I'm guessing that GAMA = MAMOFA, ie miles and miles of [not very much].
If it was my post to which you refer UP, it is GAFA.

South African dogs are the biggest racists of them all or rather they echo the insecurities of their masters. Go into a black township as a white and the dogs will bark at you and attempt to savage you just as much as they would if you were some black gentleman wandering through the hallowed streets of some pristine mostly white suburb. Great thing is the dog is still the same lovable, faithful fool whatever the case. The humans not so much.

Morning folks. Unfortunately we are one Rhodesian Ridgeback down this morning. She didn't make it through the night. The other two will miss her. They may have a wake and dine out on a few locals.

Solar system problems again. It doesn't seem to like having the generator on. This has been on and off constantly with all the power tools they are using on the ship.

Warmer today but cloudy.

We had 3 Scotties. The old bitch, a new bitch we bought in. The third was one of the new bitch's pups we kept.

The pup adored old bitch and became her ears when she became deaf. She didn't mope when old bitch died. When her mother died quite young at 9 however she really miles for days afterwards.

Once had a holiday in the British Virgin Isles, and drove my friends Mini Moke - an open topped vehicle - with his Labrador dog in the back, The dog only barked at black people as we drove by, and not in a friendly, tail wagging manner, either.

Morning all,
Normal CdS and warm 27c rising.
Sad news *ExA*

Gestoria has sent me a form to show to my pension provider, it worked for another client to establish that my pension comes from an annuity.
The tax advantage is substantial and she seems to think I will get a rebate. Watch this space, my money is on my provider not playing ball.

My dogs have been having a barkothon since 07.00 every now and then they let rip, no idea what they think they have seen.
Nothing NR here.

Out first to pharmacia and sundry other tasks.

Just been to the safari camp for drinkies. They didn't know about our neighbour's dog. They were also very fond of her.

This ship is not going to be finished by Friday. One thinks that more dosh may be required. Painter arrived today. Good decision on the green paint for the ceiling of the main deck. Problem is if anyone get pissed they may look up and think that they are looking at grass.

One hippo sighted yesterday on the lagoon.

Are you going to rechristen Squiffy Pussy (no name change)? A bit like reiterating one's vows of marriage and an excuse, if one was needed, to quaff some grog.

Ex-A: re power problems.

If possible, use the generator exclusively for the power tools in a dedicated circuit. The. heavy loads affect its frequency and voltage, and the inverter can't cope with that.

Thank you BB. That is the conclusion we are coming to. We are doing that now. We still have a problem where we had a power cut this morning where the voltage was above the cut out point.

The bar has just been taken back onto the ship :YMPARTY:

If anyone understands all this ***** this is what has happened in the last 24 hrs with the solar:
