    I pulled out my old Stihl FS81 and after a bit of cleaning/tinkering, it's running sweet as. Hasn't been started for about 4 years.
    I think I'll get a shaft mounted controller and loop handle for it and put it back into service. Although it's only 22cc it puts the km90 4mix to shame for power. Just a bit noisy at full revs.

    Been with Costco ever since they opened here. And another little trick is the machine does not check your identity. When relatives stop through I always let them use my card to fill up before departing. I fill my tanks every time I go past them.

    Called in at the engineering shop today and 2 years after we first discussed it, he's finally made a start on my new 10x6 tilt trailer.

    Mixed emotions really, because I was just about to bite the bullet on a new vehicle and also, the local Husky dealer is about to offer me "A deal I can't refuse" to be a guinea pig for some cordless OPE.
    El Nino??? I certainly hope not

    Filled up gas at .40c per litre at the shell servo Dingley - just around the corner from Costco. Just happened to be going past but the employee said its been that price for 2 weeks.

    Maybe a little competition?? If they can sell it at .40c how much are they really making on it?

    Yer, had a crack at the Costco thing last week & the saving on petrol looked great at around 40c/litre.
    Saving on diesel was around 14c/litre.
    Disappointing thing for me was you had to estimate how much fuel so that you could prepay it.
    You do get a refund if you over estimated but, that seems like more checking/bookwork to me.
    Also if you don't overestimate/get a refund, you can't fill your tank & work out your fuel figures. There
    was also an overcharge (charged twice) on my wifes card which took two days to sort out. Check your
    accounts carefully.
    Might have a look at the Shell over the road.
    Cheers Fred.
