTO and driveshafts to check fit. Without mounting the winch yet, because its a heavy bugger and don't want to remove my bullbar just for half an hour!
Also had someone rock the car for me whilst I was under it to find where the clunk is coming from, suspected ball joint, as usual, but couldn't guarantee it. Goes in next Tuesday to have all the bushes replaced...
Otherwise the County has been hassle free for a sustained period, even with some pretty nasty four wheel driving in along the way!

[Lionelgee]

G'day All,

I wrote a very long document which had lots of spreadsheet based column graphs which I did in 3D. Turns out the Principal Supervisor does not like 3D column graphs. :( So I have to go through all the related spreadsheet documents - there are a lot of them - find each graph that I put into the Word document the supervisor comments on, and then change all the 3D to 2D. Then I have to copy this out of Excel - find the 3D version in the Word document and replace it with the 2D version. :mad: Nothing but a ship load of Fun happening here this weekend! :censored:

I do have an escape planned for tomorrow afternoon - I am helping Paul (Pop058) shift a Land Rover engine and some other parts. :) I will be able to see how the newly reinforced trailer floor holds up to the lift using my 950 kg ute crane. The first Land Rover engine I lifted up just after a "professional" reinforced the floor was a bit alarming. Especially when the floor buckled during the swivel as the engine was being swung around to manoeuvre it into the trailer :eek:. Cross fingers for tomorrow afternoon. I will be probably mumbling stuff about spreadsheets and column graphs and have a thousand yard stare by then.

PS: I forgot to mention that there is a line of data results in each of the column graphs that the Supervisor does not want either. This means I also have to change the original data in each spreadsheet too! Weeee

Kind Regards
Lionel

Production of the 4.0 ended in 2001. The final version of the engine, used in the Land Rover Discovery, produced 140 kW at 4750 rpm and 340 N·m at 2600 rpm.


As opposed to the Factory TD5 spec of:
135kw @ 4200 rpm and 300Nm at 1950 rpm

Now, A V8 can be chipped for about $450.00 and gains a huge 18bhp (thats about 13kw) and around 30Nm or $34.60 per Kw :eek:

The TD5 base tune is $340.00 and gains 55kw (and around 80Nm of torque) taking it to 190kw and 380Nm (at 1950 rpm) with a flat torque pattern from around 1800rpm to just shy of 4000 rpm

Thats about $6.20 per Kw :cool:


It also sits the TD5 right in the torque band off the line, and holds it there - allowing a much better acceleration curve especially when loaded.


And it still does sub 10l/100km...


The only drinking being done is by the V8 :twisted:

I thought I'd say what I was doing right now.....responding stupidly to that question which is really the only answer you can give RIGHT NOW....so from now on everyone should respond with "responding to your question".........yes?/no?.....

[Landy Smurf]

but you just asked a new question, so shouldnt we be answering that ?

[sheerluck]

Or the question should be "what were you doing immediately prior to answering this question?"

[Disco Muppet]

Right now I'm answering Tony's question...
Did I just break the thread?

[td5inside]

Just sold our house. :cool:

Lucky you bought a caravan first!

[Yorkie]

Lucky you bought a caravan first!

Tbh we should have waited, budget could have been increased. :D
We will have a bit to do in the next six weeks clearing the house but our plans for the next 12 months are on track after today's result. :)

Thinking a BBQ early November likely, except Wayne, his tyres are far to big for my sooky street. :D

[superquag]

Just put my seat back in the Classic... after gloating over my Good Fortune. - Pullled the mirror/memory seat ECU apart to remove the battery.... after 20 years it had to be leaking all over the circuit board... :o

It was'nt. - Clean as a whistle.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

But I ordered one from evilbay, around $23 and should be here in a week or so.

Then I can pull the seat out again....:p

Still chuckling over #3 son. - He came home an hour late, nearly at P plate curfew... Evil Father hiding in darkened house.... scares the living daylights out of said son with "WHEEEERRRREEEEEEhaveYouBeen"....- enough light to see him jump a metre sideways...

A satisfying end to a Good Night. ;-)

Looking at a $2K bill from MR Auto for fixing numerous oil leaks and heaps of other stuff ,pre-sale, and a threat from the council for a potential fine of $1100 for polluting the waterways (thanks, neighbour) and thinking how nice it will be for the new owner to have a 13yo D2 without leaks for a while. :/
A Painful but necessary step towards securing my old RFSV.
At least I have a Perentie to sooth my soul, until it starts overheating again. But that solution is near:).
