What has made you Happy today??

[TPC]

Looks great. What brand and model, Tony?

Its a Coromal Magnum 511 offroad.

[Hodge]

Yes it was a great weekend. I won't repeat the what was been say. [emoji295] [emoji295] [emoji295] [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I got in about 2.30 and the rain was already coming down.

The Mansfield police tried to put a stop to our weekend, but being on 33s and 2" I thought I was all good. Until he said "mate, where's your sway bar". Ahh crap. He saw that it was broken and not just removed. Came back with no sticker, no rwc required just a trip to vic roads once the bar is in.

Thanks to rusty_nail for the use of his bar.

Only thing it was a bit of a "short" trip..

Credit must go to Hodge for getting the ball rolling.

Jesus christ mate. Us Gala's had an absolute ball though. I just found a short vid on my phone I totally forgot about of the weekend and sent it to rusty_nail, which part of it shows him "cutting the rug". Absolutely briliant.

I think I made the bed too tall lol. wasnt sure how high the mattress would come up and kept forgetting to measure it. Overcompensated and planned on just cutting legs to the "right" height according to the missus haha for perspective, the bed side tables were roughly about the same height as the pillows on our old bed, and new bed is just below my waist line

Someone on Facebook has been trying to off load a heap of tools including two paslode nail guns for $150 the lot , everyone must have thought they were stolen because they advertised for the last three weeks with no one interested .
Thought I'd get in touch just for curiosity and see what the story was and it was a builder who had replaced his tools and was short of cash and emptying his shed .
Fixing and framing gun both work will get a photo of the whole deal after the minister of war and finance has had a few sherries but until then have hidden it all in the shed .

Daughter just sent thru photos of the property and their chickens and monster rabbit are still ok, no power, restricted water flow, and house reeking of smoke, Dead burnt leaves all over the place, no doubt the carry over from the previous event. They are so lucky compared to a lot down that way. She said it was eerie driving down the highway and livestock was wandering all over the place, no one around, everything black and charred - and heavy dense smoke, ash everywhere. I don't think they can stay there at the moment, busy emptying the fridge - poor buggers just did their monthly shopping trip the day before, so most lost.

Hey thanks for that, yes, its starting to feel like I own the solution and pretty happy where it has landed, still had its moments as you all know, but 80% thru the wiring tidy up, been at it 2 days now, also applied Jing Ping to the front compartment floor, which was easy, just more time, keen to see what difference it makes.

The generosity and in general the unbreakable Aussie spirit.

Some of you may may know, Sprock has had a tough time recently given his truck motor needed to be replaced, a mere 50k for the bill, also on the way to pickup the fixes up truck his patrol radiator decided to let go so that was off the road also.

I offered to donate my radiator from my patrol as he's also had a slow year for work and after all other expenses his family wagon was going to have to wait till things got better.

Took a drive down there yesterday and low and behold, sprock is in the midst of arranging to take 6 semi trailers of hay to the farmers up near Buchan as their paddocks are all scorched and there is no food for their herds.

After installing the radiator, I jumped in with sprock and we headed over to a couple of farmers places. Both had agreed to donate 10 large bales each with the plan to swing past a third person to fill the remainder of the truck. both blokes ended up donating more than the original quota, with the second insisting he wanted to just put on as much has as could possibly be fit.

I only got to see the generosity from these fellas, but I wanted to say how awesome it is to see that there are still people out there who can do stuff like this, including legend old mate Sprock

Thanks Phil, like a lot of areas we have been living with continuous heavy smoke for over a week now (P2 masks outside). I live in the southern tablelands NSW, a bit Nth of Canberra. The south Easterlies are causing some local concern, was 44c yesturday but cooled of significantly today. Trouble is lack of water, my dams are near dry, have a bore that I pump to a turkey nest dam(20m head/gravity feed) use for sprays at tow of hill by house and for hose. Been moving water around to better position myself and have 400l tank and pump on trailer. Just need to keep a look out.

The Adaminaby complex and Tumit fires are of interest. Few around us so hard to predict with the south and north easterlies about.

When you do a load of washing and as you empty the washing machine you give the drum a spin looking for a random Sock and find a Goldie!!!!

Hahahaha! Who would ever think that having a regular dump would make a person happy.

In all seriousness though. Good on you John. When I used to do the long hours and night work with Nic I packed on 11kgs. I had been 70kgs for as long as I could remember. After I finished doing the crazy hour work, I tipped in at 81kg on my first weigh in at the local gym. Since then I have been running and going to the gym a lot, I got down to 75kg (seems a lot harder as I get older), but now back up to 77kg, as I have a torn hammy which has played havoc since just before Christmas, and plus being away on holidays I had relaxed a lot on eating right and drinking booze was a bit excessive. I will be back into it soon though as I did feel a lot better within when I was exercising. Just waiting on the hamstring to get better. Taking bloody ages...

