Mrs hh:angel:
Hey umm I am unsure as teh exact dates as I do not know yet which way I will go up and who I will see a long the way but I will make a decision this week. I was just visiting my brother on the weekend in a little town of about 60(so not a town a village or a gathering of houses) and there was a little group of people around teh corner from his place having a get together of old machinery and cars. there were heaps of stationary engines and about 4 old fergies a couple old cars and an old ute and drum roll please.......a 1952 series 1 on historic rego. I got talking to the owner and he has a 1949 80' sitting at his place so he said he will give me a call one day as he does not think he will get around to doing anything with it. :)

[Landy Smurf]

Thanks Jason they look cool I cant wait to get cracking.

[banjo]

[Landy Smurf]

how are weekends as there is a guy at warners bay who has lots of land rovers and he said he wants to take me for a spin in his v8 s2a. I totally agree with that mr and mrs aus are some of the best people you will ever meet. You are very lucky to have them nearby.

[Ausfree]

When I got home, Jason, (after a couple of schooners at the pub) I had lunch and then rotated the tyres on the Kia (it's done 10,000k's so tyre rotation is due) then watched the new "Red Dawn" movie (typical Yank shoot-em-up style of movie) and then started to build the model Defender, got as far as the little fiddly bits (you know the head lights and such) and gave it away for the day as the old eyes are not what they used to be. ( a couple of beers doesn't help either).:p

Soooooo, I will finish it off another day when the light is better.:D

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

the build date i am guessing is around 4/1949 so is that a 49 or a 48 as land rover started in april IIRC?

[The ho har's]

I thought August/september??

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

hmmm interesting.........

[banjo]

I've never owned a series 1 before so i'd be happy to hold onto it aswell..

And it seems no one wants me to get out of landrovers so one more would'nt hurt..

[Brian]

Hey guys, headsup. looks like I am coming to Newie for my grand daughters 21st on 20th April. very near you Jim. Will be flying down this time.

Brian

[Landy Smurf]

I have not decided yet how long will you be down for?

Hi Tony, Unsure of dates yet, but totally flexible.

[Brian]

Have to have a cup of coffee again Brian. I'm working on the 20th but free on the 21st.:D

Absolutley Jim, goes without saying, same goes for anyone else around Newie. Only problem this time, I will not have a vehicle, so you have to come to me.

[banjo]

I have not decided yet how long will you be down for?

[Landy Smurf]

Ok I have nothing on but I am happy to take my time going up to to gympie. I was probably going to leave around the 26th would that be too late for you?

[Landy Smurf]

Mrs ho har what is happening with the defender day. I do no know where it is at except for south west of brisbane on a property. Do i hitch a lift with you there and back or do i take my hilux and park it out of sight :p

[Brian]

Ok I have nothing on but I am happy to take my time going up to to gympie. I was probably going to leave around the 26th would that be too late for you?

Tony, date is ok. I can direct you to the ho-hars in Brissie, my car wont be too far (nth Brissie), Then go to LR event before heading up to Gympie and home, with Inskip in mind. You are welcome to come up and I can show you where all the back packers stay in Rainbow beach.
This is the spot, about 5 coaches a day come in to exchange young tourists. You may not want to leave.

Are you still looking at the canopy in HB. What are you looking for?
Maybe I can look around for you.

[Landy Smurf]

Awesome i shall start to plan. The canopy went for more then I was probably willing to pay.
Things I am after are canopy for a 130 tub.(soft top or hard top). bullbar and front seats for my hilux which is 1998-2004.

[banjo]

That is why Brian wants to come along :p


Yeah you'll just have to watch Brians age .& make sure the tray got lots of room cause when you pich up girls they will need somewhere to put there walking frames.HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH:wasntme:

If i still had my machine you could of brought some canvas or an old truch tarp & i could of sewn one up for you..I must get another one..I sewed all the canvas on the poptop camper we built at old place..

