SUNDAY 

5:30 rise and shine. 

6:00 Frank and Mags went for a run down to the river and then to Syndetic where the car was on charge. 

Called Phoebe's phone - Nothing. No ring.  No diversion to voice mail. 

Worried it had been found,  stolen and somehow disabled. 

Decided to go to Oxley woolies to have a look. 

Drove. 

Looked around. Called phone and this time I got a ring tone in my phone. Went upstairs and put my ear to the woolies door and called again but could not hear anything. 

Back to the car.  Called one last time and heard it ring. Looked around inside my car but could not find it. Got out and opened the passenger door.  Called again and located it in the passenger foot well.

Whipper Snipper Reassemble

5-APRIL-2026

WHIPPER SNIPPER REASSEMBLY

Had to cut the old pipes off the carbie. 

Took a couple of attempts to reassemble.

Push the grommet close to the carbie.  

Push in the grommet and the o-ring.

Screw the fuel tank in place. 

Screw the carbie in place. 

Note that one can pull it hoses out of the grommet but you can't push them back in so you need to start with them too short ie carbie close to the fuel tank and then pull the tubes to get the carbie in place. 

Finally un screw the posidrive screw securing the throttle cable and connect it up and re insert the screw. 

Park Run

Bit of slow one today with walk run toward the end. Lacking in get-go.

CAR PARK

I'd prefer paid $76 to park in the long term car park but on exit they'd demanded and I'd paid an extra $15.

Mt Majura

We drove up McKenzie st and parked. 

We saw the ponds where we would try for yabbies.  Henry told a story of his class fishing. The other kids had commercial fishing rods and he had one us older kids had made from bamboo and a reel found at the dump. 

The last part on the way up was quite steep. Getting old.  Had to stop often to rest and recover. 

What an absolutely beautiful walk. Blue sky. Dry air that was neither warm nor cold.  Tee shirt weather. Clear views to the horizon. [My] Big landscape photos don't do justice to the view.  I ponder the different colours of the mountains - is it different foliage or possibly the distance somehow causing the light colour change.
