We are talking Kwinana!!

I found a lovely small Penn fishing reel on Ebay last year. bit of a vintage item in realy good nick. I was so excited when it arived, I bolted into the post office to pick it up. I already new which rod it was going on and what line I would load it with.
My excitement buble busted as soon as I opened the box and realised it was left handed

Overhead or eggbeater?

If you cast with your right hand then lefthand wind is the correct way...

Eggbeater, and its not one where you can reverse the crankhandle so its left handed for ever.

That's one school of thought,

I can cast from either hand depending on where I want to land my lures although I am a lot more acurate casting with the right hand, within a nano second of casting the rod is back in my left hand and my right hand is on the crank handle.

The problem with the lefty is that I cant comfortably turn the bugger with my left hand.
Thats why they make left handed any things...

yeah I had to train myself but now I got the hang of it

I came home from work one time to my loving wife with a great big smile on her face telling me she had found some sliced up granit off cuts for FREE that SHE was going to crazy pave the front yard with
OK that sounds great love so we hook the trailer up and off we go
6 TRAILER LOADS LATER the front yard crazy paved stacked to about 300mm high
now move 18 months on the crazy paving hasn't changed at all I can't cut the lawn it's only around 2 foot high and my beautiful wife has let me stack it up in the corner of the yard (2 days work) all neat and tidy so I can mow the lawn and make the place look tidy again.

Hey... if she's been too slack to do what she said she was going to.. then she should move the pavers... and mow the lawn....

Don't know about ridiculous but certainly frustrating. I decided about 2 yrs ago to buy a mulcher/chipper because it looked like it would be really useful. $900 15hp shipped from Qld.

It arrived and it was fairly simple to assemble, key start and off it went. Put a branch down the side shute and there was a bang and then thump thump thump. Opened the bottom grate and out fell a lump of pounded steel. I eventually took the thing to bits and found that the side anvil had been improperly welded and part had been sheared off by the side cut blade.

Took a couple of pics and sent them off to the seller with a description. They were very apologetic and said they would send out a replacement part. A belt cover arrived by courier. Back to the seller and this went on and on. I now have one spare belt cover and two spare battery boxes and a mulcher that is stuffed.
I have given up on trying to get the right part.

Take a picture of the belt cover and spare battery boxes.... good chance he'll send you a mulcher...