[The ho har's]

Mrs ho har what is happening with the defender day. I do no know where it is at except for south west of brisbane on a property. Do i hitch a lift with you there and back or do i take my hilux and park it out of sight :p


Tony, about 45 minutes from our place. You can hitch a lift with us as we are taking 2 vehicles. I am driving big red with the camper on and Harry probably taking the 101, orrrr, I am driving connie-sue and harry in red 130:D

Weeds has already stated no vehicles besides defenders and leaf sprung land rovers are allowed:D


So you will be here for the Arthur Goddard talk, Wed 1st May? I think Brian is going to that also:)

Looking forward to seeing you again:D

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

Ah ok.It is not very far that is good.
Are you going for just the day or are you camping for the 3 days? I should let weeds know.
I am definitely going to the arthur goddard thing.
It seems I have a co pilot for the journey up there now which is good. Watch this space to see updates :)

[Brian]

Yeah you'll just have to watch Brians age .& make sure the tray got lots of room cause when you pich up girls they will need somewhere to put there walking frames.HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH:wasntme:

We are a definite over night maybe 2, will see, if we go Friday or Saturday. Remember it is totally self sufficient, though I think a portaloo will be there;)

The dam is next to the property, when I say Dam it is a huge one supplying water, so you can get shower water from there.

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

I will just go with the flow and I shall make sure I stock up.
I must admit I have been looking forward to this ever since I found out. My dad is very jealous as he will be up there the week after

[Ausfree]

Absolutley Jim, goes without saying, same goes for anyone else around Newie. Only problem this time, I will not have a vehicle, so you have to come to me.
Not a problem for me Brian, however...........................












































..............................you won't be riding in a Landy, are you sure you want to ride in a Kia?????:p

[Brian]

I guess I can handle it, just this once.

[The ho har's]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY


21 again, 21 again who's got the key of the door ..... sorry I was thinking it was Brian's B'day:angel::p

Mrs hh:angel:

[banjo]

Happy 21st Tony..I didnt know it was your birthday..

[Ausfree]

Happy Birthday Tony,,,,Have a good one mate!!http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/holidays-and-party/cake-077.gif (http://freesmileyface.net/free-holidays-and-party-smileys.html)https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ (http://freesmileyface.net/free-holidays-and-party-smileys.html)

[Ausfree]

Hey Tony....did you notice I said "Happy Birthday" in Smurf Blue:p

[Landy Smurf]

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, it put a smile on my face

[Landy Smurf]

Hey Tony....did you notice I said "Happy Birthday" in Smurf Blue:p
well done Jim, I give you top points for creativity.

[Brian]

Tony

Have a good one from me too.

Another Aries Eh. my GD 21st is 17th.

[Landy Smurf]

Thanks Brian, I thought that when you said you were coming down.I always thought that most people are born in september.

[Landy Smurf]

Well I have decided enough is enough and i need too continue to get my life together. I have started to clean my room and sort out all my ex's stuff and the things we have together. It is going very slowly as i tend to take a break very often.My plan is to clean half of the house as well and then do some gardening but i think the gardening will have to wait.
How is everyone else going today, the weather looks quite nice outside

[JohnF]

Tony, sorry my Birthday wish for you is late--was not on Aulro for the last couple of days, but hope you had a good Birthday, and best wishes now, Johnf. ;)

[JohnF]

Banjo, re- Broken Hill. I had mentioned to you that lead poisoning was a danger for those living in Broken Hill.

In today's Free Local Paper, "Tweed Sun," Dr. Wright has an item in his column on Lead poisoning. He states in part:--

"It is well known that kids living near lead mines are most at risk, as it is in the air. Regular blood checks are essential. It can lead to mental retardation and is very dangerious."

As his column is syndicated I would suggest this item is possibly also in a local paper down your way.

As I previously said, their are many other country towns that also have very cheap house prices. But if you do move to Broken Hill, do get regular blood checks for lead poisoning.

