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.

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.

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

Boat gone today. Wonder if I need another one?

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

You want to buy a boat?

[kkw]

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

Fed. I could have a possible buyer for your boat IF you do decide you want to part with it. Let me know as this bloke is in the market for a similar boat to yours at the moment.

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.

[kkw]

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?

[kkw]

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....

[Fed]

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.
Have you suffered any seller's remorse yet>

Does anyone have any experience with IP security cameras here?

FED... OZ Man Might know a bit about them

[kkw]

Have you suffered any seller's remorse yet>

In a word, yes.

[Fed]

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.

[oz man]

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.

[Fed]

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!

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.
