Thanks mate, I ended having a google and a read.
BMA was fairly obvious, so figured it was related.

My roof top evaporative cooler went on the blink last weekend and I finally got around to fix it today with the cheap cost of $400, I actually saved myself between $500 to $600 possibly more.
I should have jumped on the bandwagon years ago in this field of work and made a killing as this is one field where they charge like a wounded bull.

Ive spent my whole life making other peoples irrigation systems work, only recently did i convert my own manual sprinklers to solenoids. Today i lashed out on an internet capable controller, controlled through a phone app.

About to go feed my neighbours cat, she's away with her family in Mandurah for Chrissie, I have to wear a thick gauntlet welding glove on my right hand, as soon as I put the dish down it goes into attack mode, but its a cat, it misses its owner feeding it

Mate, you'll have to wear double layers of jeans for the cats lunch if its that territorial. But, you never know, after a few days he might accept you as the hand that feeds him and maybe even appreciate your visits. Cats sometimes have odd personality traits. My brothers cat for example, she isnt aggressive, yet for years if you went to pat her back she'd dip it because she didnt seek attention. You couldnt scratch her behind the ears or under the chin, she'd run and hide. Now pats is all she wants, however she won't jump on your lap, she will only sit beside you. Also not the most intelligent animal either. She does silly things like craps beside the litter box then digs litter out of the box to cover it.

Not surprised and deservingly will be convicted but she is taking the fall for misdeeds from some other people. Will be interesting to see what develops when all the victims come forward for retribution.

Well I finally gave my 2012 XLT Ranger a good clean and detail today something I have neglected for the last few months, geez the old girl looks new again.
Now I'm off to do the wife's 2000 KN laser, this is a great little car which is worth looking after as this presents quite well for its age, Mazda knows how to build good quality cars.