[JohnF]

Hey Tony where about in warrners Bay is this Bloke , i thought i Knew every landy round here..Is it a SWB on a rangie chassis ???.I know theres a bloke in East street with some as we used to live in that street & a bloke i went to school with his parents have them to there in metcalfe st..

I have seen a Series/Defender [part series part defender-gaurds, etc., from firewall forward] on a RR chassis, and do think it is a great idea.

Your next project Banjo???

[JohnF]

When I got home, Jason, (after a couple of schooners at the pub) I had lunch and then rotated the tyres on the Kia (it's done 10,000k's so tyre rotation is due) then watched the new "Red Dawn" movie (typical Yank shoot-em-up style of movie) and then started to build the model Defender, got as far as the little fiddly bits (you know the head lights and such) and gave it away for the day as the old eyes are not what they used to be. ( a couple of beers doesn't help either).:p

Soooooo, I will finish it off another day when the light is better.:D

Aus, you do need one of those large magnifying glasses on a stand with a fluorocent light around it. We do have an old one of these--not for sale, that we picked up in a garage sale.

[JohnF]

Tony, about 45 minutes from our place. You can hitch a lift with us as we are taking 2 vehicles. I am driving big red with the camper on and Harry probably taking the 101, orrrr, I am driving connie-sue and harry in red 130:D

Weeds has already stated no vehicles besides defenders and leaf sprung land rovers are allowed:D


So you will be here for the Arthur Goddard talk, Wed 1st May? I think Brian is going to that also:)

Looking forward to seeing you again:D

Mrs hh:angel:

so everyone with a County does miss out???

[Ausfree]

Aus, you do need one of those large magnifying glasses on a stand with a fluorocent light around it. We do have an old one of these--not for sale, that we picked up in a garage sale.

John, I think the point I was trying to make was that a couple of beers affects the co-ordination somewhat.:D Only takes a couple.:p

[JohnF]

Ah ok.It is not very far that is good.
Are you going for just the day or are you camping for the 3 days? I should let weeds know.
I am definitely going to the arthur goddard thing.
It seems I have a co pilot for the journey up there now which is good. Watch this space to see updates :)

Tony, if on the way up, or the way back you go pass Coolongatta on a week day [except Wednesday] do drop into Coolongatta Library--I most likely will be there and would love to meet you. Look for a good looking Blonde Guy with a beard, in his 60's with a small laptop [Banjo you are not to say it is grey-- I still insist it is blonde, not Grey :D ]

[Landy Smurf]

I need to sit down and plan a bit of a route with Brian, I dont even know where Coolongatta is but if i am passing through i will call in

[sheerluck]

I need to sit down and plan a bit of a route with Brian, I dont even know where Coolongatta is but if i am passing through i will call in

If you're coming up the Pacific Highway, you'll go straight past it. You'll see Coolangatta airport from the road.

If you come up the New England Highway, you won't be anywhere near.

[JohnF]

John, I think the point I was trying to make was that a couple of beers affects the co-ordination somewhat.:D Only takes a couple.:p

I though there was also an eye problem also. I am writing a book on Alcohol Use, and though I am not a drinker am aware of effects of Alcohol on driving skils after just a glass or so [driving co-ordination, etc., is affected well below the legal limit, as tests on driving simulators, etc., have shown.]

In my early 20's, 1970, I liked a girl, Lorraine, who drank, and went to a party where she was, and did have just a couple of drinks.

I was fine to drive, except on the way home, the steering of my Type 3 VW Station waggon decided to play up and the VW kept mounting the hump in the middle of Parramatta Road--near Parramatta :mad: .

So I pulled up and had a sleep in the back. When I woke up my car's steering had fixed itself :).

This happened to my VW 3 different occasions, and I vowed never to be under the influence again, and never have been under the influence since.

So I am aware of what just a couple of drinks in moderation can do to you, and am aware you do not normally know what it has done to you.

[sheerluck]

[Banjo you are not to say it is grey-- I still insist it is blonde, not Grey :D ]

I always prefer silver John. I'm not going grey, I'm going silver.

