What are YOU doing right NOW

[Solid Luck]

I just pulled out another batch of wax. Might give it one more boil I think.

 

[madtuna]

What do you use to strain out the ear hairs?

Those fine mesh paint strainer thingys. This batch was from a hive I lost.
This was the first run. You can see a lot of dead bees floating around.
People pay for it. Plus I make my own candles. Gets me in the mood when I'm wearing my birks :lol:

 

[madtuna]

Just reading about the loss of bees on Kangaroo island :8
Does the wax smell like honey? I use a lot of candles for coating dog traps but they need to be unscented.

 

[Solid Luck]

Yes. There is a slight honey smell to it.
I think some of the stuff from overseas has paraffin mixed in with it.

I am removing the shelving/fridge/carpet from the back of my cruiser to get at the fuel level sender unit, again, to see why it keeps getting hung up at the 3/4 mark on the gauge. I took it out 2 days ago and tested it by raising/lowering the float and checking the fuel gauge - it passed all my tests until going back into the tank and am driving.

The fuel pump/sender and fuel tank is brand new and the same ohms as the old one, so it might only be either too long an arm on float or getting hung up somewhere in the new tank.

Unfortunately not.
Looks like it's going to be the same for the next to days.
I'm pretty sure the company gets paid for boots on ground, we go home they don't get paid, or something silly like that

 

[LONEWOLF]

Yer right, shame.. Hope you got lots of reading material...

Right now I am intermittently stiring my beef curry, every 10 minutes even, because it is yummy and I have roped my neighbours into loving my curries as well. Todays curry is sponsered by the neghbours even.

Listening to rain belting on the roof, hope it hangs around.
The best sound in the whole world.

Plenty of thunder and lightening as well though. which is worrying.

 

[RM Outback]

Same here Flowerpot :Y: the rain is decent enough to quell the lightning strikes for tonight it's given me a lift, earlier around 3 o'clock I had put the fire fighting unit on the ute. Went to head up to the shed to give Charlie instructions on the battery charger and ended up running over Buster our trusty mate 8.( he's come out of it ok at the moment, in at the vet's for an overnight stay. Having ultrasound and X-rays tomorrow morning. Got an estimate that could sink a battle ship but Busters worth more than any battle ship to us.

Had me worried for a bit but on the way to the vet I noticed his tongue was it's usual full red colour which gives us hope. He's just turned 13 and is slowing down as they do at this age. Anyway I'm having a Bush Chook 101 right now and thinking of Buster, he's a tough little dude there's no two worries about it, tomorrow is a new day.

On a brighter note here's the welcomed rain :beer:

 

[madtuna]

bugger RM...hope he makes a speedy recovery and I hope you don't feel like sh!t and beat yourself up....it happens.

 

[nucopia]

Hope everything works out for you and Buster..RM
