We are a dominant species on this planet, we are consuming at a rate that has the potential to make life for our children very difficult. We remove vegetation and make major changes to the environment. We all love nature so long as it does not interfere with us (of course we can interfere with [...] Continue reading What do people expect? With many miles of railways having being shut down during periods of rationalisation it is great that someone has thought about a use for these miles of track. There will be objections from many citing legality and responsibility but rather than just letting these assets rot away (which they will because not many government departments [...] Continue reading what a great idea Every year has the potential to be severe on the eastern states. The main issue for people living there is whether or not they are prepared for it – the vaste majority are not and the reason is simple - They do not believe it might happen to them and this remarkable feeling that someone [...] Continue reading Eastern states set for severe fire season ONE of the great anomalies of the Australian broadband industry is the existence of usage caps, which around the world are virtually non-existent. In the US, some internet providers have talked of a 250 gigabytes-a-month limit. That has led to consumer outrage that forced those providers to desist lest they lose customers. This is despite [...] Continue reading ISPs should pay no mind to the cap Here is one that is worth a visit. TV Series Galore You can even buy what you like Geoff

Some even claim they can talk. But few could say their dog smokes bongs, [...] Continue reading Wilfred the pot smoking dog to return Telegraph Point is currently getting very spring like weather and has been for a week or so. Is this an indication of climate change? Birds acting like it is spring, defintiely all feels a couple of weeks early? Must be the air we breathe? Good line for a song I guess but stats today seem to have just stopped. “Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe yes to love you All I need is the air that [...] Continue reading Saturday and the world stops?

I sell these both locally and internationally. The postage cost of all my items is pretty close to the actual charges imposed by Australia Post. The 240 volt immersion heater has been very popular, as [...] Continue reading Newsletter 107: Couple of days left on Pollak and SIM Card I find it amazing that liberals in NSW seem to believe that they will just win the next state election. Here is a prediction Labor will win the next state election and the main basis will be the same as previous state elections - The liberals will go into the election with no policies and [...] Continue reading next NSW state election While these are failry common in the US it is quite difficult to get them at a reasonable price in Australia. Telepoint has a few on special until the 18th $125.90 + postage in Australia is not a bad price and if you combine a few items such as an immmersion heater or flat plate [...] Continue reading pollak fuel valve 6 port A common item in the vegie oil users vehicle. Connected into the heating / coolant system of your vehicle and the fuel delivery system, plate heat exchangers transfer heat generated by your vehicles operation to the vegetable oil running it. Why does this happen and why might it be needed? The vehicle coolant and the [...] Continue reading Stainless steel flat plate heat exchangers Bloody politicians – why do I feel it is all some sort of game to them.

In days of political opportunism, where politicians react in sound bites and write policy based on the next 5 minutes the type [...] Continue reading Critics would not know how to do this job. Using vegetable oil as a fuel is nothing new, I have been doing it for quite a while and nothing has broken. Generally I use coarse filtering (green woollies bag) and settling as the main filtering methods before going through a 5 and then 1 micron filter bag.
