had lunch today with a friend with cook islands heritage. He commented that the place is full of second hand nissan leafs, all a couple of years old sold from japan. since its only a short drive around the whole island the 50km range works fine. Was a day trip down to the southern highlands...

she slogged it out in a single gear to get home. i think shes charged it once since she got the bike and is riding 3-4 hours a week(105 di2). lesson learned.

can i nominate my wife for yesterdays effort? she went out for an afternoon ride, turned on tracking as usual. In the one ride her garmin ran flat, the lights ran flat and Di2 ran flat. i guess the last one is its own reminder to not forget again. as will be the monthly reminders placed on the...

dont think it was anything official and new, the only pic they had was the same one from late last year. more an announcement to announce they will be having an annoucement.

Saw alpine ie renault are expected to unveil a hot hatch ev modelled on the renault 5 turbo in a week. When they stopped the renaul sport brand and labelled the f1 team alpine this was always the goal and should be the start of EVs with their own personality beyond just being electric.

exploring the etymology of household terms can be fun. To avoid scaring the kid when he was small spiders in the house were referred to as arachnids. he caught on but couldnt say the word so we have arkanibnobs. thus a nibnob is a spider.

i think the problem is mostly directives by store - ie chemist warehouse. 1 puffer at a time, 1 pack of gastrostop. Last time i went to another chain they asked for my licence which seems to be a new thing, and i have no issue with. Checking would show i buy a few now and none for months. saying...

restrictions on common medications. Ventolin and gastro stop, not exactly things people abuse but i can only buy one of each at a time. I keep a few stashes around(home, car, gym bag) so its annoying to have to make multiple visits to the chemist. Is there some tiktok trend of deliberately...

not my bike but wife's road bike. bike came tubeless and we topped up the sealant yesterday, and it was leaking around the bead when re-inflated. i guess taking the value core out could make the bead come unseated. so we need to try rapid inflation with c02 to get it to seat again? yes I am an...

scheduling a tradie to come for a quote - be there between 8 and 12. the day before, be there 830-9. still waiting at almost 11. I was going to head to the gym after he'd visited, i could have been and got back by now.

depends a lot on how people are using them. The nrma chargers are 50kw compared to 125 up to 350 for superchargers. That means a larger charge could be well over an hour per car. i only needed to top up from 75% but being that slower last bit it was still longer than i'd want to wait...

took another road trip over the holidays out to canowindra for the balloons. Done many miles before but this was the first trip heading more rural and away from the well sorted supercharger routes. Top up in bathurst no problem, but from there we had to rely on a single NRMA charger which had 2...

Ykygo when you see a Mitsubishi magna with classic car plates in a country town parade. They were a real option when folks my age were getting p plates

Wrc driver Craig Breen killed in testing. He was in career best form.

been looking over upgrading my trusty G27 for a while and the day i ordered load cell pedals, moza wheels and bases went on sale so put in a 2nd order for them whilst waiting for the first. R9 wheel base, CS wheel and SRP pedals. theres a lot of hype over reasonably priced direct drive wheels so...

1pm and its sunny, hasnt rained in a couple of days. I get that the grounds might still be drying out but surely council knows now if they need to stay closed instead of making us wait for 3pm, making plans both ways for footy training to be on or off.

got a notice of amendment on the last tax return. They only paid my refund this week, then sent a variation and now i owe them one cent.

that was the worlds worst multiple choice test. Couldnt find a right answer anywhere so had to eliminate the clearly wrong answers and guess from what was left.

thought a kilt was a bold choice of attire for the occasion
