Don't know about and can't help anybody else's situation but it took me a lot of years and eventually my cancer diagnosis to slowly, bit by bit, get back on good terms with my son. Had a reunion visit from him and his family this year and amongst the tears we all wondered how and why it took so...

In every hobby or pastime there is a world of difference between price and value that is fed by the basic difference between want and need. Hmmmm deep.

I live in Australia but have travelled extensively in the US. From a purely economic viewpoint the US market and economy is so large and vibrant that most (if not all) local demand for all goods and services can easily be met domesticaly without the need for extra international transport costs...

Frank - I have to agree wholeheartedly that mowing the law is a great time to think. I also agree that any hit in the nuts causes such great pain that is to be avoided at all costs - so much so that in the game of cricket the batsmen wore protectors over their nuts (we call the device a box -...

I install vacuum powered water pumps on all my gas boats using a transom mounted water pick ups as pictured with the "v" cut out pointing forward to maximise water pick up (there is a grub screw to adjust). The line from the pick up is routed to the intake of the water pump and from the water...

Martin I also use my transporter as a movable stacking storage unit so it is vital to me fully enjoying the hobby.

Chris - A nice job. If pulling it around the pond does become a problem perhaps you could put a frame and a jockey wheel at the front and arms and a handle at the back to push the cart like a shopping trolley. My diy trailer was designed to push which gives it the inbuilt advantage of being...

David - a quip only other Aussies will understand - when the sheila was getting her gear off I thought we might see the map of Tasmania !
