    Ideas for planters/raised beds?

    Ha ,last time I used grow bags it was a 60 kg coal sack filled with super dirt , used to scramble/crawl into the middle of a big gorse ( gorse is the poxiest prickliest bush ever)bush and put the bag over a main branch so as to pin it to the ground and open a space in the middle of the bush ...

    Motor support racks

    As wide as you need to fit the 3 motors ,I mean its not like they are going to fall over sideways with the 3 side by side on the same rack. And yeah , why one rack for all three ? Make them harder to move and need a bigger single area .

    Oil alarm beeping at low RPM

    1st thing I would do is to get a gauge and measure the oil pressure . Low oil pressure at idle can be a sign of bad things and you would want to know . It could also be the warning beeper playing up , either way a oil pressure test will tell you

    The girl (shes gotta be 40ish ) over the road claims to be an animal lover.....but more of a neglectful collector and she gets these "last chance " dogs to try and save , typically pit bulls ,bull terriers etc .

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I think these ones here are farmed as opposed to wild caught but Im going to catch a couple next time I pass that freezer . They also have Sanmar which I only ever bought as frozen bait but they look tasty too. The issue for me buying fish at the supermarket is freshness , once you have had your...
