17:00 <DragonMaster> yea finally 
17:00 <DragonMaster> :p

18:00 <DragonMaster> before that was a caravan park
19:00 <DragonMaster> and yer we have been around lol
19:00 <Bonny> well you'll finally settle
20:00 <DragonMaster> we even lived at a back packers in Southport back on the coast for a long time 2
20:00 <Bonny> that's hard with kids
21:00 <DragonMaster> been everywhere we finally get into crisis accommodation and it's dirt cheap and even got 2 months rent free here
21:00 <Bonny> cool
21:00 <Bonny> the community housing is a % of your benefits isn't it?
22:00 <DragonMaster> yer pretty much the same shot we doing now here it's %30 of your income
22:00 <Bonny> that's great.. :)
23:00 <Bonny> I pay a bit more towards my mortgage but I don't have a big mortgage so the interest rate rises hasn't hit me too hard
24:00 <eddie> hope you had a great day :)
24:00 <Bonny> hey eddie
24:00 <Bonny> yeah I had a quiet one in bed.. recovering from my back injury
25:00 <DragonMaster> might be 25% so maybe cheaper
25:00 <Bonny> even better
25:00 <eddie> I have been busy busy busy the last 2 days, several hours each day painting door frames (laundry and garage doors and laundry window frame)... also today repaired a leaking tap fitting as well as a saddle that rusted away/
25:00 <DragonMaster> I know where we are now is %30
26:00 <Bonny> even 30% is still good
26:00 <Bonny> wow busy eddie
27:00 <eddie> I saved some $115 this week not buying petrol  used to cost me $120 a week to motor around the place..
27:00 <eddie> yes busy as all... slept super well last night 
27:00 <eddie> and I am sure I will sleep real good tonight as well 
27:00 <Bonny> did you buy an electric car?
28:00 <eddie> yep
28:00 <Bonny> how much do you pay to fill it?
28:00 <eddie> swap over from the ASX was only 24k
28:00 <Bonny> that's cheap
29:00 <eddie> how much ?  at most $12 maybe but I have used solar here so basically nothing at this time
30:00 <Bonny> wow cool
30:00 <eddie> I have been promised 4.5kw of panels so I am goinf to build an off-grid system with batteries so the car can charge at night for free from the battery charged free from the sun..
32:00 <Bonny> great
35:00 <DragonMaster> how long does a electrical cars battery last
35:00 <DragonMaster> eww trout
35:00 <eddie> my ev battery has a 8 year gntee 
36:00 <eddie> several EVs in china have done in excess of 350,000 km the battery is still perfect but the xar body, seats are shot..
37:00 <DragonMaster> how many km till you have to recharge the battery
38:00 <eddie> 450 - 480km in this one.. tesla long range about 750km (depending on how you drive)
39:00 <DragonMaster> sounds good
40:00 <DragonMaster> I'm getting tired of paying $2.08 per litre 
40:00 <Bonny> yeah that's expensive
40:00 <eddie> most people do usually 50 to 60km a day.. 
41:00 <eddie> I have seen fuel 91ron at $2.10 per liter here..
41:00 <DragonMaster> my problem is the stupid M1 motorway always being congested 
42:00 <eddie> electric on slow "freeways" aka long skinny carparks use less energy 
43:00 <DragonMaster> by the time I do my 20km waiting 30 minutes or more my half tank of fuel ison qaurtrr
44:00 <eddie> I worked out that if my old ASX if it was 98% efficent I should have been able to get 1800km per tank full.. but ICE wastes 80% of the energy as heat.
45:00 <DragonMaster> I'm looking to buy something else better in a couple more months time to get rid of the v6 commodore
47:00 <DragonMaster> I was thinking about a hybrid car coz I wasn't sure about electric cars as there still new to me 
48:00 <eddie> umm a hybrid is a good start to reduce fuel use, or even a cheap second hand nissan leaf electric car (can be obtained for arround 5k for a good one with some 200km range).
49:00 <eddie> a bloke in Perth bought one from brisbane and had iot driven to Perth (took a week and half but the old bloke that drove it was not in a rush or wanted to drive too far each day).
49:00 <eddie> time for a evening snack.. 
50:00 <eddie> baclk later..
50:00 <DragonMaster> that's where I am in brisbane
50:00 <DragonMaster> okay mate
25:00 <DragonMaster> Bonny knockers
25:00 <Bonny> yes DragonMaster ?

21:00 <DragonMaster> I'm not sure Wether or not to scare Stacey by giving her a wet lick on her cheeck
21:00 <Bonny> lol
21:00 <DragonMaster> I'll probably get punched coz she's fast aslee0
22:00 <Bonny> better leave her be
22:00 <Bonny> lol

24:00 <TwistedBlister42> but that reminds me to take off the external hard drive and put it on my pc one
24:00 <DragonMaster> well now TwistedBlister42 the answer to my question where abouts in Brisbane are you from
24:00 <TwistedBlister42> i'm down on the south side near Ipshit
25:00 <DragonMaster> ahh 
25:00 <TwistedBlister42> or as we call it Brown Stains (Plains)

26:00 <DragonMaster> auchenflower
30:00 <TwistedBlister42> ah yeah Auchenflower
30:00 <TwistedBlister42> i call it cauliflower
30:00 <TwistedBlister42> did you get that storm that just hit us down here in Logan
31:00 <DragonMaster> sure did
35:00 <TwistedBlister42> hopefully it goes out to sea
35:00 <TwistedBlister42> Brisbane weather was saying on FB there was a tornado out west of Toowoomba
36:00 <DragonMaster> it's probably why we are getting hit by the after skirts of it
37:00 <TwistedBlister42> yeah thats what i thought too
39:00 <TwistedBlister42> theres nothing on the radar
39:00 <TwistedBlister42> so i think the storms have passed
41:00 <DragonMaster> let's hope they passed and it doesn't come with a swirly
42:00 <DragonMaster> Toowoomba isn't that far when you think about it
44:00 <TwistedBlister42> true
44:00 <TwistedBlister42> 2 hrs from where i am
46:00 <TwistedBlister42> ffs at pets going outside to pee and come in and she now is soaked
47:00 <TwistedBlister42> i need to wipe her down she has had feline flu
48:00 <DragonMaster> damn cats
49:00 <TwistedBlister42> yeah but she is also almost 15
49:00 <TwistedBlister42> so i need to keep an eye on her
49:00 <TwistedBlister42> if it was a dog she would have shook herself dry and all over the floor
49:00 <DragonMaster> wow had her for a long time
50:00 <DragonMaster> has she got a deep meow sound 
50:00 <TwistedBlister42> its a girly sweet one lol
50:00 <Bonny> lol
50:00 <DragonMaster> haha
50:00 <TwistedBlister42> slight growly but she doesn't always use her meows
51:00 <TwistedBlister42> she just follows us around and then flops on bed with him for her pats
51:00 <TwistedBlister42> boyfriend stealing cat
51:00 <TwistedBlister42> lol
51:00 <TwistedBlister42> i get stink eyed if i call her that
51:00 <DragonMaster> haha
54:00 <DragonMaster> all tho I was never much of a cat person but I won't harm someone's pet ones I just don't like the feral cats
54:00 <TwistedBlister42> some are sweet like Tortie
