Rather than just looking in or logging in for a look how about we use this thread to actually post about what's going on for everyone.

We've been in lockdown for 4 Months here but being a hermit it hasn't made any difference me.
How has everyone else been coping?

Posted by: oz man Jun 6 2020, 08:49 PM

Hi Fed , well I have been trying to start and grow my Building Supplies business after been made redundant .
37 years with a company and they just decide to drop the Panel product division, oh well it was going great before this virus hit , now I'm just surviving hoping a turn around is coming.

Posted by: SUMOFISHIN Jun 7 2020, 02:35 PM

Hi Fed,
That's a Great Idea, Coming from Chipping Norton, I am Just sitting around not doing much , Recovering from my spate in Hospital Most of April suffering with Chronic Bronchitis.
Should have been at our Vintage machinery Rally this Weekend But we decided to call it off when we heard of the Virus in February.
I'll Post a couple of pics of my Cars I hope they come up Ok

My 1929 Essex Challenger, My 1987 6.8ltr Fuel injected Rolls Silver Spur, Now has 118,000 ks on the clock, And My Perentti which I built from a HQ Panel van in 1985 and has Never been on the road. I hope you like them.

All good here. Beryl and I were teachers for our 5 yr old grandson for a couple of weeks. She was the teacher mostly, and I was the Principal. I laid down the law when he became a bit too strong willed. No cookies or Robot Wars in recess, if he misbehaved.
Love the Perentii, Sumo. I cleaned my boat up and listed it last week. Lots of tyre kickers but no fair dinkum lookers. One bloke offered me half of what I was looking for, sight unseen. Might as well do what Fed is doing and just keep it sitting on the concrete.

Posted by: SUMOFISHIN Jun 7 2020, 03:32 PM

Hi Klaus Hold out on your Boat someone wants it, Mine is sitting in the Garage Been there untouched covered up for 4 Years It is coming out to get cleaned up within the next couple of months and then I will do a Trip to Port Macquarie.

I reckon this virus has a long way to go Oz in fact I can't see an end to it on a world wide scale.
If they ever find a vaccine that works maybe a mass vaccination like the world has never seen before.

Good to see you KK, a couple of weeks ago my first born wanted to visit and I told him I wouldn't let him in. LOL
My boat is still glued to the concrete and I should sell it but it needs some work which I couldn't be bothered doing.
New battery, drain & new fuel, new disc hubs and a damned good shiny up.

Sumo the old rev head, who would have thought?

I know how he feels. Last time I came around, I saw you close the blinds as I walked up the drive. Knocked, rang the bell, walked around the house to see if the back was open. Saw the crack in the blinds open up and curtains moved. No answer. As I drove away, I saw the curtains open up again. No wonder you are a hermit. I had donuts as well!!!

Now you can go Driving about and Fishing again ( once you Recover from the Rego Costs)

Posted by: nimrod Jun 9 2020, 02:34 PM

The past few months has seen me with a new hobby far away from Fishing. Woodturning. I bought a cheap lathe that got me started, mate found an old beat up rusty and completely seized up wood lathe and gave it to me, had parts missing etc. I set about restoring it, stripped it down put new bearings in it and gave it a paint job, made some new parts for it ( took forever ) and now ready to sell along with my cheapie I originally got. I am going to purchase a new more powerful and upgraded lathe ( maybe today ) from hare and forbes, still a reasonably cheap one but all I can afford. Hope it will last me out which I'm sure it will.

Posted by: Fed Jun 9 2020, 04:45 PM

Jeez they don't miss ya with those green slips, 425 bucks to drive 1000 Km a Year.
I was talking to my mechanic and he said if you get booked & get some points then the green slips go up in price, anyone heard of that?

Posted by: SUMOFISHIN Jun 10 2020, 01:14 AM

Fed that's Normal 1 point and it goes up $100

Posted by: oz man Jun 10 2020, 03:24 PM

wow that cheap just did the 1 tonner and it was $865.00 as it classified as work. all up cost just over $1300 for ctp ,rego and pink slip and insurance was another $1100 on top.

Posted by: Fed Jun 10 2020, 03:39 PM

That's what he said Sumo, $100 a point. What a rip off.

Klaus. Congratulations on selling the boat, had it for a while and from what I have read you didn't use it much.
I am also thinking of selling a few boats myself, have 17 foot half cab glass boat that hasn't seen water for 7 years, and a 12 foot punt that has been a while. My 14 foot Brooker tinnie is a project that I have been fixing up for a few years but just seems to sit in the one spot month after month without being touched. Not able to work on it much these days due to health reasons, still needs old paint stripped from the lower hull and then painting, but will probably never get done.
A lot of potential money just sitting around doing nothing. My plan would be to sell all boats and upgrade my vehicle.

Posted by: kkw Jun 22 2020, 02:41 PM

Thanks Frank. I think one of the problems in selling stuff, is that there is often an emotional attachment and the mindset of "I must use that soon". Still, sorry to see the Quinnie go.

