RDO

RDO - Rostered day off, something us hard workers get for having to work weekends. And today is one! Woo hoo - no work.
Here's todays itinery
  • Walk Bingley
  • Fit reversing assistant to car
  • Get the pool ready for the weekend
  • Type this blog - and here I am, watching cr*p on TV, whilst I jot these few notes.


The car reversing assistant was bought from eBay... It turned out a lot harder to install than I expected, due to the difficulty of getting the radars installed in the rear bumper - their was no room at all. However I'm very happy now it's in. The Verada has a huge boot and rear bumper, both of which can't be seen when reversing.




Here's the control box for the pool - it started out really neat, then we added lots of lights (the blue transformers), and a couple of timers, and then the main control box fell to pieces (that's it leaning). They charge a bomb for these units, which are basically just transformers and a simple timer. I replaced the timer with a $10 unit from Bunnings and patched together the transformer.



The pool needed five bags of salt, plus a heap of other chemicals to get it in shape again. It's now at around 26 deg C. so it will be lovely to swim in tomorrow.



Nice temperature - 26 deg.
