11 Days

Said goodbye to the boss yesterday and will see you again mid October.

The next thing is to finish getting the Troopie ready. My original plan was to take my time over this weekend and most of next week.

That was the plan until I was asked to do a advance driver training this weekend. So today the rear diff goes back in after the welding of the cracks. New shackle bushes, a check of the centre pins and "U" bolts. The brakes have been checked and the oil replaced. So that should be it for the rear.

The same for the front on Monday plus the gear box oil change.

Completely unpack the vehicle, take out the bench set in the back and strip all the draws out. Trying to make the vehicle as light as possible. Get the new tyres fitted and a oil change. Then get a pink slip. To get a pink slip they have to do a brake test, so the lighter the vehicle the better it will stop, I hope. ( See you next week Scott , MAAAAAATE)

Repack the vehicle checking that all the gear is working.

In the mean time my family is coming down from Queensland for my daughters wedding on Saturday. So that rules out next weekend. Monday is shopping day. All the food and stuff for my first trip, which is the Canning.

Tuesday, 30th May, 9am at Maccas, Lithgow I will meet up with the other driver for the Canning and then I can relax.

It is a good thing that it is only 11 days to go.
