Summer here has been a real mixed lot. No doubt you guys have seen footage of the fires and heard that we experienced extreme temperatures of over 46c - 125f+.
But day to day varies so much. Anne was only saying recently, that she packs two lots of clothes - day to day is so different.
The big dry is still here - we may need to build a Route 66 to get away from the dust bowls and head east or west.. 
Stay safe
Bernie

G'Day Folks,
I'm changing the subject somewhat. I work inthe power industry and am curious about the US power supplies. I like to look at "Garage Journal". it's about sorting your garage and shows some amazing set-ups. What I'm trying to understand is the general power supplies available in the general domestic situation. I have read 110v, 220v and 400 v. Here in Aus. 240v is standard...415v is industrial and special for the house/ shed (3 Phase for the spa, giant air con...or maybe a welder ). Can anyone give me the low down on what's the common USA supply setup. By the way does anyone know someone that works in a power station that I can have a yarn with.

Rob,
I do, but as I am in Australia only know about as much as you. There single phase is 110vac 60hz, I think there is a domestic 3 phase around 220vac. Like you said there is also 3 phase around 380 - 400v.

110 V 60 cycle is common house current that runs most appliances, TV's, Radio's, Computer's, and lights. Most A/C units operate on 220 V as do many welders, electric dryers, generators, or heavy duty shop equipment. 440 V is pretty much industrial.
Since I am not an electrician I am guessing here when I say most household devises are single phase where as the heavy duty stuff normally use multi-phase power sources.

Since Mulv has extensive experience with USA style power...
We have 60 cycle 110-120 - 115 v average single phase supply that covers about 90% of domestic items 2 or 3 wire ground dependant
We have 220-240v dual phase / neutral for things like welders and clothes dryers.. 3 wire
We have 220-240 3 phase / ground for large electric motors that are phase wound like in large computer discs and trolly cars 4 wire
We have 380 v Y connected for some office lamps
We have 415 delta connected for more efficient office lighting..
Just assume that any item of low current will be 115 and any item of high current will be 220
Now it is clear, yes? 
Cheers
Mulv

I think that Bernie will concur that I am indeed "Spaced Out" ..... 
You are welcome Rob! The 5 minute mark more or less is Mulv in my underpowered Mustang. Bernie took a ride in that anemic auto.. His hair was black when he got in...
That show has 8 rows of cars, generally about 300-500 every week, no fees , no trophies - just car guys who show up to have fun and shoot the breeze..
Cheers
Steve

You mean this car?
The Corvette engine went kablooey, so the replacement is a lot more powerful and can easily keep up with old ladies in Buicks...

Mulv,
Looking forward to taking on those 'little old ladies from Scottsdale' at the lights.
The Corvette is looking good. Did you do some body work as well as an engine build.. 
Look after it for me - I'm looking forward to bringing it over here..

I would contact 'RCR' who have a variety of options. They have an add on this forum. Craigf White in Queensland Australia is the closest agent to you.
The SLC coupe would suit...