Taking a more responsible path in my health has changed me, I don't drink as hard as I used too for one. Even though I have enough booze at home to last me ten lifetimes, thats a feat in its own to not go and crack open a bottle. Lol.

Once I could cut as high as I could I moved onto this bushy area, I think its call Chinese Latern or something. A bloody weed. I need to rebuild the leaning retaining wall at the end so I can put a water tank or two there.... Rossco, check out the lean on the Ivy covered dead tree in the back right of the pic.

Nearly all out... Just gotta get that other bushy thingo' out too. This weekend I hope to finish it.

What also really made me happy is the kindness of two council workers. We are allowed three 1 metre cubed trailer loads of green waste per year from the council. Then its like $70 each time. So Sunday they were shut due to the holiday. Monday they were open. I take the first trailer load down, I was holding around 2 cubes in my trailer. Packed pretty high. I get to the gate at the tip, show my rates notice to the guy, he looks at it, and tells me to go around to near the entrance where there is another spot to unload green waste, a guy will be there to direct me. He didn't even stamp my rates notice. Great 1 load for free.
A few hour later I rock up with another very full load, this time I didn't even get in to show my notice to get it stamped, the guy just sent me straight in to unload! Second load for free! So I still have three trailer loads. There is kind people that work for my local council!

Now off to the angry thread to vent about our local council. Lol.

The other day, I risked life and limb and drove onto bare ground, up somebody's driveway and jump srarted their Tojo with a flat battery. The risk was worth it. I didn't even use the spare gearstick! Sorry, no pics. Lol

It's alright Jack it's not all a bed of roses - first thing the owner did was to bring us an industrial quantity of mozzie coils & then there were the bats flying past at close quarters though the kitchen area & the living room just on dark. It's all open you see, except for the bedroom. The resident python hasn't been in to visit yet. 'Different' would be a good description but I wouldn't want to swap it.

Mc4by The Dampier Peninsula 'gig' was via friends of friends/direct contact but the others have been via an online house sitting web site. There are a number of such sites but the one we joined is Aussie House Sitters. Cost us about $70 for a year - which from the results we have had we have found great value. We joined whilst we were on the Dampier Peninsula, having decided we wanted to do more staying in a location for extended periods rather than just moving on all the time, particularly in the Top End during wet seasons. Sending interested homeowners the link to our blog, in conjunction with phone conversations & email correspondence has been very useful in conveying 'who we are'. Many folk choose to fit their travels in between 'sits', but we like to try to fit sits between travel, at least whilst up north. For us we need to 'reserve' the dry season for travel. We had hoped to get a full wet season in one sit when we came across to FNQ, but the rainforest sit of 4 months was too good to miss, so we came across hoping we might find other sits to get us through the Wet, but if that had not worked out, we would have driven southward to drier weather, returning when we could drive up the Cape. As it is we have secured this current one & another a bit north of Cairns to see us through to mid April. We have applied for a couple of sits which we didn't get, but all that we have got have been home/property owners contacting us on the basis of the 'bio' we put on the web site. Since being in FNQ we have had to turn down several requests to do sits as we are already 'booked'. Our experience is that although it is possible to get sits arranged before reaching an area, it is easier once in the area. On the Dampier peninsula, if we hadn't already committed to the place we looked after we could have got 3 or 4 other similar gigs. Some are 'jobs', either paid or unpaid, we shy away from those as we don't really want 'jobs'. Check out our bio on Aussie House Sitters & check out the rest of their web site. https://www.aussiehousesitters.com.au/house-sitter-pet-sitter/reliable-trustworthy-mature-married-couple There are also a variety of Facebook house sitting groups, which we are on, but have not as yet sought any sits through. (haven't needed to). We do make a point of keeping any commitment we make. For this current Cape York sit we were contacted the day before we were due to meet another couple on the Atherton Tablelands with a view to sitting for them for the same period. Had we have met them 48 hours earlier & committed, we would turned down the sit here even though it was for us far more desirable. As it was we told the Cape York people we would have to reach a firm agreement within 24 hours, before we met with the tablelands people. A lengthy phone that day call saw them agreeing to us & us to them. So the point is it helps to be flexible & willing to grab an opportunity when it arises if it's something you want.

I wanted to see how I'd go getting home on petrol (my tb45 is dual fuel gas injected).
I wasn't quite full full but just about. Went through about 40 litres and covered around 160km. I work it out at 25L/100.

Not bad considering I was in 2nd (auto) getting up some of the hills. Revs we're too high at 4000 rpm to continue to maintain 100km/h. Settled for 3rd at around 90 ish below 3000.

I now know that I should be able to get 700 km between both fuels safely.
