Nightly Goodnight Everyone

[dream4red]

Dot, it seems like the right weather to be doing nothing in too xxxx

Had the nice man out to move the caravan battery today. It went from under the bed, in front of the axle, to under the lounge, behind the axle. Hopefully this will help our ball weight to be a bit more like it's meant to be.

The afternoon was spent trying out the husqvana sewing machine. Very easy to operate and made the decision to keep it, very easy. The poor old janome has now been dumped in the garbage. I wont be needing to work with it anymore.

Another crappy day with sinus headache all day, so just dropped by to say goodnight all xxx

[Dot]

Is it due to the smoke Deborah? Take some pills and rest Got the hop across the ditch all done, flights (direct) car hire, insurance, and so off we go for 2 weeks at the end of Feb just for a couple of weeks but if the ph call I had with my mate for 3 hrs is any indication even a month wouldn't be enough Bags all packed well mine is, G will do his the night before . Time to say goodnight everyone x Goodnight Pop x

[Dot]

Another warm day and I'm knackered so time to say goodnight everyone x Goodnight Martin aka Dapope x Hope you are on the mend Deborah.

Dot, no good going over the ditch, they are getting our smoke haze as well. Have fun planning your escape mate xxxx

Yes it's the smoke that is causing us both to be so unwell. Strangely, we both suffer for allergies to smoke and we seem to be taking it day about as to who has the lounge and the boxes of drugs. Today, we have no fires anywhere within a huge radius, but we still had a smoke haze that you could cut. We had to go out to the cheapy chemist for another supply of drugs, so continued on into Newcastle to do some bullbar research. All I can say is, this truck is costing us a lot more than I even thought possible. Apparently there is only one bullbar that has been fabricated for our model patrol, so like or lump it, that's the one he bought. I hate it already, especially with two great big owl eye fog lights, but that is how they come. We will probably never use the fog lights, but they will be there anyway and may help us to sell the beast when the time comes. So in 3 weeks time, we will get the bullbar fitted.....ouch

Why do you need a bullbar???

George

[Dot]

Bullbar is for the protection of the Jayco Sorry Deborah I couldn't resist Bloody hot again today and awaiting the "cool change" supposedly tonight. Air con is still on but now going to bed as have to be in the city at 9am in the morning So goodnight everyone x Goodnight Toolman x

Dot you don't know how close you are. xxxx

George we are planning to a bit longer trip this year including WA and NT in the roads to be travelled. When we had the prado, we felt that as most farmers have some variants of land cruisers, we would always find parts on our travels. Dont expect to find too many spare parts or radiators for patrols out there. We have so far avoided the hundreds of roos that we see annually and have had quite a few very close calls with the stupidest bird on earth, the emu., but don't want to be spending months beside some forlorn outback roadhouse while we wait for a radiator to come from Japan.

Had a crappy day today, the air is still not clear so going to get some ugly sleep now.
night all xxx

[Dot]

Long day for sure, great run into town, had a really nice dentist at the clinic, she even saw the 2 ulcers right up the top of my top gum and then turned her attention to the new lower plate that they made but it was like a vice so have left it out till today after she shaved a bit off the part that grips around my teeth. Then back up the hill where I picked out my new frame for the new glasses, got bi focal's this time for use in the car really so I can see the buttons and things. Then did a couple of little things like bought a new handbag , got some bread then we headed to the hairdressers for our spike & dyke cuts then got home then went to sleep We has a bit of useful rain as well so happy with that. Goodnight everyone x Goodnight Craig x

Oh enjoy the sound of the rain on your roof Dot. xxxx

Today I finally got the draft copy of our tax ready for the accountant, Another job off the list.

On Monday, one of our jayco mates had their fairly new, big caravan stolen from a storage facility during a blackout. They put it up on our club f/book page and others put on their local pages. Today, one of our group drove past a van on the side of the road and it had the same numberplates as had been on f/book. Owners and coppers came out and yes it's their van. A little worse for the experience but nothing too serious. The 12 pin plug had been ripped off and the tvs are gone. But, hey, that's the power of social media today. The thieves had even been sighted to be enjoying their morning tea on the owners chairs, that were still outside the van. Hope the coppers can get right onto those crooks.
