Heading out for a 4wd and THAT makes me happy!!
Chris and I got matching phone :)
Nice looking slot car track, Lucas:)
That's 37" country! And I don't mean Georges back door either!
I put the stubbie there for a size guide lol
Great day though :-)
There's a heap of tracks like that in and around the Cobobonee forest, that three years ago just about anyone could get through, but the idiots in "monster trucks" have made it inaccessable, even to emergency vehicles.
Only 10 minutes from town, but on only 2.5 acres. Close enough to neighbours to hear their bloody dogs howling at night! Ballarat seems like a pretty good place, still finding my way around but I like it, it seems friendly & with a lot more on hand than Traralgon/Morwell. Our new place is ‘suburbia’ compared to our last place, but it’s still ‘country’ complete with a current plague of rabbits. Gonna have to sell my .22 magnum & shotgun & replace with either a standard .22 to use subs, or maybe an air rifle. The current firearms would be loud enough to freak out the neighbours. Something quieter will be the go.
Any of you gun toting 4wd’ers have any idea what a lever action Ruger Model 96 .22 magnum with scope & 9 shot magazine might be worth?
Picked my ride up from George's workshop in Thomo today after he did my clutch for me in time for our High Country trip over Anzac Day.
A great job mate. Many thanks.
My kids make me happy... erica is so beautiful. .. my kids got baptized tonight and erica got so much praise from people. .. Alexander fell asleep just before it started so was asleep for the baptism.

Going thru the shed to sort out all the old crap and found an air pump with pressure gauge from when I had air suspension on one of the Harley's I had, will work well on the airbags.
Getting out for a wheel in the ute yesterday without major damage. First solid 4wd trip without major damage since the high country last October :D,
The best thing is how good the treps are with the modified tread pattern, the amount of sideways traction has improved 10 fold. So impressed that my next set of treps will be modified before they are fitted to rims :smileyvault-cute-bi
Today has been an excellent day so far!
First thing was I took my Patrol to Nissan for a 50,000Km service. This car is the first second hand car I have bought in a lot of years and it bothered me there was no warranty in case I had overlooked something when I inspected it before handing over the $$$
When I was picking the car up after the service, we were discussing warranty matters in general with the Service Manager when he sais, "you don't have to worry, your car has the Nissan Extended Warranty"!
It came out that the previous owner had purchased the Nissan Extra Time warranty so I have a new-car warranty till mid-May 2015! :bigthumbup:
Can't beat that. I hope there isn't a clause in the fine print saying it's non-transferrable to a new owner
Anyhow, when we left Nissan, I dropped into BCF to try to bargain them down on a Waeco CFX40 and they wouldn't really budge down to what I have seen online. The guy then showed me an Engel MR40F (the one with the plastic casing) and gave a good discount on it for me as well as throwing in the insulated cover. :bigthumbup:
Do days get much better than this? :thumbup:
thinking about the weekend - moving my fuel manger, installing my catch can, adding a Strike phone cradle and a 7bd antenna and seeing what else I can do to get stuff out of the back of the troll and into position
Got up early this mornin quick trip down to the coast for a surf got the scar from the hernia op in some salt water figured it would do some good. Then went up to the surf club an had a big pile of bacon an eggs to keep the colesterol up. Was gettin a tad low. Back home by 11 am an then had a nice sleep before the missus gets home from work. Boy what a life he he .
@GV bacon and eggs will do that LOL
Finally got a phone call from the insurance Co.thats not bad 3 times in 20 years
and only as I rang yesterday. Seems my case manager is of the some thought
as me as this has taken far to long to sort out. He is going to follow it through and get back to me
early next week. Hey Its all I've got I'm clutching straws here, my last horar so to speak.
Fingers crossed
Sunrise after a dawn service is what makes me happy today.
Lest we forget.
Heres why I was happy/proud
Eye sight is finally begininning to get back to the point where I can actually see stuff with out being too blurred......... that was one seriously bad case of conjunctivitis
Just got back from an awesome ride with my dad. About 100 Kay's, awesome countryside and some good solid fun!
