@matigo Well, until the Caucasian race arrived in Oz, there was ZERO population of water buffalo here.
@matigo North American beasties are bison, as I understand it. These critters are descendants of both riverine & swamp type Asian water buffalo and extend from China across Asia & into southern regions of Europe, such as the Balkans & Italy.
And anyway, the place was full of bloody tourists, of which demographic I do not consider myself to belong. I’m a potential repeat purchaser. Just mot at those prices. And they charge for cheese tastings, other places don’t. Not going back.
Cheese place I visited was too expensive. Tasting plates with crackers & samples of 4 cheeses was $32. Other places charge $10 for 8 to 10 different cheeses which add up to more than ½ the weight of those at the pricy place.
Corrugated gravel road. Uphill. 2nd gear was too high a ratio for that particular spot, so I changed down to bottom gear. Instead of scrabbling madly for traction as previous vehicles have, this one activated the traction control and proceeded along with minimal wheelspin.
If I associate my credit card with the EezyWash iOS/Android app I can buy time or cleaning services at my local car wash centre without needing to use coins or tokens. Not sure how it works at the car wash equipment end though.
Off on a cheese-hunting expedition to a factory an hour away. They do goat & cow’s milk. Another 5 km away is a supermarket that sells water buffalo-milk cheese from a cheesery that’s at least 4 hours away by car. Plus there’s a chocolate factory nearby.
I have a large portable evaporative cooler connected to the mains power via a remote controlled power adaptor. Lately, the remote controller hasn’t been working. A few minutes ago I started dismantling the device to see if there were any loose connections. With the first of three screws partially removed, I spotted a code reset button. Pressing this restored functionality to the controller.
@gtwilson Feeling for you, buddy. My own injuries from the collision 4 weeks ago that killed my last car have mostly subsided. The visible bruising on my chest & belly (from the pyrotechnically-activated seatbelt pretensioner) have gone but the groin strain is still somewhat evident.
