Okay everyone

Same as usual. My telling everyone what to do. I'm a bossy knob I know.

This time it's not fitness related.


Time to change your water storage. It's coming up to winter and the temp changes will mean frozen pipes and crap like that. We're already dropping into single digit figures here, so this may be one of the last changes to change your water before winter hits.

For those of you worried/paranoid about being tracked. Change 3-5 litres a day, then one to three times a week have a big 80 litre change.

The reason for doing this is simple. It will just follow your normal water usage pattern, but with a bath now and again. Simple.

Right, that's all I really had to say about this.

Next update on when to change water will be in about 4-5 month time. Cold temps mean you don't have to change your water as much....if it's kept cool.

Would it not make more sense to start using up your summer petrol and diesel stocks and waiting for 15th NOV when you can refill with winterised fuel???

Already cleaned and sterilized the water barrel (thanks to my new best friend Milton).
I'll wait till the first frosts before filling the 120 liter tank though.

I had also checked my two "under the sink" 5 liter bottles of water.
Both over a year old and tasted slightly "brackish".
Seemed I didn't put enough bleach in last time.
Cleaned out, currently sterilizing.
1 1/2 more ticks on the "things to do list" coming up to winter.

Too expensive this year for me to do that .
Guess I'll be adding a shot of unleaded to my diesel Jerry cans again if I have to use them.

Incidentally, found an interesting article on Diesel fuel in instapedia.com.

Do a search for diesel fuel.

Useful tips and info especially about 1D and 2D diesel standards.

I'll be rotating my beer stocks this evening. Have to keep them fresh.

You're well ahead of me..... I'm still testing to see which variety of beer I want to stock pile.

I've been rigerously testing for years and years and still haven't quite worked out which one will be best...... I suppose I'll just have to keep testing :-)
