  1. Things could be worse; like having to get to Gold three years in a row before reaching Diamond again. That happened to me in 2010, when my oldest was born. Wife didn’t do the health assessment and we finished the year on Silver. We got back to Diamond in 2013.

     

    At least that rule has been replaced by a single year now.

     

    I am on gold for 2 years now.  The plan was to do the 3 year thing to get to Diamond but it sounds like that's not a thing anymore?

     

    Is the only way to get to Diamond now to hit the required points in a single year?

  2. Which way are you heading now ?

     

     

    Been in the Uppington to Pofadder areas for work over the last few years.  2018 I even got to ride my MTB on some farms ....  Last February I even worked at the Kaxu solar power plant (super impressive, but not allowed to post those pics) ....

     

    Can post this pic I took out of the plane of the Khi plant though ...

     

     

    Die fotos laat my nou erg verlang na daai vlaktes !!

     

    Waar die f*kols 'n meter hoog groei en oral is ...   :D

  3. Check out namola.com. the size of a remote, panic button, GPS tracking, can receive calls, but not make them. Very affordable,just check coverage in your area. We bought one for our daughter who studies in Stellenbosch and is a diabetic.

     

    Nice, didn't know about this.

     

    Edit:  I cycle with my iPhone XR in my back pocket so the wife can get my location if I get into trouble.  Running with a phone, I wont even consider.

  4. Yes most alarms run on 12V.  imho, better to keep your alarm system/beams on a separate battery.

     

    The higher the inverter input voltage the better (more efficient, hence less energy loss).  I'm on 24V but 48 or even 96V would be better, but that imply a lot of batteries (x 12V) to get there which is expensive.

  5. Guess I was lucky so far, very good service.  I do however agree, they need to get into 2021 and update their system to be a "True Online" shop.

     

    This order, wait for a quote, then pay & ship "thing" they use is ridiculous & totally OLD.

     

    Do a physical shop and/or proper online shop.  Don't do this in between sort of thing !

  6. I started with an 2500 W (5000 peak) pure sine inverter with 4 x 180 Ah batteries (AGM).  I connected them in series + parallel since my inverter is 24V input.

     

    My DB is also wired to auto switch (relay) between grid and inverter, cutting out the geyser & stove from the circuit when on inverter.

     

    The plan is to later add some solar panels, but for now I simply keep my batteries charged and that get me through most power cuts.  From previous outages, look like I can get to about 12 hours until my battery voltage will drop below 22V.

     

    When that happen, my geni is also wired into the DB with a manual switch over between inverter and geni.

     

    So far so good.

  7. 6 runs from this last over...

     

    55 required off 66 balls, 5 wickets remaining.

     

    Run-a-ball should be doable, if INDIA wanted to.

     

    Correct, "if they want to", hopefully not like the Proteas that will opt 9/10 times rather play for the draw.

  8. You're trying to do too much in one step, that means you'll always make mistakes.

     

    Paper and ink is cheap, write down a single step at a time.  e.g. If you have the square root of 36 in one line, repeat the whole line and just change that single term to 6.

     

    Nobody gets marks for writing down fewer steps, you only get marks for the right answer

     

    I think the OP was sorted long ago ...   :whistling:

  9. Looking for a 700mm +- bar and 60mm to 80mm stem please. Something with a rise will be great. 

     

    Converting my IDT from road to a more MTB setup. My shoulders can't deal with this road bar vibe.

     

    I have a Easton handle bar, 680mm, 30mm rise, 35mm clamp.  Not going to use it again, you can have it for free if interested.  Few little scratches, still in good condition.

     

    Only have 2 long stems (110 & 120) and neither are 35mm clamp.
