Was going to say " snob" but I'm guilty too, I also have a skippers chair, my nice leather computer chair, yes there was a mutiny aboard the good ship SS Slowsnake, lol, and now it's Captain Pussy-cats chair, I even fitted it with decorative white mice and a tiny yellow baby chick in the middle!......

Was just looking at the properties of HDPE using Wikipedia.


Under "Applications" were a few pics of what the material is used for, including bottle crates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene




Random pic - check.

The nomads sent me this picture of Tallinn, having recently decamped from Lake Como.
“Sõõrikukovhik” means “Donut café” in Estonian, probably almost the same in Finnish. [Edit, to note it’s actually very different!]

The white box near the middle is a robotic delivery cart for online orders. How cool would that be?

OSF strut bushing from my Alfa. Was a KYB brand part.
It failed over several years due to misalignment of the strut top and base, the suspension is a double wishbone design and the strut doesn’t swivel. So in time, it self-destructed. This has somewhat compromised the top circlip of the strut (a B6). I’m hopeful it will stay together for a while now.

I wonder if they were both on a car carrier, 2 up and they got loose somehow, I remember driving the back road Leura to Katoomba and passing a "coffin" going the opposite way, went around a bend and on my right was a hearse with the back door open, everything is so steep up there, the hearse had backed out of a nursing home and stopped in the driveway and the coffin must of just slipped out, there was a dude chasing it in top hat and tails, so bloody funny, but accidents happen!.......

Don't blame ya running away and leaving your fishing rod behind!
I ain't see anything like that since I drove through the edge of a Nth Qld cyclone in 1979, on the way to a job on the Atherton Tablelands, a little hot and muggy place called Malanda, the eye of the cyclone was 300 klm off the Qld coast, blew me off the road at Innisfail!

If I was you I would copyright that and put it in one of the numerous photo comps around.

Just write underneath that you own the copyright, put your initials!

Did the dog want to get out when you got there, or just enjoy the aircon

She lives for the park walk, but sat on the cool grass in the shade chewing on her ball.
Snapped one off and then ready to go home.

Driving to my local shopping centre and was behind this Chevy pick up as we pulled in together.
Now this truck looked very familiar so I spoke to the driver, sure enough my brother imported it about 10 years ago. It had a Chevy Malibu front end grafted onto it with a SB 350, guy still hasn't licensed it, just drives it on 2 day permits.
It was a nice truck and drove really well for it's age, still looks cool.