[JohnF]

If you're coming up the Pacific Highway, you'll go straight past it. You'll see Coolangatta airport from the road.

If you come up the New England Highway, you won't be anywhere near.

If you do get to Coolgatta you will find your way to Coolongatta surf club-- from the Airport you will pass one or two other surf clubs--depending on your route before you get to Coolongatta Surf club. There is a pedestrian crossing opposite the surf club. Walk away from Surf club paralel to beach until you reach next pedestrian crossing, and cross it to shops. Go through double glass doors almost opposite that pedestrian cossing and you atre in the building that has the Library at the top of the esculators on the 3rd floor [but Library is moving to different part of the building soon.]

The Library is about 3 km from Highway, if you come up the coast rather than New England Highway.

AndI will admit, from Singleton I would go the New England--but going up one highway, and back the other means you do see more of Australia that way.

[Landy Smurf]

I think we will probably go up the pacific but either way I will go up one and down the other. will keep you posted

[sheerluck]

I think we will probably go up the pacific but either way I will go up one and down the other. will keep you posted

The New England Highway route is slightly longer, but takes about the same amount of time as the Pacific, as there are far fewer towns to go through and speed limit changes accordingly.

They are both nice routes. Probably a little more to see on the Pacific route, but up one and down the other is a good move.

[Landy Smurf]

We have always done the new england route as it is so much quicker and easier for us. but from newcastle there is not much in it

[The ho har's]

so everyone with a County does miss out???


No not at all, A County is the type of trim for the early defender:)

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

well last night my sister in law through me a surprise 21st which i honestly had no idea and it was good to see all my family and some of my old friends there. I did drink quite a bit and it was not the best ride home

[sheerluck]

Hope you're not feeling too rough this morning birthday boy!

And I hope you didn't do my sister's trick on the way home, after her 30th she was being driven home by her husband (he was sober) after a little too much to drink. She pressed the button for the wrong window, and then attempted to turn and vomit through a window that was still closed. My brother in law had to dismantle the whole door to clean up :D

We don't let her forget that.

[Landy Smurf]

So far so good. my head is ok but belly and throat not so much and yes i did have a smurf drink last night i will get a photo
I did not make it too my bed though but instead thought it a good idea to go lay outside and talk to people on facebook=bad idea all round

Certainly was a challenge for the old eyes. Hey, John, don't you start!!!!:D

[The ho har's]

We had our monthly meeting for SLOw today at the Goodna RSL, top food there and great company:)

Everyone is thankful for the magnets and pens Tony and can't wait to meet you:D

We took 'connie-sue' she stopped about 1.5 k's from the RSL, scallops came to the rescue and towed us there for her to start to drive into the car park:D

coming home we made it to our driveway:) When she gets hot and I take my foot off the accelerator she seems to die and sometimes backfires, any ideas Jason? We did buy a new coil today as it was very hot.

Will fit that before we next take her out.

Everyone is thankful for the magnets and pens Tony and can't wait to meet you:D

We took 'connie-sue' she stopped about 1.5 k's from the RSL, scallops came to the rescue and towed us there for her to start to drive into the car park:D

coming home we made it to our driveway:) When she gets hot and I take my foot off the accelerator she seems to die and sometimes backfires, any ideas Jason? We did buy a new coil today as it was very hot.

Will fit that before we next take her out.

Mrs hh:angel:

It could be the coil , they do get hot but not to hot..Try the coil see how it goes..It could be a fuel problem to ,When it gets hot things expand so does the carby so could cause a leak or a sucktion.Carby's leak through the ventri shaft & will run rough or die from fuel starvation..But i'd start with the coil & dizzy..You can get the electronic convestion for your standard dizzy for under $50 on ebay i think ,That will help to..Landy engines arent the best to get the timing set corectly either ..Also chech & adjust all the valves , But they must be done right you cant just go along in the line & adjust them.theres a set order to do them.All in the manual..

a week and a half until take off Brian. We will need to start having a bit of a plan/think.

