That's okay Ian ... no need to apologise. Sorry to hear you're having such a bad run. Understand completely. Hope you're having a better day today.

As with all govt knuckleheads, they can't speak one on one, they have to bring a small crowd. This taxes the toileting arrangements no end, I have sawdust in my ears, jocks and anywhere you care to think off.

Back in 1hr.

Yes, indeed, it is a mighty fine vehicle, mighty fine. You do of course realise what you've done letting me drive it the other day, don't you? You could say I've possibly seen the light. Can't wait to see it in the bush

Anyway, Thanks to Your Good Self and Tony, she is no longer in a constant state of travelling down hill! And the winch don't keep taking the top off of speed humps anymore.

Not really Panda, I've had the water resources people hammering me today. Apparently Lake Morris is all but dry and the Barron River is flowing backwards. I put this down to global warming, but they seem to be attributing it to the little leak at the bottom of the Babinda Oceanette.

Thanks for the advice Ian and Coope, I've spoken to Mrs G and she bows to your knowledge as said to go about 2pm instead 10am.giving me time to go into Halfords for a puncture repair kit,thanks again Ian(how's your watersports centre coming on?)

Hey Coope you had a lucky escape yesterday Paul from Blakehurst came looking for you apparently he's going through the braille phone book,found some guy in Northern Rivers Ave., Holmebush Bay NSW 2217, made a right mess of his garden,Paul saw what he thought was his drive and just turned into it,turned out to be the back garden gate!anyway I think your safe for now.

Coope did you know about where spar water came from?
