Aw spotted a Koala sitting on the road in the hills just before - Adelaide-Lobethal Rd - sitting just to the side a little but still on the road - felt as though we had to do something with the way it was sitting there the poor thing. Me and my mates in my car pulled over as far to the side as possible with the hazards on. Really wanted to help it but couldnt risk getting minced to bits by it's claw wouldnt have a clue how to handle it until I got home just then and googled it. Poor thing was sitting there licking it's wounds, blood on it's snout and blood around it on the ground. Cars driving past were slowing down as soon as they saw us - the ones driving harder would have hit it if it werent for us standing around there lights from the car etc. Called up RSPCA asked for advice on what to do with it - the guy that answered was fair useless and sounded like he didnt give a rats. Koala ended up getting scared and walked(almost limping) to the side of the road, infront of cars that slowed down/stopped by us, stayed there for a bit then walked back across the road and up a tree and stayed there.

Sounds silly but couldnt leave the the poor thing there - had to atleast try to do something and got it off the road and back into a tree.

i get to go through the work inbox til feb, yay. f**k i love reading spam emails :(

Anyone see the lightening display lastnight? I was putting my car away lastnight when I caught a glimpse of some lightening. Stayed outside for about 30 minutes and watched it and it didn't rain once! It was surreal!

yeah i was at grange jetty when it was happening don't use graphite rods in electrical storms my rod was sparking pretty weird and my mates rod was doing the same thing. lol

awww Vu quiet the humanitarian Kudos

I went back to it today to get a precise location and reported it to the Cleland Wildlife Park animal rescue. Exactly 15.2km straight up Magill Rd into Adelaide-Lobethal Rd just before a bend - vehicle can be parked at the bend - Koala is sitting just up on a small tree. I went to the RSPCA they got a cartoon picture of a Koala on their front window with it's arm in bandage along with other cartoon animals... but when I went inside they say they cant handle that kind of wildlife even if I brought it to them! Useless. Hope someone gets to it to provide some help - this is about all I can do without getting mauled by a Koala lol

Good to see some compassion in this world Vu.

Some days you just cannot drive past when you see some of these things.

I remember one day walking home from school and I walked passed this bush next to the footpath and I heard this rustling then a crunch. I look down and I had stood on a bird that quickly flew out of the bush. I picked it up and put it back into the bush and covered it up a bit (At this point the thing was already dead). I just felt so bad for it I was pretty upset for a few days or so.

But the thing was I didn't just want to leave it on the footpath, so I moved it off into the bush so it was kind of hidden from anything

RSPCA are useless.

I took a wounded dog to the RSPCA and they wouldn't deal with it. They said they would take it in but the dog would need to be put down and they'd charge me some $47 to take it off me!!! WTF?

Talk about animal abuse ... they're the biggest offenders! :P

lol unlucky Jarrad, thats liek the video of the baseball guy pitching the ball into a bird as it flies past infront of the batter, eg http://www.therogers5.com/Downloads/VideoClips/

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
