I set up a honda motor on the back of a water truck to pump the water out into sprayers on the back. (gx390) Despite being under cover, the air filter has its own rain cover as well, the mist caused by the sprayers is being sucked into the filter.

Current solution is to wash filter out with petrol and oil up the outer filter with 2stroke fuel every day. The filter then dries out for the day and we run the alternate filter. Works well. Except that noone who drives the truck ever actually does this.
They have been told and told, but the driver changes constantly, and they all "just grab the truck to use it for 5 minutes".
Sick of having problems with it.

How can I

Spent an afternoon well, looking at how different brand bass guitars are made. The different approaches are fascinating.
Thought I'd share some.

What's the go knackers? Keep your cutlery to yourselves, would Ya's?

Driving around on the Mornington peninsula, Absolutely dying for a Vietnamese pork roll - don't tell me I have to go all the way to Springvale!
Is there any places that make them around here?

So I had an X-ray the other day.
Instead of just paying the bill I was handed a docket with a stamp on it that said that should wait for a cheque from Medicare to be sent to me and then forward that cheque to the X-ray along with any extra money owed.

A week later I received the Medicare cheque and on it it says that when I pay the rest of the bill and receive the receipt that I should forward proof to Medicare and they will reimburse a further amount to me.

Seriously?

X-ray lab sends details to Medicare.
Medicare sends cheque to me.
I send cheque and money to X-ray lab.
X-ray lab sends receipt to me.
I send receipt to Medicare.

I just bought a cheap accoustic bass online.
Wow.
Surprisingly good tone, but action high enough to slice off my fingers!
I wanted something that I can knock around with and not have to worry about dings or scratches so much. As such it doesn't need perfection, just playability! I've had a thrash on it and it's cool, but too far away from the low strung basses I'm used to. I get that it's a cheap piece of junk, but I think with a set up it could be passable and a lot of fun.

Feel free to suggest that I get it professionally set up - I know. Feel free to suggest never buying a guitar sight unplayed - I know.
What can I say? It was dirt cheap, hence I am
