Well life goes on here in the Daintree rain forest in Far North Queensland (FNQ) which also has another meaning about #@! nothing quickly OZ.

Assembled and monitoring my fridge.
My salvage Detroit generator is an ongoing project, I now have it up and running, wired into my power system via it's own switch board and then the inverter but not auto start by the inverter yet. I opted for a separate switch board because it gives me the best possible chance to maintain a water supply in the event of a house fire, up here that is important.

Little problems keep cropping up like fuel in the sump so today I swopped the fuel lift pump off the spare engine, since this is the most likely suspect.
I know it was a while ago but new years eve here was a blast.
