Re: What are you doing today ??
Having a well earned beer after the fire ground training. Been lugging casualties round smoke filled modules up ladders and down stairs with internal temps in access of hundreds of degrees thanks to multiple big class A and B fires. To say I'm totally fooked now is an under statement last time I fe...

Re: The new improved fitness thread
You can't swim and you work in the middle of the ocean? Absolutley not. The lowest level of the platform is 14 m above the water, and you need all manner of permits to access the jacket legs below cellar deck, plus working at heights considerations, sea conditions etc etc. And thats in full safety ...

Sydney City2Surf
If you've had a look through the Fitness thread lately you may have noticed I'm doing a far wack of running recently. I'm currently training for the City2Surf 14 km run on the 10 August. As the name suggests it starts in the heart of the Sydney CBD and finishes out at Bondi Beach. It's a very well a...

Re: Starting problem
Plugs are about 5k old never changed the fuel filter is it in the tank attached to the pump? Yup it is mate. Easy to change, but requires you to empty tank, remove it , and remove the pump/filter assy from the bottom of the tank. I'd eliminate all the easy access stuff first, but it would be up the...

DO you know when the fuel filter was last changed? Mate had a similar problem and that was the cause in the end.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
Blood sugars were sky high (16.1) this evening, not helped by a trip to Loaf on my way back from hospital...so I went for a speedy (for me) walk - 2.52 miles in 40 minutes at an average of about 3.5mph. It had the desired effect and my sugars had dropped to normal (6.2) when I got back. I think it ...

recovery run this morning.. a lazy 11 km.. wtf.. this training plan is ramping up a fair bit. Hill (or incline out here) intervals yesterday... I told the treadmill I hated it when I walked into the gym at 4.15 am this morning. Training and 12 hr shifts are proving to be more mentally tough than I t...
