Gone fishing. On holidays for 2 weeks.

Going to the beach, because I'm over this almost daily 40+ deg heat.

Will try to post some salmon pics soon. lol.

Yesterday got to use the winch in anger and it performed perfectly.

Every time for the last 3 attempts to use it, it failed, corroded brush holders twice and remote died (the hand held wired controller was at home!).

Bellied out big time on a water diversion, couldn't go forward or back. A snatch wouldn't move the car so a double pull with the winch. It worked hard but it did the job.

That made me happy.

Haha snap!

Finished work at 4:30pm on Friday. Thought it was too early to go home so went up the local Hill for some peace n quiet and some easy tracks. Came across this sludge puddle, tried to straddle it in 2WD and slipped right in and went down down deeper and down, down to the bottom of the bullbar in fact. If I didn't have my winch, the Trol'd still be up there.

Went to see Kurt Vile on Saturday night at the Melb Zoo. Not as awsome as I was hoping, but pretty good. Glad I went.

Indie rocker from Philadelphia in the USA. His latest album shot him to fame (not mainstream) around the world, I've never seen anyone appear so unprepared for success, he really looks like it all came from nowhere.

Yea its questionable.
That pic does make it worse. Its visible from vertical and the regs say 45 either way and from square and up.
Have to get it certified yet with new suspension and weights..
I may yet get a slim plate and make a stub on the wheel hub.

I've done alot of contracting work over the past 22 years. When I first started out I used to be pretty wary of things, didn't want to sit at the wrong desk, talk to the wrong person, not finish something in time. Now I just find out where the dunny & coffee is and let rest worry about itself.

this girl was down for the count a few years ago...we had tears n troubles..with a few good people...some of them here..i was able to talk to some one and a a few more.....

the newsletter article
From the Deputies
School Based Traineeships
This year one of our Year 10 students, Ebony Williams, was able to take advantage of a
great opportunity to begin a School Based Traineeship (SBT) with the local Department
of Parks and Wildlife. Ebony participated in the PDHS Work Experience program last
year at DPaW and they were so impressed with the attitude and work ethic she
displayed then, they offered her this Traineeship.
An SBT involves a student from Year 10,11 or 12 joining the workforce for one or two
days per week ( usually one day for Year 10’s) and being paid for the time they work as
well as completing a Certificate II or III in a related area. This means that students can
still work towards completing their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)
at the end of Year 12 at school, while gaining valuable work experience, getting paid and
completing the Certificate requirements for WACE as well. SBT’s can be applied for just
like a normal job application and are set up between the school, the employer and a
separate training authority. If any parents would like further information about these
opportunities please contact the school.
Ebony works at DPaW every Friday and some weekends and Public Holidays, and she
has been able to participate in a huge variety of programs from wildlife trapping and
population monitoring to customer service at many of the local National Parks. We
would like to thank DPaW and Tracey Robbins for the opportunity and experience they
have provided for one of our students, and congratulate Ebony for being an outstanding
ambassador for our school.

Gotta love easy fixes. :D
I'm in the same boat this today... Few days ago compressor stopped working. Then the illumination on the compressor and lights switches began playing up... So today I preppared to rip apart all the wiring and begin a saga of tracing the fault ...
First things first trace the ground wire... And lo and behold... The Common ground bolt next to the compressor under the hood was very loose. Tighten up and off we go ! Ha !
I honestly set aside half a day for it. lol Beer time !

Having a couple of months supply of firewood dry and stacked in the shed makes me happy but knowing my son forked out over $700 for the new chainsaw he bought me has me saying he shouldn't have .
firewood stack is just over 7 metres long x 1.4 ish metres high , just enough for a couple of cold Victoriastan months but we're doing an 8 week trip to the corner country and beyond from May so it will be while before I use the new saw again .

Nice one, that didn't take you long. How far do you have to travel to collect it?
It's really hard to find good quality firewood close to home here so we end up getting whatever we can and burning a shit load of wood.

It's really hard to find good quality firewood close to home here so we end up getting whatever we can and burning a shit load of wood.

About 70-80 Ks round trip just depends on where I go and when , never been to this spot before and it's only just been listed as ok for collecting wood , was hoping to get some red stringy but majority is gum or box and been down for years .
I try to get stuff that fits straight in the fire without splitting unless it's red stringy .
Son works for parks and knows where the good stuff is at and when new areas are opened up so that's handy , one spot near Whitfield has lots of big old box and gum down but too big for me to handle so someone's going to be lucky if they find the spot and want big stuff .
4wd is essential for both of these spots though which keeps out those who just have cars .

[GQtdauto]

That's two fairly big 6x4 trailer loads and one GU ute load , but the ute has a massive tray on it .

So what has it cost you all up to get this far, Kallen? I've been looking at doing something similar.

[BigRAWesty]

So what has it cost you all up to get this far, Kallen? I've been looking at doing something similar.
So far including initial van cost of $3000 I'm around the $5g total.
Thats full chassis and leaf setup, new axle, new stubs, new 10" brakes, 17" rims and tyres, new box.
Paint we had from house but outside paint was bought.
Fabric for inside for seats, 30mm solid bench tops, new floor.
Canvas is on the future list and is around $2g.
I personally think itll be worth it once all done, I'd get my money back.
But we're not planning to flip it. But build it to last where we plan to take it lol..

