Then you get over it...........eventually.

Went and experienced Skytrek over the Anzac weekend.
Set up camp, then downloaded the track recorded on my Meridian Platinum bleepy thing to the Laptop. Noticed the track included the last couple of trips I had done (and so I thought, erased) so I checked through the menu options and found a couple which said something like; erase track & erase all. So, Sand Man thinks to himself, already tried erasing track - Let's select erase all.
The next day, we take off on the Skytrek trip and get to the starting point.
Sand Man turns on his GPS to record the trek, only to be informed he had erased the bleeping lot and the GPS needed a full re-initialisation.
Well after chucking a fruity and then asking his fellow travelers if they had some Valium tablets, Sand Man decides to forget the bleeping GPS and enjoy the experience.
Well about two thirds of the way around, one is informed to engage 4WD LOW and proceed. Some time later we came to a steepish section with a hump about half way up. Well, Sand Man takes off and reaches the hump and goes no further.
After trying again, then chucking a fruity, then having another Valium, Sand Man decides to count to 50. then re-access the situation.
Embarrassment. One has to place the Auto selector in Neutral or Park before one can engage the front transfer case.
Well, the next attempt and Jack just easily cruises up the track without any further ado. Sand Man smiled, got his act together and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the trek. In fact, the rest of the weekend.

Now he just has to re-initialise the bleeping GPS again........@%#$^#*.
