Fathers day

Fathers Day Act 1

4:20am rise and shine. Chris and I drove to west end.  I went to my shed and Chris killed some time in the car waiting for the BGS shed to open.
5:30am I was on water & rowing. While we were out,  rowing Queensland were running trials for school boy Brisbane representative quads.  Chris missed out by 0.1 sec.
7:10 off water.
Coffee at Alberto's.
Chris called from the BGS boat shed to say he was finished.

Fathers Day Act 2

On a time frame so we drove to sherwood church.  Chris took the train from Sherwood to Oxley. I met Dan & Jemma at church.  Dan did the power point and Jemma played in the band.

Fathers Day Act 3

Kitchen tap has some kind of problem with the thing on the end of the spout.

Took it apart.

Off to Bunnings and discover the thing is called an airator.  There are lots to chose from. Eventually find something that looks suitable.  Take it home.
Fit it.
One job down!

Fathers Day - Act 4
The bulb in the microwave has blown.  This makes it hard to establish when the poridge boils over.  They don't make it easy to change the light bulb.  Easier to buy a new microwave.

The bulb is held in place by a screw.  But the glass bit is larger than the metal bit.  So we have to remove the metal cover.  More screws.

The metal bracket is jammed between the red wires and the door switch - The black bit at the left.

Marked and removed the red wires.  Marked them so we can put them back on the same terminals.



























Here you can see how you have to remove the light bulb from inside the bracket.

Off to Bunnings.  no chance.  So now we need to find where to buy such a bulb.

The bulb is marked:
KE240V 25W .RU? e1

Electrical tabs 4.5mm wide x 10mm from base.

main silver bit is about 21mm dia x 30 long.

the glass is about 25mm dia x 40 long.

the tab is straight.  8mm wide x 13mm long

I believe the part number of the new bulb is CL825.  This part being about 10mm shorter and 20W instead of 25W.









Fathers Day - Act 5
3:30pm
Chris in stroke seat.    This is an eight of potential first eighters.  Paddy Holt is the only other grade 10 boy.  The rest are the Grade 11's as I understand it.  Paddy is the power house and Chris I believe keeps a good rhythm with reasonable power.

Fathers Day - Act 6
Chris finished at 6:15 and we drove home and our friends "The Konings" arrived for dinner.  We had..... left overs.  :) - Macaroni cheese that Chris and Marcus cooked on Friday night. Teamed with Wombok salad and freshly cooked cooked corn. 

Epilog... :)

And for dessert - Sticky date pudding cream and ice cream.
