"If you want positive search results, do positive things. If you don't want negative search results, don't do negative things." "And to some of my colleagues across the aisle, if you're getting bad press articles and bad search results, don't blame Google or Facebook or Twitter — consider blaming yourself," he added.

Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 15,123 Member For: 9y 2m 24d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 12/12/18 02:52 AM Share Posted 12/12/18 02:52 AM Cos I've got 3 phase the solar place just got more approved in case I want more later. I'm only getting 10.5kw at this stage with one inverter. The roofer reckons we're the first job into the new year, so that should be done before the end of January and then the solar can go on immediately after. But yes, it is expensive.

Solar is pretty great. You'd think it'd make you feel less guilty about having the aircon on, but now that I can monitor my usage I find I'm more inclined to open up windows and doors in the evening to cool the house down if there's a breeze, as I can see just how much power it's using with the aircon on. I'll run it like a champ during the day, though! In other news, so glad both Bali trips are over - already expressed my desire to visit other places in future (without directly saying I think Bali is a sh!thole). Now just need to get through Christimas, then the friend who's been staying with the missus for 3 months goes home and hopefully life should settle down a little bit.

So where ya going next? How about Antarctica? Not many people could say they went there for a holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a 'Sip & Cycle' wine tour on Saturday - riding a pushbike to each wine tasting, so that should be fun. Other than that, not sure. Doing Tassy next Christmas I think? But I'm honestly not going to have the money to do any big trips anytime soon. Leaving my old job left me having to pay them back for a semester of uni, plus find the money for the remaining two semesters of the course before the end of this financial year...that combined with Christmas and I do still have a few grand to pay back from the original renovations I did to my house when I bought it that I balance transferred So the money I spent on solar could have really helped out otherwise currently, come to think of it...

Even if it doesn't pay for last semester but pays for the rest of the course, it'd help out, no pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well mate, I'm sure you have it under control. 1 hour ago, .Stripes. said: Sip & Cycle In my early 20's I used to ride everywhere around Adelaide and was super fit from it. One time I got hella goonerated with some mates and rode my pushy (a road bike) like a freakin maniac through traffic, pulling wheelies and endos where ever I could. Heh fun times.