I met mudnutette's boyfriend's younger brothers today. They were shown around the place and got to meet the goats, play with the dogs and see some local wildlife. The whole time, the youngest was grabbing sticks, slamming them into anything within reach, piffing rocks everywhere, and just being an annoying, loud, rough-and-tumble kid, which is fine for the 1st 1/2 hour but got be a tad wearing after that.

I caught a cricket and dropped it into the youngster's outstretched hand. He screamed and took off across the paddock, a reaction I had not anticipated. After that he was quiet as a mouse.

Kryponite found !!

So after my on going debacle regarding the rubbish dump from the previous owner I have had a win! Matfew came past this arvo for a sneaky homebrew, and a visit. Lol. While he was here a truck turns up with a bin on the back! I could not believe it. It seems the real estate agents have sent their own bin to my place to be filled. Soon after Matty left I proceeded to fill it, an hour and four stubbies later its filled. wOOt! Funny thing is the guy who was dropping the bin off knew of and had spoken with the old owner and knows what he was like.
So a small but, big, win for me today. Bring on Monday now!!!! Top end Fishin' time!

I believe giving credit where credit is due.

I bought 2 King Goanna Stretchers from 4WDSupacentre and they arrived yesterday. One was good, the other was faulty.

I put my claim in yesterday at 10:50am, got a response yesterday at 2:25pm, and a new stretcher was sent at lunchtime today. I attached some photos of the defect, as it's got a 5 year warranty, and I'm guessing that expedited my claim.

Gotta be happy with that.

They also said if there were any issues to contact them. Didn't have to, coz the new stretcher was posted out the next day.

Have bought a bit of stuff from them but did research first , the drawers were a Pia to fit but research I had done helped , the only thing that really didn't fit was the side inserts but I soon worked out the lugs screwed underneath were too far forward so I moved them 10 mm and fit was spot on .
Having said all that haven't had a warranty claim yet .

Going to be a huge lifestyle change.
September this year would've been 19 years with about 12 months of that on day shift. To put it in perspective I've been married for 18 years this October and my kids have only known me doing this one job.
It's now not feasible to continue doing nightshift there, going to loss a day and a bit of paid and the future is unclear may go to a 8 hour shift.
The wife is trying to sort out a few things that's going through her head, so this change is definitely going to help her.
New place does a 10 hour day, 4 days a week, with a few hours of o/t on a Friday if you want to.
It's a pretty big pay change, but this needs to happen.
Happy wife, happy life....

Start to finish even have a few installers that do some interstate work. They are moving in a couple of months to a newer larger place. As for the work environment can't really say, but was told that they're a good bunch of guys, some are long term 10+ years, gotta be better than the last place. Shift leader has had a attitude change that no-one likes we're under the pump always and the morale is just crap.

Nice John!!!

I just had an oh shit moment! Running a bath for the kids and the water stopped, out of water? No way we just copped a downpour the other day.

Checked kitchen sink, no water!

Checked pump and it's not working, this was the last straw I absolutely lost my ship!!

Thought of you 3D, disconnected the power to water pump for 5 minutes and it fired back up lol

Being on tank water has made me realise I need a spare , my usual pump just out of warranty blew a capacitor up so out comes the Aldi $99 job for a temp fix , been nearly 8 months and swapping them back over tomorrow.

Not sure how long it will last me in the new house. Reckon about 6 weeks. Aiming to get about 3 times that by winter, then this year I'll stock up in spring so it's all ready for next year.

This is something I have to do once we get our new bub home from the hospital. I dont require as much as you guys as it doesnt really get as cold up here. I want to make a frame so I can keep the timber off the ground as I dont have any concrete to store it so the bottom layer tends to rot.

[GQtdauto]

Yeah wet wood no good , back of my stack is sitting on plastic grates because it does get a bit wet at the back of the shed , one day it will all be concreted but more than likely just as we sell up .

Ouch, 6 weeks...... Would cost a small fortune over here for all that

[threedogs]

what's a Mtr3 worth $120 these days no eye dear

[GQtdauto]

In Northeast Victoriastan about $120-$150 + , trouble is buying stuff that's dry and seasoned and reasonable quality .
One in about 20 know what that means and usually charge closer to $200 for a cube , I'm just physically able to go out and get a load but takes a few days to get over it , but I enjoy getting out in the bush .

[Clunk]

Around $250 a tonne over here for "dry" seasoned Jarrah

[nissannewby]

Winnie picked it up so what makes me happy is when had our second little bundle of joy yesterday. Lincoln Hunter born at 1240 yesterday at 3.82kg and 55cm. Mum and baby doing very well and we are hoping to be home tomorrow.

Bit cheaper down here, there's a lot of people selling wood this way. 90 odd per cubic metre but nobody measures it so you don't really know how much you're getting. And as said above, it's usually wet or green and not great to burn.
We were late this year so won't have the best wood to burn but will be more prepared next year.
I would never pay for fire wood though, I do enjoy collecting it.

From what I've read, over here you can only collect up to a tonne, once in a 60 day period from designated areas, between June and September

[Winnie]

In Vic it's 2 cubic metres per person, per day with a maximum of 16 cubic metres per season. Only allowed to collect in designated firewood collection areas and only in spring and autumn.
