Home maintainance

[trout]

I have a fishing trip planned for Mid March to Sharks Bay for a week or so and I have been upgrading my Camping equipment.
This is my latest addition.
This swag is a huge upgrade on my 20 year old one.
Heaps of room, I don't have to snuggle up to hard canvas and completely fly and mozzie proof :yahoo:
I should have bought one of these years ago.




It isn't ALL Bad RG.
At least now you won't have to get all robed up just to get out of the shower.:angel:

[robbiegal]

it looks tops

yeah Trout there are the pluses

just me sooking as I know he has moved onto his future with his girl and that is great

now I understand the look my father gave me when I left home ... unforgettable

[interest]

Had this little cutie in a tree down the back but it was getting attacked by the stinkin crows.

Love seeing wild life, there's a fair bit of it around here.

You might have to sell up and move up this way RG :friends:

:blink: Gee trout how many camping set ups do you have :winkextra:

Yes interest a lot more than you'd see in sydney, we live in a good spot up this way :good:

[robbiegal]

Are you near Bathurst  AJ?

Waltzing McTroutski ......

Once a Pommy stockman made fun of Pedro's bong
Under the aide of a forum's thread tree
He drank as he watched and waited 'til his post was read
You'll come a forum misbehaving with me

We're misbehavers, we're misbehavers
You'll be misbehaving cause all the members see
So we drink and we post and we wait upon a new reply
You'll come a forum misbehaving with me

Down came an earworm taken from a favourite song
Youtube's a blessing for songs you never see
So we sing as we put that song into our memory
You'll come a forum misbehaving with me

We're misbehavers, we're misbehavers
You'll be misbehaving cause all the members see
So we drink and we post and we wait upon a new reply
You'll come a forum misbehaving with me

Up rose the moderator, checking for a feral thread
Down came the topic police, one, two, and three
Where is the relevance of that most recent post
You've been just naughty as far as I can see

We're misbehavers, we're misbehavers
You'll be misbehaving cause all the members see
So we drink and we post and we wait upon a new reply
You'll come a forum misbehaving with me

Up piped the stockman, take it to the naughty thread
A new thread I'll contrive, for folks like you and me
And his posts may be read as you listen to a groovy song
You'll come a forum misbehaving with me

:laugh2: I think you've just created the new aussie (coin forum) anthem Uni

[autocoupler]

Good one uni, trout may be able to sing himself to sleep on the back of that little ditty, but don't know what fellow campers might think :biggrin: :angel:

[trout]

That is GOLD Uni, Well done Mate :good:

[Pedro]

Brilliant Uni :ok:

Gee trout how many camping set ups do you have

Camping and fishing gear is a lot like coins, There is always something newer, Better or something that you simply don't have out there  :angel:
Anyway with the type of Camping gear that I have now I can set everything up in less than an hour and it will sustain and make me comfortable anywhere in Australia for weeks at a time if I so desired
Just the solar panels and battery storage I have now are quantum leaps over my old gas lighting, Ice boxes and reliance on fuel hungry gensets. :yahoo:

Yeah,its big moment in your Son's life as well as yours,stay away from Chips & Chocolate,time for a Holiday.

I didn't have that problem,My Parents moved out!!!,Channel 9 was in the process of buying our Willoughby,Sydney, House and my Parents retired to Terrigal and it was a couple of years before My Brother and I moved out.

When we left QLD the daughter stayed there to study nursing - so she always says that she never left home - we left her
we both cried for years after that - 17 years on I still miss her, i love my kids so much - i still had her towel in the bathroom for years after we moved in here (mind you she is now married with children - interstate still)

yeah - it is great for him to move - he deserves to be loved - he is also just about to go in for surgery as I write so I think the stress of the surgery hasn't helped with tensions either
he was supposed to move on saturday so he and we would have had a couple of days for him to settle in before the surgery today - but the well meaning brothers insisted - it's alright - don't hire a van - we'll move your gear for you - then the trailer loan gets delayed week-end after week-end, then day after day ... and so on

anyways we have been texting and he said he slept well so i think it worked out Ok in the long run
fingers crossed the hernia surgery goes OK

all 3 of us here at this house have all been in the surgical wars since October last year
hopefully things will sort themselves out  !

i am still trying to organise a mowing guy as the hubby can't mow since his ankle surgery the other week
the yard around the veggie patch is like a jungle

Thanks Guys, the devil made me do it ....... :diablo:
