That would be funny to see, but in this case it's rated to 750kg, and can handle to 1000kg, so no problems at all, in fact I've carried heavier loads.

Well I'm supposed to be taking two days a week off to get leave balances down (a company wide directive). For the first time I managed that last weekend .... One of my old cars developed a heavy knock that went away when the clutch was pushed in last year. It sounded like whatever numpty had fitted the flywheel (or clutch) had forgotten to use loctite on the bolts .... I'm thinking a days work to whip the gearbox out and tighten/fix clutch/flywheel.



Simple right ......















Also me, two days later.

See, everything is always simple for me ....

So, here's what I've been doing recently to keep busy during the lockdown:

1. Dig a big hole.
2. Hire a crane to lift an old water tank over the house to be relocated behind the shed.
3. Get crane to lift new larger water tank over the house (I have videos, but they are too large for the forum).
4. Install new water tank and have plumber connect both new and old tanks.
5. Shovel dirt back to fill in around new water tank.
6. Sit on verandah and contemplate a job well done, while waiting for rain to fill our new combined total of four tanks totalling 47,000 litres.

That is much more interesting than me fixing my Alarm System.

On Saturday,i had a tedious day in front of the fire,in the lounge,reloading 100 rounds of .243,with the help of one of my brothers.

It was the warmest room in the house,moved the dining table into the lounge,to accomodate all the gear.

Ran them all through the old worn out Sako,and my relatively newish Howa,all good,no issues with any of them.