Mrs hh:angel:

Also if its heating up a bit its best to check & reset all the valves to, that can cause heating..& alot of other stuff..

Had a diesel 2.1/4 years ago wouldnt start & run..Had lots of people come look it over but could'nt sort it so i desided to check & reset the valves. Started first push on the button & ran realy smooth..

I will be doing a Petrol 2.1/4 rebuild thread towards the end of the week on how to rebuild one & all the settings & they way they go together..YES I AM BORED..Spent the last few weeks hand cleaning every part of it..OH & a trick for the front engine crank seal.:D..

Well use all know i have bad teeth, No not from drugs or alcohole or smoking.Wheni was living with my oldman if we got a toothache he'd just say go put a cloves on it.So thats all that was done for years & years..
I went to a dentist about 18 years ago to have a tooth pulled & he said yep that'll take about 10 minutes, Well 2 & a hlaf hours later he got it out .With a fractured jaw & real mess of me gum..& it would'nt stop bleeding so Karen rang him & all he said was to rinse it out with poroxide..I could'nt open my mouth to take any pain killers so Karen ended up getting a BEX & put it on water in a glass & i used to straw to take it.. MIND YOU I AM ABSOLUTLY PETREFIED OF DENTISTS..& the one a seen then was rude & very abrupt.
Anyway i wake up yesterday with a tooth ache this morning i wake up with a swollen tounge & a big lump under my jaw bone on the left side.. So i'm hoping my body will get rid of the poisen AGAIN..I have about 6 realy bad teeth where walls of the tooth is missing or theres only a bit of a wall left. But the one that is hurting only has about a quarter of one wall left & its only a bit of the corner & a huge hole..

I cant goto the free dentist as they all need surgicaly removed as they are bad & the waiting list is so long i'd be dead before they got to me..& i can tell ya the only way they are getting anywhere near me is if i'm knocked out..I dont care if they just pull all of em & give me falsies atleast i can take to em with the dremmel when they need a polish :D.. & to go to a private dentist or normal dentist it would cost a small mortgage to get done.:(:(..I have in the past tryd to pull them myself but its hard when theres not much to grab onto..I can get them done for free ,, When they give me a heartattack they'll do something about them then..I'd just love to be able to brush them instead of having to use a toothpick to clean em.Can't brush them as they are to painfull & just bleed nonstop:(..Ahwell oneday i'll get em done ..Should get someone to belt the **** outa me with a pipe & smash all me teeth that way they get done to..But i am petrefide of dentists.& if i was unfortunate to get one like the last one i recon i mite just grab em by the throat ..

It ****s me cause i have a problem so people just walk all over you..speak to you like **** .Have had medical people do it before all because i have mental health issues....

[banjo]

On other fronts i have cleaned all the engine bits up & just waiting on parts to get here..I need to still find an inlet manifold & a starter...When i have finished this rebuild the engine will be a straight bolt in & go with all new parts including carby , fuel pump , electronic dizzy.new clutch .& all new internals.It will just need to be fine tuned & away ya go..i cant do the fine tune as i dont have a car to put it in & run it...

I,m baaaaaack.....one of my grandsons was over today (no, not the one's you are thinking of Jason, I do have other ones) this grandson is studying IT at University and he soon diagnosed the problem as a problem with the drivers on the graphics card, so he downloaded the latest drivers from the NVIDIA site and that fixed the problem. Good, aye.:D:D So now you have to put up with me again.:D:D phew....and here I was thinking I had a bug in the system.

Not to sure , We do have a busy week this week..

[Landy Smurf]

ah ok. well if there was one day that suited better, i was going to come down and pick brian up and come to your place

[Ausfree]

ah ok. well if there was one day that suited better, i was going to come down and pick brian up and come to your place Never fear Jason, Brian will be there. We did have a cup of coffee today, was good to catch up with him.:D Time was limited (as always) as my grandson and mother-in-law were coming to visit for a BBQ. As previously posted the grandson sorted out my computer problems.:D Brian is limited in transport options this time as he flew down.

