    Mike, just to let you know, I got a message from " you " telling me to get in touch via telegram, of course I am going to ignore said reply, it was a comment on the go pro v dji video. Just letting you know the spammers are back. All the best from a bloody warm Western Australia summers night.

    Then Murphy and his Gremlin friends showed up concerning the water pump.

    I think I would have considered starting the 555 to raise the bucket and securely prop it up out of the way. Perhaps by looping the rad hoses before starting it but you did it the “easy way”. 🤣😂🤣😂
