What did you do today non-detailing related?

Need to have a word with the neighbours and see if they mind you cutting the over growth on your fence line.

I think they like having the overgrown material on the fence, it helps to hide the crop of weed they have growing it pots. That stuff reeks.

You got it!

Every Autumn has been accompanied by a strange aroma outside. Took me many years to figure out what it was. I have a very strong sense of smell so I can pick up scents that others can't. The aroma is very pungent, I could smell it when I drove into our street the other week.

He got busted many years ago for growing it and from what I can gather, he is just cultivating it for personal use and not selling it.

Apart from it being illegal, it's the smell that annoys me most as it seems to float indoors as well.

A couple of days ago: I went to watch the LA Clippers host the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA play in game. Unfortunately we lost and our season came to an end.
We’ll be back next season.

Vacation Project Number Five - Power Reel installation.

I have a extreme hatred of untidy, messy cables and hoses.............it drives me nuts!

You know the sort of thing..............





Ideally, I would have preferred a metal style reel, but these are just too far out of the budget for what they are. My choice ended up being this Australian made Recoila Retractable Reel. I like that when ready, I can add the compressed air version and have them match. Form is equally important as function.





A blank wall and a power outlet right below made the perfect spot for this addition.



The box contains a template for easily locating the drilling points.





I chose to mount this up high to keep it out of the way, doing so requires the 'mouth piece' to be relocated to the lower section. This is done by removing a few screws, popping the black plastic mouth piece out, removing the plastic stopper, feeding the cord and mouth piece down into the lower position before snapping into place and replacing the screws.

Now, I had some help with the drilling portion of this project. The two brackets need 8 holes and 8 dyna bolts to hold them position. This is a concrete wall so a Hilti hammer drill is needed for this job. Let's just say the installation was somewhat testing, although for a change it was me who was calmer and less stressed.

If/when I do this again, I think I'll mount the reel to a cleat and attach the cleat to the wall instead for a smoother installation.

Either way, it's installed and should work quite well.

Saturday i helped my brother at his flip house, i pressure washed the concrete and then went to mum's/dad's place to mow the lawns with the ride on and push mower for the tight spots.

Now we have 6 day's of rain......................yay

Hopefully the Kwahi and George experience pans out next year. Like them both as players.
