This is a hobby, I like taking photos and a weblog is a good way of learning how to write. I show off stuff around Ingham, NQ, and other parts of Australia when I get around to travelling. I'm not so busy these days as cataracts have reduced the joy I used to have being able to see things but hopefully that will improve and have me more active again soon.

Mulching trials.
I've had a bit of a test making a mulching plate to use instead of the chute on the mower, the blades appear suitable for mulching. It started out easy with me just whacking a bit of sheetmetal over the hole and two pop rivets at the front and one behind, as well as an extra plate on top to cover the hole. Instant fail.
Then I tried an extra pop rivet at the rear to strengthen it. Slightly slower fail.
Hmm thinks a bit more about it and decides to put an extra plate inside to stop clippings being wedged into the rear where the pop rivets were stressed. It seems successful now but early days yet.
