Solar

 The batteries for our solar system arrived today.  The plan was for the driver to ring us an hour before he arrived so we could get Bob from down the road to bring the 'forklift', but no, the delivery guy rang us from 10 minutes down the road. Mad panic "ring Bob", his wife answered she said she would track him down,. So in comes this massive semi, the driver got out and slid the side panels across, and there all on their lonesome were our two boxes of batteries!! We were the last delivery for the day, he left Melbourne at 6am and by the time he had done the deliveries it was 4pm,(we are 5 hours from Melb)...I dont why anyone should be expected to drive all day. Anyway all was good he was happy, we were happy...........oh oh wheres Bob? These batteries are 140kg each with four in each box, come on Bob!

No need to worry, here he comes, chug chug up the road.  Cracked a can of beer and got stuck into the job. Now as you know I'm a/was city girl I was expecting Bob to drive down in a little truck with a fork lift on the back. Ha Ha dumb me duh!...this is what a forklift looks like in the country?....I thought it was a tractor!. Never mind I will know next time...Good on ya Bob your a legend and thank-you.