[Ausfree]

I'm surprised, my Thread on New Lawn Mowers is still going. I haven't posted on it since January, I've said all I wanted to anyway.:D

[banjo]

Will let use know.Karen is realy busy this week & i have heaps to get done.I have a couple of lawns to mow as i said i'd mow Garry's lawn since he has gone away for 10 or 12 weeks.I have to get some work done to camper cause i want it rego'd asap.Have the engine to get done cause i'm sic of falling over parts..I have to run fred to work some days & pick her up..
So we will let use know..

[banjo]

Maybe friday is a posable..

[banjo]

Or maybe we will just catch up next time..We have alot going on at home between us all at the moment aswell as alot of other stuff going on for us..Lifes just great ..None of us are happy & havent been for some time & things arent going to well for us as a family or betwen Karen & I..

[banjo]

Its a bastard when ya wake up each day & just wish you where dead..& its not just me..Karen said to me the other day after i was say i worry about the DUMB IRONS on the front of the green car cause i welded them with an old welder that was'nt realy suitable for the job.So i worry they may break while driving on a highway or something & i said to Karen i worry cause if they broke while at speed i would kill us all..She said well that could be a good thing sometimes.. So we have a lot happening & going on.Karen is hurt at the moment & cant take time off work.My teeth are giving me hell..Both kids are stuck in this ****y life with us & dont deserve to be..Karens birthday is on Thursday & she aint looking forward to it ..41st & for some reason she thinks she is old wrinkly fat & none of us can tell her differant..I'm sic of sitting around stewing in my own head.. But if i'm lucky i get a week like this one where i'm busy.I'd much rather be busy everyday & every week not just one week every now & then..Where all over this house but cant afford to move & this realestate would make it hell for us to move if we where able to all because we are good tenants & pay rent & all other stuff on time so they dont want us to ever move unless its on there turms & they know they have us over a barrel as such..they dont care about there tenants only about the money ..remember we had to go with out HOT water for over a week cause they didnt want to anoy the owner over a broken hot water system..I have never known a realestate like them & all we ever here about is how bad they are off others who rent & other owners with rentals & even sellers complain about them & leave even if it costs them..They seem to have a set of rules all of there own..

[banjo]

I'm surprised, my Thread on New Lawn Mowers is still going. I haven't posted on it since January, I've said all I wanted to anyway.:D

Bit like this thread, I thought this would of died in a week ..How wrong was I..

[Ausfree]

Jason, just talking to Mrs Aus and she said as far as your teeth are concerned, go to the Mater hospital Emergency, they will give you pain killers and a referal to a Dentist, because you are in pain the referal is straight away and it cost nothing. The step son (the one we have had problems with) was in exactly the same situation as you and this is what he did. He is also unemployed (getting some work, not much) and on the dole and it cost him nothing. His teeth were rotten from years of drug abuse and the pain was such that he had to do something.:D

[banjo]

Thanks Jim we will look into that.Although the teeth i need out have to be surgicaly removed.There old wisdom teeth :(..Fred is having trouble with her wisdom teeth at the moment as there just coming through then go down then come up again..Cody was to awhile ago but his seem ok..fred just has to put up with them till there up..

[banjo]

OOPSY kids just said Karens birthday is on SUNDAY not thursday . Thursday is Anzac day..They said dad your hopeless you dont even know when our birthdays are, I said i do to , MUM tells me the day before..

[Landy Smurf]

Yeah i will Jim. there starting to ease a bit now & i'm used to it & it does pass usualy only a week at most..I realy need to sort Karen out she is in a lot of pain & is starting be like me & live on panadole.She has hurt her back on the right side about mid way & is so bad she cant sit cant lay down & cant stand..She wont take time off work to try & help it .. I hate seeing Karen hurt so thats my main priorety for now..

