By the time bec runs out of fuel and wakes up the thread will have gained a few pages, meaning she won't see it when looking over my shoulder. Your safeQuote:

Hey Scotty, I left my gas bottle at your place the other night of the barbecue.
Any chance you could take in to Scenic Rim with you and I will collect it there?
Yes sir - I'll fill it with mine through the week and bring it out ...Quote:

Get people with experience in these areas to do a quick informal on them. As some of you know I am an Arbourist( tree looper) so I can bring a few saws and show basic maintenance, sharpening and cutting. Others who are mechanics or mechanically minded can do servicing and preventative maintenance..... More " real world stuff " not text book learning.
Just a thought.
Bloody good idea mate!!!Quote:

Tim
Well I bring a few saws along and a few... Lot of chains that every one can sharpen for me...... I meen learn on. I book a sat morning time slot.... 10am ish till when ever. Man sat night will be the biggest Bon fire ever..... Lots of " cut wood" lol can even do a basic revision on useful knots. Just the basic ones you can use every day.
Top stuff mate!Quote:

Hahaha ... mine will be the "finer points of paying someone to fix your tank and radiator"!!!!! lmaoQuote:

I think Safe (and un safe) Recovery methods should be something talked about at some stage.
I guess, if anyone has a interest in photography , or just has a Digital SLR Camera ,and wants to bring it along, we could go off for a hour or so and share some tips ?
Another top idea - see, it's not all about getting down and dirty in the rigs!!!Quote:

Any time on Saturday is good for me, I'm only there for the day.
Tony
Tony, I recon if you put together a small lesson on how to do a basic vehicle saftey inspection before a big road trip (with a patrol in mind) ,such as , how to identify and avoid problems with things like fan belts ,brakes, wheel bearing play etc ?
NIce work guys this will help out all those who are new and refresh memories of those who are not. Safety first.
I can pack the hand winch and associated toys for people who want to go that way.
I was thinking a flat ground wheel placement challenge might be fun - run over the witches hat kind of thing - don't have any witches hats but perhaps water filled balloons provided we pick the rubbish up - cane toads seem to be in short supply at the moment. Maybe short bits of 50mm + dia branches so people can feel when they hit them. Curvy course with left front, right front kind of thing.
oh, yeah, barring unforseen dramas we'll be there - does anyone know when the gate closes on Fri night? otherwise Sat morning
I'm not sure if I can cope with you showing Fran how to give me a massage and facial Tim, but, if you are 'up for it' then perhaps I can reconsider :-)Quote:

Don't think it shuts mate - if you come in after the office closes, you could just see them in the morning (same process at Landcruiser). I assume that would be the process?Quote:
