I'd definately use that on a plant forum

I have thought about Golden Canes but they take too long to grow and take up too much space for the ROI.I'm concentrating on rare plants which  return much more for the time,effort and space required

A good old Chescold 3 way fridge. Purchased mine in 1988, gave 20 years of reliable service until I leant it to family who managed to break the igniter button, it then sat around for a few years and was thrown out during our last move.

I have an old Chestcold fridge/freezer that I still use that is working just fine.
I picked it up at the tip shop years ago for $20 and use it at home as a beer fridge and when I go on a fishing trip I keep my block ice in it.
The last trip was for 10 days and the ice was still good at the end of the trip :good:
I run it on 240v at home and gas when out bush, It is a little corker :yahoo:
Not as "Flash" as my new engel's but still a reliable bit of gear :ok:

[keldaw]

mine is so good ,
if you run it on 2 or more it will freeze anything in it .
and it goes up to 9 but then the fins all clog with frost .

There is something So therapeutic in cooking and eating Pasta, We Love spaghetti Bog and I get a great deal of satisfaction cooking the sauce.
I use minced Rump Steak and as many fresh herbs as I can find, I also slice the garlic into nice thin slivers, I don't know why but my Brother  in laws Mum Was Italian ( poor old bugger died a couple of years ago at 97) and she insisted that the garlic HAS to be sliced and Not crushed.
I don't know if it makes any difference but I do it that way in respect.
The only veggies I add are a couple of sticks of celery, heaps of capsicum, some finely sliced cabbage and of course as many tomatoes as I can fit in.
It is a never fail sauce and even my fussy bro in law likes it, even though it isn't really a traditional Italian dish

It looks like Adelaide is in for a big chunk of rain today and tomorrow.
Here's hoping that none of our SA members have any dramas with floodwaters over the next couple of days .

[robbiegal]

yes outta NSW is copping a hammering

the rivers down our way may get to flow a bit more for a little while

[trout]

I just looked at the Bom radar and that storm about to hit Adelaide is Huge.

[Unicorn]

Gee if the first wave wasn't enough ......

This is around 3:00pm ....

Markn might be offline for a while. We can all play up.

Yes, the forum server must be on a UPS as the whole of SA is apparently blacked out according to tonight's news. Hope all the SA members are going ok.

We get power outages just about every time there is a storm here So my gensets have saved the day on many occasions
God help me if Mrs Trout had to miss out on her "Home and away" because we had No power :angel:
