Yeh mate I know, ......

Geoff
If you have a quick 4x4 then Nippy's would be the one,

Does it work better if they are freshly squeezed......?? :))

Dave

Hey Dave,
You just reminded me of something!
I was talking to a bloke I know last week who's been on labour hire to the salvage mob recovering the Pasha Bulker here in Newcastle.
He's got a big bag of oranges and a stool to sit on. Every hour he throws one orange overboard.

Apparently they watch which way the oranges drift so that they'll know where to deploy booms in the event of an oil spill!

Soo, oranges are good for oil spills too!

Geoff

Geoff,
Bloody versatile things arent they? I will never look at them the same way again.

Im on the Central Coast, been meaning to get up there and take a look at the Pasha, I imagine it's quite a sight. Do you think they will get it moved soon, they are talking about having a go tomorrow??

Dave

Hi Dave,
First idea was to have a go on the high tide Wednesday night. Latest information is an attempt on the high tide Thursday night.
Apparently the salvage equipment and ship weren't quite fully prepared for Wednesday night.
Biggest problem will be all the road closures in the city and all the exclusion zones being reported. This state is so full of do-gooders and nannies that nobody will get a look at the job!

If this howling westerly keeps up it'll blow the thing back out to sea!

Geoff

Thanks Geoff,
I was thinking of taking my 8yr son up on saturday to have a look, sounds like it may be too late. Not a bad thing I s'pose if they get it moved successfully. I will keep an eye on the news reports anyway.

Cheers mate,

Dave

P.S GO THE WALLABIES

Yep I would believe that, the truck tyre joints use compressed air from a cylynder with handles, a large lever type valve tap , and it has a nozzle , they aim it at the tyre and BLAST it pops the tyre into place, not good on the ears ,
Try this, must be totally calm, best inside, hand movements must be as in slow motion so you don't stir the air , get a coffee mug, a gas cig lighter, allow some gas to go into the mug, about 20 seconds, then very slowly take the hand away from the mug SLOWLY because you will suck the gas out of the mug, then light the lighter in your left hand and holding the mug above the lighter slowly tip the gas out onto the flame .

There's a vid on the net that shows some guys doing that trick.

There have actually been links to video of this technique posted on here.

Yes - amazing to watch.

We are on the ball in the West ya know,