Posted by: SUMOFISHIN Jun 22 2020, 02:52 PM

Good to hear Klaus I hope you got the Right Price for it
Frank I wouldn't go upgrading my car too much they have a tendency of losing value very quickly, My Suzuki is 20 years old now and I only paid $3500 for it when I bought it years ago, If you look around people upgrade their vehicle and sell off their good second hand ones Cheap, because the dealers offer them Nothing

George. Depreciation is something I am not concerned with. When I say upgrade I am talking about going from a 2006 commodore worth probably $2000 to 2006 + something else, thinking of S U V or 4x4 as it is getting too hard for me to get in and out of the commodore, need something I can sort of step up into rather than sit down on, the commodore is just too low.

Posted by: SUMOFISHIN Jun 23 2020, 03:08 PM

Frank that's the reason I have the Grand Vitara they are so easy to get in and out of and comfortable to drive, but saying that keep away from the V6 models you would be lucky to get 8 Klms per litre out of them the 2 litre and the 2.4 litre are a different story, try one out you wouldn't be disappointed

Well done KK I should do the same but I couldn't be bothered talking to tyre kickers.

You want to buy a boat? rolleyes.gif

Posted by: kkw Jun 23 2020, 11:07 PM

Yeah Fed. So frustrating. Got lots of enquiries asking if I would swap for a car and an older boat. Whaaattt!!!! Told one bloke I would swap it for a mustang. He said, oh, ok thanks.

I think you need to reconcile to yourself that your boat isn't worth as much to someone else as it is to you. (I include myself in that comment)

How much do you want? I like the Seafaries, I mean ers

I'm all over that KK, sold my sharkcat for $5K with 2 x 80 HP Mercs (ex police with 300 Hrs)
Sold the Caribbean Commodore for $10K it was immaculate.
Gave my Falcon wagon away to a good home.
I know how to move stuff when I decide it's time to go.

Anyway the Viking needs a battery, new fuel and new disk hubs but I'm thinking $5K plus those parts so maybe $5.5K.

Posted by: kkw Jun 24 2020, 11:55 PM

Yeah I think so. Transom and floor ok? How old is the motor? From memory, the trailer didn't have much or any rust? 16ft or 17ft?

Posted by: kkw Jun 25 2020, 03:02 AM

I told the missus that you were thinking of selling the boat, Fed, and she said, "you better not be thinking of buying it. You didn't buy it did you?" I just looked at her and smiled....

Posted by: Fed Jun 25 2020, 12:55 PM

Transom & floor are both solid, motor is a 1988 Evinrude 90HP, hull is a 17' Viking and the trailer is rust free aside from the discs (lack of use).
It's sad really, I'm starting to realise I'm getting too old to do all the things I wanted to do when I got old.
Maybe I should get it detailed and leave it there as talking piece or an ornament.

I've suffered both 'seller's remorse' and simply 'having no boat remorse' which is like a security blanket thing, I don't need it, use it or want it but I still have to have it.

Posted by: oz man Jun 25 2020, 07:56 PM

Hello what about IP camera , I'm not much into those but know my fair share .
What seems to be the problems as they are a great item for hackers.

Posted by: Fed Jun 26 2020, 03:05 PM

I picked up a UL-Tech wifi camera George, just a cheap one to try out before committing to a more extensive system.
The problem is that the supplied app (360Eyes Pro) wont work on (not suitable) Denise's tablet so I'm trying to get the camera to connect to an app that will run on her tablet. Maybe Onvifer or Always Safe, there are plenty out there but no matter which one I choose they don't want to connect to the camera.
I can't even find any software for XP that will connect, they all seem to fail when I'm asked for the IP.
Router 192.168.20.1
Camera 192.168.20.9
Which one?
Then there's the 4 numbers that follow the IP
Like 192.168.20.9:1234 what's that all about.
Then there's port forwarding, I dunno if I need to do that or not or how to.

I think it's time to get a more main stream camera like Swann or something that has more support.
Other that the compatibility problem and it's stuck in black & white the UL Tech seems to work fine on devices that the 360Eyes app support.

Buy more toilet paper the bum rush is on again!

Posted by: Fed Jun 29 2020, 02:02 PM

How is everyone coping with covid?

We've been in 99% lockdown for 5 Months here and to tell the truth I'm starting to like it.

My son rang a few weeks ago to come over & I told him I wouldn't let him in so then he rang last week & arranged to call in & pick up some stuff I had for him, he was inside the house for 30 seconds, LOL.

I went to the shops last week and in the whole shopping centre me & Denise were the only people wearing masks so I felt like a bank robber. (No toilet paper either)

I have to say I've been having sleeping problems for some strange reason I bounce out of bed between 2 & 4 am lately, weird.

Home delivery is a godsend, menulog has all my money and I found a place that delivers chop chop at 1/3 the price of Champion, it's a bit rough but any port in a storm.

Netflix is copping a hiding. crazyman.gif

I need to make up a couple of pushers & receivers to R&R some suspension bushes Frank.
I'd buy a kit but the trouble is they don't make them for Falcon sizes.

