    Enough is enough

    Why did your wifes name get bought into it ? Surely the school can tresspass someone for inappropriate / aggressive behaviour without having to name a staff member .... or if a name has to be provided it should be the headmaster or governing board members . I think your wife has been treated...

    Arghh! Freakin raccoon.

    :) I gotta ask , what do you mean by "relocated " ? I have "relocated" a few critters over the years , mostly to the offal pit or a fire ....sometimes a convenient bush or a bit of swift flowing water is all thats required ( sorta depends on the size of the dispatched...I mean your not going...

    Solar charging batteries

    After reading up on it a bit I find that a battery tender will hold the battery charged , mine has no voltage/charge control at all , puts out 20v with no load, reads battery voltage when you hook it up . I have a 210a/h battery and it keeps that charged . I am told that such a tender wont...

    Nobody fishing?

    3-4 lbs would have to be a good feed for two , if you take it:):) . I would take a 2lb trout if one of my neibours asked for one ( they are mostly older folk but we do trade produce and capture ) but normally I dont keep them as I get other better eating fish ( also traded ). Nice that...

    10 speed auto seems to much unless the torque band is pitiful. When I 1st got the 6 speed I sorta thought that was to many but I do like it now . My other car 2003 Rav4 has only 3 speed and overdrive and it really needs a couple more . My old car was a 350 sbc with a powerglide (2 speed )...

    Yes its an auto I think it may be a U160L , not sure now . Paddles are so slow that your better off just leaving it in D . Fits behind a 2GR-fe Toyota V6 FWD if that helps :) As for the skip shift ......... why 🤯🤯🤯. That seems berserk to me . I wonder how many crashes or shat pants that causes .

    I got a 6 speed and it does get a bit indecisive in the twisty hills , I just paddle it down to 4th ( or whatev ) and unless the revs get to high (red line ) or low it stays there ............until I go back to D ........even if that takes untill the passenger seat unwanted information/...

    Still got them on the Capri , and as for the electric windows Id be a lot happier if they could make up their mind when they are going to work. If I turn motor off with trans in D the radio will stay on and the windows will work for ever with ign off .........as long as you dont open the...

    Nobody fishing?

    It is a nice looking pond You guys seem to have such a wide variety of fish that a pond this size would be self supporting and provide edible fish , where as here apart from tiny fish we only got trout , salmon and ( in some places )perch and a lot of our fishing waters rely on being...

    How do you screw into fiberglass/gelcoat without chipping?

    After seeing the above I think I would try a dremel with either a bur or a stone to wizz thru the gelcoat.
