This is all that fell, but it got very cold overnight. All my flowers are dead in the garden, very sad.

Hopefully it's just the top foliage that's dead.
That's what I'm hoping anyway for mine, they're looking pretty crap at the moment but they've done this before.

You need to snip the wires to that buzzer. It can't be good for your mental health.
How much are the shipping costs for something like that?

Probably in the $2-3000 range because it's not a big car plus it starts and drives.

Super duper bright now, with much less current draw.

Changed the look of the arse end, new exhaust tip. I got fed up of leaving sooty marks all over the concrete.

The exhaust was blowing pretty bad at the manifold.

Took a look tonight and two of the nuts that hold it on (my user icon) had fallen off and the thing was hanging loose.

Replaced those and done them up really tight. No more leak.

Oops.
