I'm in the process of buying 4 cubic metres of sand for my German Shepherd's sandpit, and my baby is due to be born in Feb/Mar - next year. lol
You're either an old stud or your baby is something other than a human rugrat. Spill the beans Rossco, which is it mate? :DQuote:

Picked up my awning sock I had made to protect the front from water ingress and to stop the bush from tearing the cover.
Went into Aldi today cause some of the weekend specials can be mint!!
Bought a 40m roll of 5mm para cord Glow in the dark....$9

Then went across the road to BCF and bought 6 Supapeg cord brakes for $2 each. BCF sold a China brand of these in a 4 pack for $8. The Aussie ones where the same price. Happy days.

Para cord is awesome stuff, so strong for its size and weight.
I have a couple of 10m pieces coiled up in my hunting pack. Glow in the dark would be handy though!

I bought 2 rolls , same time last year. Used a few small lengths for some sideways shade cloths at ground level in the backyard, . Within weeks UV ate it for breakfast. Went dry and frail and de-stranded. So cannot recommend it for a "lengthy period of time job.Quote:

Also just noticed Aldi has those canvas bags again at the moment. I got some last year and they are great for the price!!! THis year they have some different ones up for grabs.
Attachment 85941
Cheers Eric. Yeah Telstra rope is awesome a little big for Mt application but i have used it to tie down more than a few trailer loads.Quote:

I did note the canvas bag looked bloody good for the price . The voice in my head said I didn't need it. What would that voice know!!! Nuffing is say!!! Could work real well for the new 24mm Kenetic Rope which is Huge packed up.
Didn't your rope come in a bag? Mine did!Quote:

Tie a hanky to it, Atlas Copco blow it straight out 100m away and then grease the conduit/cable with plumbers ‘Mirror’ and then swear at your other two for not sweating/screaming hard enough shoving like [emoji23][emoji23]

Pretty much what Stropp said.
Used to tie a hankie or some cloth to a pull rope to act as a parachute and the blast it with "no mucking around" compressor strength.

Picked up a rhino rack today very cheap with all legs, never had anything on it and 6 mths old, remove the track lander tomorrow and fit up new platform Attachment 85995
That's a cool looking rack! Is that a high backup light?
That’s a 76 series Toyota the rack came off
I bought a KLR 650 Adventure. First brand new vehicle I've ever bought https://amcn.com.au/editorial/kawasa...650-adventure/

You'll find it a very competent machine and fairly easy handling whatever your experience level. Get sprockets to suit the terrain you're taking. (Highway vs rock scramble)Quote:

The whole time trailing behind him in the comfort of a Patrol's A/C and seats, and I STILL thought to my self how f*cking cool would it be to travel around on that thing.
Yep they are 80% On road and 20%off road. They'll do for now. This will mostly be a commuting bike. Over paying $3k a year on car parking!Quote:

Chain oiler and sprocket advice stands.
I'm not up to speed with the oz rules. I know NZ blindly and daftly followed your LAMS (power to weight ratio for learners) scheme...which did open up some good bikes for newbies but also achieved nothing in terms of safety...
they then hiked the registration/continuous licensing costs (which I don't think you have??) for >650cc machines which made it a proper ball-ache, especially if you kept more than one horse in the stable... I mean, you only have one arse, so why do we have to pay for multiple bikes :@ Bang Head
government is dumb. rant over.
Drifta recovery kit with 15t kinetic rope which they sent separately as no stock but it looks good, I just need a rope tow bridle now and I can keep the straps as spares.
