Thanks. It wasn’t to hard to find. She got it off Reverb.com. Just a simple ‘Taylor left handed’ brought up some, but not a lot. She got it used in mint condition with the nut and saddle upgraded to bone. Being left handed does make it harder to find guitars when I’m looking for a specific one, plus the left handed ones are usually more expensive than then right handed ones.

How is it on a paddle board? I’m sure you have to be careful when the wake from boats come through? That last one looks to be about pine pounds.

I have only used the paddle board in ponds and small lakes so far. Not around any boats

I take a kayak in the larger lakes

Made this video on my 39-year-old Stihl 028 AV Super. What makes it "Super", well that denotes the larger 51.5cc engine, the standard 028 AV used a 47cc engine. And the "AV", that denotes Anti-vibration, which back then was a selling point over cheaper chainsaws.

Is this to use when the power goes out? A/C etc

That's part of it, but the house runs off it overnight, so we're buying no electricity off the grid overnight, and during the day the solar panels power the house and charge the battery. But when there's a black out, it only powers the kitchen circuit, and lights. I think that's to give you the essentials, but also so you don't drain it too fast running stuff you don't really need. We're also going to change power company soon, there's one that analyses our usage and figures out what is excess to our needs, and sells it, at a premium, back to the grid during peak usage times, which is at night when everyone is cooking and watching TV etc, but also when solar panels aren't generating any power.

How much do they give you back per kW? We have them when they where doing that big roll out year's back, everybody was sucked into.

Dad wanted his panels in the paddock on a turn table so you get 360° sun BUT the local council said its to dangerous...

We got solar panels almost 5 years ago, back then they payed 12-13 cents per kWh, but it's dropped every year since as more and more rooftop solar comes online, so at the moment it's fixed at about 5c with Energy Australia, but they charge us about 29cfor what we use, sounds like a farking scam doesn't it. Now we have a battery we will switch to Amber Energy, my nephew is already with them and making money. Their feed in tariff is variable and tied to the wholesale rate which changes every half hour, but it averages 27c at the moment, it can spike during high demand, like those super hot days when everyone has the A/C on, they've seen prices as high as $1 per kWh. There is a monthly charge to use Amber, but that's how they make their money.
 
Not entirely an even match here, but this is an edited 028 vs 500i....................


The below video was posted 14-days ago, easily the fastest growth in views I have achieved so far. Just on 6000 views is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but for me its massive. To be clear, I'm not making videos to generate income, get free stuff, or to become famous. I'm just too shy and self-conscious to stand in front of a camera, or play the Youtube game, you know, the "like and subscribe" brigade. Rather, it's a way of keeping my mind active, a new challenge to explore. At the moment, I'm deep in chainsaw land, but detailing content will have a comeback at some stage as well.

It's funny how these things can take off, all that you need is one person to share it, and then it can take off. Most of mine are under a hundred, there's a couple over 1k, some a little higher, and 1 that's at 107k, a white lion playing like a house cat. But they've all been up a long time, like 15 years plus. Here's one I completely forgot about, you might enjoy it, it was a Ford car club show that was held near where I lived in Sydney, it was open to other brands as well, please ignore the beetle in the middle, I really liked the true flame job it had.