We will probably give catching up a miss for now with brian & tony, Karen is my main concern for now..


IT DOES'NT HELP THAT SHE IS SO STUBBERN ASWELL..

[Landy Smurf]

That is ok Jason, maybe another time. But definitely before i move up north as it will be hard to catch up.
Hope things start to get better

[jerryd]

Jason, it might be worth checking out one of the dental universities around your area. They normally treat patients at half the cost of normal dentists and do a top job.

Ask me how I know ;)

[Landy Smurf]

moving to armidale.
They will get better

[Ausfree]

Jason.....if Karen is suffering backpain, tell her to go to a Doctor and get a referal to the physiotherapist at the Mater hospital. Costs nothing for people on a pension. Mrs Aus has done this when she had back problems.:D
If you looked at having your teething problems fixed and Karen took steps to fix her back problems,you both will be happier for it.

BUT TAKE THAT FIRST STEP!!!!!!!!:D:D

I was informed that the pain is in her shoulder blade on the back of her shoulder anyway..Yes we are looking into my teeth.But if they wont knock me out then i aint going anywhere near em.:(

[banjo]

Well today was one of those days..I started cleaning up the yard & had some large branches to cut up .With a bush saw you know the ones with the BIG teeth..This one was a cheap Aldi one..Well all was going well got half cut up Started another peice & the saw jumps out & bites be BIGTIME. Right in between the thumb & fore finger..So i txt karen & said i need you to come home i have cut my hand bad..Got cody to get me a hand towel as thats about all he can do when theres blood..Sent Karen pic before she got here , she said to fred oh crap that needs stitches..Came home & says that realy needs stitches , i say yeah i know BUT my doctor is off on leave.So we got it cleaned up & Karen dressed it & they left to go shopping so i went back to work..Then me sister txts we at target & nearly done can we call in..I said yeah.. Once they left i went & finished the lawns..By the time i was finished & had sweated so much the dressing was coming off , So took it off to redo..Its a bit deeper then we thought i can nearly put my little finger threw it from under it..I thought i had some grass in it but once cleaned its not grass or skin so i'd say i've hit a nurve AGAIN..So not a happy camper today..But i dont go to doctors for little cuts so just need to keep it clean & covered..I think Karen was stressing a little when she came home the first time cause she knew it needed stitches BUT also knew that there was noway i was going to the doctors..Ahwell just another crapy day in our lives.Whats one more..I have pics but thought i'd leave them out this time they are a bit grose..

[The ho har's]

No I don't think I need pics of that Jason:o

I hope you and Karen get to the doctors/dentists soon.

If you don't know I have had 2 back operations from a collapsed disc, Karen needs to get fixed soon.

Me too, Brian, I would have gone straight to Belmont hospital Casualty for stitches AND a tetanus shot, you never know, what germs may have got in!!!:)

[Ausfree]

Driving my bus through Wallsend at 8pm last night when some youths run up to the bus and threw half a house brick through one of the side windows. Everything happened that quick that I could not avoid the little ****s.:mad:

I stopped the bus straight away and reported the incident to base and they arranged to have another bus sent to me. Luckily I had no passengers on.:o

The brick hit with such force that it ****tered the entire window and left a hole near the bottom. If the brick had hit higher and somebody was sitting in that seat, it could have caused a serious injury.

The bus is now off the road, they will pull the hard drive and have a look at the video, maybe the little ****s are known to police.

The law is definitely not strict enough for minors, if these little ****s are caught, they will just get off with a caution.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Landy Smurf]

You are 100% right that the law is crap when it comes to minors

[Ausfree]

Yes Tony, if the brick had hit the window at head height, the force was such, it would have taken a passengers head off.:censored:

[Landy Smurf]

My brother was sitting on the school bus when someone through a rock at the window, it ****tered completely and had a 50c piece hole, he was lucky.

