Nice! Welcome.

Hrm recent tool experiences. A friend got me a new pruning saw. Dang that thing's sharp!

Some cycling specific tools (and parts) on the way to help rebuild my old mtb.

Storage is what's killin me currently. New garage and nothing's set up nicely yet. Carp everywhere

    Rad! I had the same thing happen in covid times. I went for a slightly more powerful motor 😂 and thus began my coffee machine modification phase. I call it a 'sleeper' coffee machine because it looks like a cheap turd, but drives alright.

    I'm not saying this is fair, or accounts for the full amount. But there are things like R&D tax kickbacks companies can get, which are designed to incentivise companies to do R&D in Australia. There are probably other kickback incentives. Now, do I think these companies could (or should be able to) legitimately tally up these kickbacks to net a nil tax bill - no, probably not. But I'm not even close to an expert

    There's a masked lapwing wing near me that has found the perfect nesting spot in the middle of an electrical sub-station. The chick is very cute - fluff ball on legs.

    Sisters dog ate compost and got ill on Christmas day. We were at a beach holiday house and had to drive 1.5 hrs to the nearest vet. That was not a cheap day for them 😅

    Yes, massive gum tree in the neighbours yard. There are a few hollows and a big nest at the top. Been meaning to stake out the hollows with a camera.
    The suburb I'm in is very leafy and the council is protective of significant narive trees luckily.

    I'm a daily rider who's followed Savic for a while now and would love to switch to electric. Their C-series Alpha is a propper, fully electric motorcycle and they've started public test rides so I thought I'd give it a go. I might write a brief summary of my thoughts in the comments, but yeh, feel free to chime in. Would love to know if others have ridden propper Emotos here.
