Breakfast with Gary and Tim.
Sam Edmund 0:10
If you live the life you please. Going to have a chat with him as well. Tuesday takeaways, your calls and text messages. Always welcome. As I say, good morning. The Whisp, Tim Watson. Whispers. Good morning, Gary. Good morning, everybody. Nice drop of rain down here on the peninsula last night. Was it? A blue and a blue and a blue. And I got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water, stepped into a puddle. So the roof is leaking and I've got to fix that. Gary, can you come down here and give me a hand? I am. I'm actually coming down there today. I also have got some stuff I need to do. I ran out of power. My magnificent off-the-grid system, I wandered down on Saturday just to watch a bit of footy and light the fire.
Sam Edmund 1:14
And I don't know what's going on. What happened? I don't know. With my beautiful off-grid system, we've been running magnificently for seven years. Something happened. And then I went out with my glasses on. To fix it? Trying to fix it. Yeah. Did you find the manual? Solar off-the-grid system. I saw there's some instructions that were left by the people I bought the property from, so I ran through that process, got the power back on for about eight seconds. Right. So there's something going on. So I have to go down there today as well. Well, you wouldn't have been able to do any of that had you not been able to fix the panel there at SEN. All that time you spent with the techos last week, you put it into good use.
Sam Edmund 1:56
Well done. Yeah, that's right. You must have been taking notice while they were telling you how to do it. Is there nothing more frustrating for non-handy men, speak for yourself, when something goes wrong? That gives me the height of frustration for me. Whether it's my computer that won't, whatever. Yeah. A height of frustration. When it's a big thing like that, it's a nightmare. You know what I did use? What did you do? I went to turn the mower on. The battery was flat. Oh, what the dickens is going on down there? Someone left it on. But you know what I used, don't you? Ah, yes. The Signet. They are the best thing that you can possibly buy. How good are they? Little jumper lead.
Tim Watson 2:36
Is that what you have? The little jumper lead one?
Sam Edmund 2:38
It's like a little portable battery charger. So you just hold it in your hand. You connect the red and the black. Push the button, zing-a-ding-ding, away I went. And that's the butcher's call. That's the butcher one, yeah.

What are the challenges of maintaining an off-grid power system?

Sam Edmund 2:53
But that's okay. That's okay. They won't mind a mention. So they fired up straightaway, quick sticks, and away I went. Away you went. You've just taken my train of thought now. I forgot what it was that I was going to say before. Oh, no, I've got to do like a power tool type instructional course. Yeah. Yeah, I'll come down and give you – I'll run through a few things with you. What can't you work? Well, I've got all the power tools. I know you have. I've got all the power tools in the world. I've got suitcases. I've got magnificent cases full of power tools. And I don't know which one connects to which and how you put that bit in there.
Unknown 3:27
You've got battery?
Sam Edmund 3:28
Are they all battery-run? Yeah, Cocky comes over, and I try and watch him really closely as to what fittings he's putting on which ones. what settings he puts them on, and I just need to do a proper course. In fact, Cocky said he saw you the other night. He was going to say hello to you. He was going to wind down the window and say hello to you in the car park.
Unknown 3:45
Where was the old Cocko?
Sam Edmund 3:46
At the MCG the other night.
Garry Lyon 3:48
He was at the MCG?
Sam Edmund 3:49
Yeah, on Friday night. He was at the MCG in the car park down there, and he saw you waltzing around. He wouldn't have been in the car park I was in, the Cocky. He was in an underground one. How did he get into an underground car park? Well, he was going up to, he's got a special box up in the grandstand, the cocky box, they call it. Is that right? The cocky perch he is. Wow.
Tim Watson 4:12
Well, you know he could have figured it out. I said, next time.
Sam Edmund 4:15
Yeah, next time. Yeah. I said, Gary's the most friendly bloke going around. He would have loved to have a tin wagon with you.
