OK, I just knocked off work, in our home office,

sounds bloody good to me daza!!!!

Yeah, let's stoke up the campfire, grab a coldie, and get some stuff happening here...going by res-q-guys post just a while ago a few others like Footy and Bushfix are on for a yarn..LOL

Cheers

Fred.

Did you grab one for me mate?


well i woke up this morning

and it felt so good out, I left it out all day.


heading bush tomorrow just for an overnighter swagging it in the Yengo somewhere.

I 'll go along with that Daza. I have been sitting near the beer frig & heater ( its bloody cold hear in Newcastle) for the past half our ( two stubbies actually) & having a bo peep on the Forum now & then to see what's new, and yep, you are right, it's a bit quiet.

So do you mind if I ask you a Question or two ?? I'm a "newbie" & want to buy a vehicle to tow my Van. What would you suggest I tow it with, O wise one? A Commodore or a Camry ? & should the tow vehicle be powered by petrol or diesel. OR a combination of both of these fuels.
Now the van's loaded weight is just under three tonne. Do you think I should have some brakes fitted? Also should I get some Weight Distribution equipment. ( A mate of mine said there was no need for this expensive equipment as all he does is leave the jockey wheel on & wound down pretty tight to relieve the weight a bit on the tow bar. Seems logical to me, but what would you advise.
Also, my wife does not like getting her feet wet from damp grass when we stop overnight at roadside camps, so I want to take a lawn mower. What do you reckon, 2 stroke or 4 stroke? My mate said a 2 stoke was cheaper to run because it only had to do half the number of strokes compared to a four stroke. Sounds logical, but your advise would be good to have for reassurance purposes.
If you could get back to me pretty quick it would be good, as we intend to set off with our new rig to cross the Simpson week after next. It will be our first experience towing a van & we are looking forward to it immensely. It will also be good to share our adventures with you if we get back home safe & sound. Cheers & thanks.

Jeez geat minds think alike,just got home had a shower now it's time for a cold beer and check out the forum,glad i'm not alone.cheer's GREENDOG

I'm quite enjoying the fact that there are far fewer posts about:

which sports team is better than which other sports team
who is about to pack their vehicle to go somewhere
the personal chatter between people who should either marry or desist
the amusing anecdotes which only about 3 people understand
the (seemingly) eternal “Follow-ups” in hijacked threads
the whole “fun banter” thing when it clogs the forum
the list goes on…

Such is “The Internet” :)

have your beer i just pulled out the port bottle

Forget the port I prefer TOKAY--much better than port, but a little dearer.

I must have b.o. the moment I join up everyone pisxes off .Personally I miss the banter even if I am not into football.
Put another log on
Cheers Pete

Cripes I need to go for a pee already. Put another log on the fire while I'm gone fellars.... LOL

The camp fire down here in Latte town is suffering a -3C wind chill factor and blowing like a bilious Camel.

Feel sorry for any poor buggar working on a crew up in the High Country at the moment.