Fed. I could make them no problem, just need to see a sample or at least get a drawing of what it is you want made, sounds simple but things like this need to be made right.
send me your address and when you will be home and I will come and collect sample/drawing OR at least get the part or whatever.
Busy in morning Monday 8/5 but any other time

Posted by: Fed Jul 6 2020, 03:52 PM

I haven't got any parts yet Frank, I'm still searching pipe fittings & couplings that I could use without any machining at all.
Covid put a damper on things but I thought I might get the ball slowly rolling again without breaching my containment bubble.

Found a place over at Revesby Edcon Steel
https://www.edconsteel.com.au/
They will cut to length for I think a few bucks & they have lazer cut disks in 5mm so I'd need 4 of them. Just when I had it pretty figured out they shut down their website & revamped it so now I have to re-register and get talking to them.
I ordered a 12mm high tensile bolt & nuts and it turned up galvanised and I suspect that will gall if I try and pull a few tons on it.
Have to go to threaded rod I think and cut it to length.
It's hard here as I have nothing to work with, not even a vice and I'm resisting going out anywhere due to covid because Denise has lung problems & a dose of Covid could kill her or ME fir that matter.

So my little "at arms length" project rolls slowly on, hang in there.

But all the sets I can find are too big to do the smallest bushes so I won't buy one unless I can find a set to do the whole job.

In the list on my earlier post there are 2 pushers & 2 receivers to do my 2 different size bushes.

Depending on the model if it a ul tech 1080 it should have come with it own software with has a auto setup wizard , you shouldn't need to do port forwarding unless it really required by the camera as that is just opening a port for hackers.
here a good video if you think you need one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K6jMYBfuIY
Port forwarding is just opening a specified port via the router for selected operations, but I don't recommend unless its necessary.

Posted by: Fed Jul 12 2020, 03:00 PM

My take from that video Oz is that I don't need port forwarding.
Maybe I should contact some of the generic app makers and request compatibility for Denise's tablet.
I did try side loading a couple of android apps to her tablet but on running they would not parse (whatever that means).
I have sort of achieved my goal, spend $50 on a camera to find out what camera I should buy, tricks & traps.

the best ones that I know for android are

Tiny Cam it the best I reckons
IP com Viewer Pro not bad
onvi ip camera monitor a simple program but doesn't have the options of the other two.


you can get all three from Amazon or the Play store.

what tablet is it android or my hate one Apple.

onvif setup comes back as "unable to resolve IP address"

Posted by: oz man Jul 13 2020, 08:39 PM

you have it set up on your router don't you.
If so then it a matter of applying the ip given by the router and to set it as a static address..

try this one it great you can get the free version for android or the pro is only about $10.00

Posted by: Fed Jul 15 2020, 04:11 PM

XP Pro SP3, the one you gave me.

Tinycam app gives the same results, scan can't find a camera and if I manually enter IP details it still can't find the camera.

As a side note 'bluestacks' won't run on my computer either so I can't install 360Eyes on it.

Tinycam also reports my router has a known vulnerability called MIRAI.

Tinycam app gives the same results, scan can't find a camera and if I manually enter IP details it still can't find the camera.

As a side note 'bluestacks' won't run on my computer either so I can't install 360Eyes on it.

Tinycam also reports my router has a known vulnerability called MIRAI.

gee how long a go was that I did for you.

If you need windows 7 or 10 let me know

oh Mirai

Mirai (Japanese: 未来, lit. 'future') is a malware that turns networked devices running Linux into remotely controlled bots that can be used as part of a botnet in large-scale network attacks. It primarily targets online consumer devices such as IP cameras and home routers. The Mirai botnet was first found in August 2016 by MalwareMustDie, a white hat malware research group, and has been used in some of the largest and most disruptive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, including an attack on 20 September 2016 …

Is there an easy button Oz?

I don't know if my router has got it but if it has I'll keep it as a pet.

go to
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/

and download Junk removal tool, adware and Combofix

Just as an aside does anyone remember this?

A passenger ferry service operated in Botany Bay between Kurnell and La Perouse from the 1890s until 1974 after the wharves were damaged in a storm.


I have zero memory of a ferry between Kurnel & Lapa in the 70s at all.

It's only reported as a vulnerability Oz.

I lived at Kurnell on the waterfront for several years in 1970 onwards, a few hundred metres from the wharf. I don't ever recall a ferry service there, but like you, I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday either.

A tiny glimmer of hope, the camera now displays in colour after a camera re-boot.

My next trick will be to remove the existing camera software & account then do a hard reset by pushing the secret button with a paperclip.
Then start from scratch using alternative software that will also run on the Samsung tablet and something that will run on XP as a bonus.

On it goes at a snail's pace.

COVID-19 an E.L.E. stalking the World, it's the only answer that make's sense.

Does it work now

Posted by: Fed Aug 19 2020, 02:36 PM

I think I'm snookered until they expand the 360eyes app or one of the generic apps to be compatible with the tablet and camera Oz.

I did come across a thread on the whirlpool forums that suggested these UL-Tech cameras are some how different to 'normal' IP cameras, just my bad luck if it's true.

It sounds that way.
