the all aussie dribble thread!

That’s a perfect explanation, it makes a lot of sense now. I’ve always been told to keep the horizontal line level with the landscape so that’s what I’ve done. I don’t shoot competitions, just for vermin control and a bit of fun. Great video [emoji1305]

 

[trains]

its to do with gun cant. hard to explane this chick dose a good job of it tho.

Yep, good video on it, I only use it (bubble level) to set the scope up in the first place so its correct to the rifle, not whilst in use on the range, again its about muscle memory, get it all right, and your on target. Part of training is to get level to begin with, I can see how its another useful item, but I have not used one. Might explain a few flyers at 800 tho

 

[2strokenut]

i do not use the buble level when im hunting but i do at the range.

off to Repco (who to be fair are normally very good ) for chipper oil change parts Kohler pony motor & spin on hydro oil filter Fleet guard HF 6056 um how much pls?? Dont stock Fleet guard but in Ryco copy its $66 bucks sir...Um $66 no thanks i'll shop around

Ok then how much for the Kohler 25Hp pony motor oil filter ( thinking this will be a touch up) as USA part... Have one in Ryco Z418 $18 bucks


I got on line for $17 plus $10 bucks post new boxed Hydro Fleetguard HF6056


I'm glad i did oil change it been far to long,, its bad when sump plug comes out and oil runs like water

Stick with the fleetguard filters. Good quality media, lots of it, good glue, springs valves etc.

I have not been impressed with ryco filters for some years now.
They were good made in NZ
they were not too bad when made in south africa
They were sheit when made in china.
I had the ryco rep out to look at some filters that had round rolled threads that did not have pitch, just round circles that met, and swarf in the spin on threads.

Have also taken apart repco and ryco filters and compared them to a genuine filter, less media is the first noticeable thing, poor glue, less well finished.

Just not worth the hassle, buy fleetguard in bulk and have some up your sleeve.

 

[derwoodii]

yeah agree fleetguard served me well for years and im not paying $66 for a China Ryco..

This all started when i found some free motor oil being dumped last week gotta luv hard rubbish when people chuck out some good gear if lucky to see it

I got about 20 litres of premium brand oils and 15 litres of no brand thats gone straight to trucks saw oil box

this is just part of the free oil haul all full unopened

Makes all that firewood gathering worth while.
How is your house, is it well insulated ?
Our first winter here was not that good, no heating, no cooling, no insulation, kitchen was same temp inside as out, well it was 4 deg when it was below freezing outside, rest of house was around 6.
We would open the windows when it got above 10 to warm the place up, cold, damp, trying to dry cloth nappies, our youngest daughter had just arrived, made for some cold feeds at times.
Took a few years to get on top of things, and to have a comfortable home.

Now the cool has finally arrived, you hear the chorus of chainsaws on the weekend as people suddenly think, oh, I need some firewood, these are the same people who look at you funny when your out getting wood in late winter/ spring and getting ready for the next season, or season after, or come up and ask if you would sell them some firewood from your apparently "huge" pile that you dont need all of it.
Forget the fact that most of it is seasoning for the next year or two, has been cut smaller for the wood stove, and split and neatly stacked.

Ants and the grasshoppers.

We are fortunate this winter, we are burning sugar gum that has seasoned for 2 summers, and had lost its leaves when cut, so started out at 30%, have been trying to get ahead so we are good for a few years, rekon we go thru 7+ tonne, but were heating our entire house, its thick stone, so has some thermal mass, and its worth investing into. Assuming that a cubed pallet is a tonne, I really have no idea what the actual weight is, but go by volume, and assume the weight.
Hang in there, I was in my mid 40s before I lived in a house that was warm in winter and cool in summer.

 

[rogue60]

My old man must be bored or something he cut carted split this firewood by himself he's only got 90cc plus saws lol
