Thanks gents, yeah I left her so we could stay close friends, otherwise it would end up messy. I'm ok, just getting a bit lonely after moving bush by myself.

Been there many decades ago myself mate, best advise i can give is to stay busy. Good luck

 

[Matturbo]

Yep my shop keeps me busy, and I can hunt and shoot at home and there's sapphire and a bit of gold very close to home. always something to do

 

[Chewy]

Sorry to hear that mate. Hang in there and look after yaself.

 

[G0lddigg@]

good on you mate, takes balls sometimes to walk away before it gets real messy.

As things die sometimes you have to let them go. This old bilge pump has been with me for 4 years its been rewired many times and its had a hard life. Today she fired her last twirl and let go. Rip old girl

Feel free to share your pain as your tools give up... i bet theres some crackers out there

Mate, i'm mortified. I can't believe your tool has finally given up the ghost 8.(

Reminds me of the time nana told grandfather that his fly was undone. "Don't worry," he said, "the dead bird doesn't leave the nest."

Sorry for your loss GD :/

Check out Johnson bilge pumps.
I got two - very happy with them - easy to clean the impeller if it gets clogged.

*they are expensive compared to some eBay pumps tho...

 

[G0lddigg@]

Thanks mate she was an old johnson

 

[Tathradj]

Bilge pumps built like Johnson are a life dependent device.
But nothing beats a frightened mariner with a bucket. :lol:

Apparently I overexagerated a bit the boss tells me I only had em for 9 years. My feet are probly a bit hairy for the old duct tape fix
