Returning to Wagga Wagga, I stopped at the rest area at Tootool, where the locals (rather, one local) was maintaining a garden and historical monument) for the last 25 years. #4 a WWII air base was nearby, and the schoolkids used to watch them crash.. hmm.

''The Windows 3.1 Hot Dog Stand theme has been called the world’s worst theme, “the ugliest, most abhorrent, most terrifying pile of mismatchery that we have ever had the misfortune to behold.”'' Somebody liked it.

I helped someone with a broken wire on their car's fuel pump. When it was all done, he admitted he asked me while thinking "That guy over there looks like a NERD...I wonder if he has a soldering iron." :D

Hmm.. because of the capacitive bottom loading from the solar panel, the 146 MHz VHF antenna (rhs) is being pulled 10 megahertz out of tune.. I think I need to get a hold of a 156 MHz Marine antenna..

Playing around with a friend's HKMICRO LE105 thermal camera. It was ~AU$700 #2 Hmm, the radio in the top-right was turned off all day. I would say the power switch is after the voltage regulator.

I've found/met the culprit who's been sticking googly eyes on everything :D "Part Time Trying" on Youtube has also been spreading the word of the Jetboil Gas Preservation Society since he discovered this kettle I left at Willow Tree 2 years ago on his bikepacking travels.
