Post #0072c - Long overdue - Shifting and placing mulch continued - Part LXVII The last stage of this exercise was to place a row of mulch against the bases of all of the retaining walls. Here’s the first completed row placed at the lower house pad’s retaining wall. The retaining wall here...

Okay, decision made, we're not driving out from Darwin Northern Territory to South East Queensland, so this collection needs to be packed. Now I remember where a lot of time went...

Post #0072b - Long overdue - Shifting and placing mulch continued - Part LXVII Fast forward more than year and there was now sugar cane growing out of the sugar can mulch. As we didn’t have a tractor, all the mulch was moved using a wheelbarrow. Here’s yours truly breaking up and loading...

Post #0072a - Long overdue - Shifting and placing mulch - Part LXVII Way, way, way back in mid-2024 we bought seven round bales of sugar can mulch. The intention was to place the mulch in certain areas to reduce the amount of work we were doing and make mowing easier. So, around the rip rap at...

@Geoff289 absolutely. In the auction comments they (including the buyer) convinced themselves a non-matching numbers engine was okay. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing 🤔

On Bring a Trailer only four Torinos https://bringatrailer.com/ford/torino/ have ever sold for more than USD80,000. One of those was a Cobra Jet (CJ) powered GT convertible and the three others were Super Cobra Jet (SCJ) Cobras. A fifth Cobra SCJ was bid to USD85,000, but at the time was a no...

Hi @jarhead, now you'll understand what I've been up to. It's been a huge undertaking and at times I've simply had to limit my time on Facebook, forum boards etc. etc. As you know, I have popped up occasionally looking for a few parts I'm searching for. I'm sure am looking forward to bringing...

Post #0071g - War of the weeds – Tidying and solarisation continued - Part LXVI This is the final update in Part LXVI #0071. The next photo is of the downslope side of the swale drain as it heads towards the gully. Again, it’s dominated by Paspalum sp., whereas today (2026) it’s been overrun...

Another strong result selling for USD $60,000 1997 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab Power Stroke 4 x 4 with 64k miles. Going by the 30-year rule our Honda Jazz will become collectable in 2044 :LOL:

@Tactile, the same as the last time because so many of us don't learn from history. For many it will mean setbacks. For example, significant losses of retirement savings/investments whether this is in superannuation, direct investments in shares and property, non-bank/private lending etc...

So, here we go. Do you remember the February 2020 stock market crash that occurred during the first year of COVID? Many believe it was the result of financial markets responding to the outbreak of COVID. There are a lot of analysts that forecast price using mathematical approaches that are...

@Tactile, I checked that out. Did you read the first, second or both books.

@Tactile I can understand. Being an engineer too, I needed convincing, but in the end my reading about unusual financial correlations that are observed by people smarter than me, broader concepts of cycles (in fact there's an entire foundation in the USA that was originally set up by government...

@Tactile what surprises me is that most of these financial experts don't understand the importance of the property market. Those that do, don't understand that there is a long cycle. WD Gann did not understand the property cycle but his financial timetable, which is now believed to have been...

@Tactile, if I'm right it sounds like you know of WD Gann which is exciting! I'd enjoy you elaborating either here or via DM. I have not had the time over the last 4+ years to explore his work and teachings more, and one of the subscription newsletters I receive on the Australian property...
