Fuel theft

Dj has always been pretty clever making unique things with his hands. Now I see he must have inherited this from his father

I take it you've seen "Camilla"....
That takes the cake for a feral animal's worst nightmare.

i'm sorry mate , i'm not following with "camilla "

It's a secret mate... you will have to ask him.
If you're fortunate enough to get a glimpse one day, you will immediately see how serious he is with his craft.

"Craft"... That brings me back to when i was working with the Texans from Fluor on the Santos gas development. Mostly Seth Afflicanas... They call tradesmen Craftsmen and trade skills Craft. What a great mob of loyal, kind, influential people they are. Even to lowly welding superintendents like I was there. If you are up front, have the balls to say what you think even if you know it's going to make them lose their sh*t, especially when they want something stupid or impossible, after that they will do anything for you. Craft.

Rich, you have seen "Camilla" (my shooting rig) when you were here.
Maybe I didnt formally introduce you to her.

It all came to pass when my partner nicknamed it "Camilla" due to the many hundreds of hours I spend sitting in its seat.
You know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The third person in the relationship.

ahhh, that's right ! i remember now . some ingenious inventing goes on in your shed DJ

i was talking to a good mate of mine about your revolving "turret ", he reckons you need a browning M2 50cal or a 20mm auto cannon mounted on it
wouldn't leave much of the dogs and i think the noise and muzzle flash might be a little distracting though

Thanks for your compliment Mate.

Great idea DJ, but somehow, I think my reputation would mean nobody would touch it... and people out here have had cameras that were probably hidden as best as you could hide one of those obvious lumps... so no point having a camera over it either.

On the sugar in fuel... I'm pretty sure I saw a story on YouTube by some bloke who tests out if something is an old wives tale and it appeared so. If my memory served me correctly.

I mixed sugar and petrol into a large stainless steel bowl.
Pour off the petrol, assuming it's now loaded with sugar.
Burned off the petrol: NO residue.
Sugar would normally leave sticky black residue.
Guess there was no sugar in that petrol.

I think it's the old "One of the watermelons has been poisoned" trick, to scare the victim into thinking their system has been spiked with sugar.
Try it at a friend's place on their car and let me know...