Na its all good guys.Plus who wants to sit for hours just to get maybe 3 stitches..I filled it up with bedadine & used 2 of the strip sticky things to hold it shuy overnight plus i covered with a bandaid or 2..Did the same this morning after i had a shower & its all clean & redid..I hate Hospitals , Doctors & dentists..Its actualy not that sore , I expected it to feel worse.& Vickie is getting me the SKIN GLUE so will fill it with that tonight..

When i nearly cut me finger off in the old house we held it all together with bandaids cause it was tea time .& we cleaned it all up & i went to the doctors the next morning & he said na thats ok its healing already just keep it clean & covered.Did that for a week or so then left it uncovered to heal & got a nice scab on it & there barely a scar there..

[banjo]

I must be getting old I used to put metho on em straight away but that stings way to much for me nowa days..Must be getting old or wussy or just both..:o

[Landy Smurf]

So did you wish karen happy bday today jason? :p
How is everything there going?

[Landy Smurf]

Well today is my last day of doing nothing..well for a while.
We are cementing another slab tomorrow and then going for a drive to check out paddocks.
On the weekend I need to clean the car and pack things ready to go.
I need to compile a playlist for the trip, so I need to borrow my brothers iPod or buy one as I may need to delete his tracks which he would not like.

[Landy Smurf]

Did anyone do anything for ANZAC day.
I was slack today and did not go to any services.

[Ausfree]

Did anyone do anything for ANZAC day.
I was slack today and did not go to any services.
Visited my one and only nephew who has had a stroke and is Maitland Hospital!!!! All appears to be OK, he seems to be talking OK. You never know when a stroke can hit, he is 55 years old.

If anybody thinks they are having a crappy life.....try this on for size.

Kevin (my nephew) is the eldest son of my older brother. Kevin used to have three brothers..... now have a look at this list....

1) Paul died in 1969 at the age of 7 with a hole in the heart.
2) Greg age 18 was killed in a car accident in 1978, age 18.
3) Tony died of aids in 1995 aged in his 30's.

Cliff, Kevin's father (my older brother) died in 2003 of a heart attack at the age of 67 and Kevin's mother died a year later after 6 strokes aged 69.

Kevin is separated, living on his own and has no contact with his former partner and his 17 year old daughter. This distresses him somewhat. Upsetting for Mrs Aus and me too.

Sooooo, I think Kevin has certainly been hit with the bad luck stick.

they certainly can be very scary as like heart attacks can really happen to anyone anytime

Good to hear that Karen has got help:) not good to hear she has shingles though:( you really need to get help with your hand, probably too late now tough, for the nerve damage;)

Mrs hh:angel:

[The ho har's]

On a Happy note...

Tony's schedule.......

Tony and Brian will be here on the night of the 30th...I assume.

Wednesday we will be at the Arthur Goddard talk with dinner.

Thursday I will be at work for a short time... spanners and tools will be shown to Tony for series trucks to be worked on:D

Thursday night we will be going to the GCLRO meeting which involves dinner and drinks:D

Friday we are going camping with Defenders and series vehicles for 2 nights:D

I hope you like the timetable Tony:D:D:D:D

Mrs hh:angel:


I do like it. I was about to PM you about it today but got sidetracked.
It is so good that there is a lot on and a lot of meeting and greeting while I am there.


Now, dinner arrangements while camping:D

I thought we would have a roast beef with baked veggies 1 night and something like spag bol or somthing the other, thoughts Tony??

Breakfast, toast? or do you want bacon and eggs?

Lunch will be what ever comes:D

Mrs hh:angel:

[The ho har's]

We can sort food out when you get here;)

Gee Brian may want to come to if he sees the menu:cool:

Remember Tony in Qld you have to cover your load, you get a fine, $130.00, for every item that is not covered/straped down in your ute. Harry suggests a blue tarp with with straps/rope over the top.

Mrs hh:angel:

[Landy Smurf]

Ah i did not know that. I have a tool box in the back of the ute that holds everything i take with me

[Landy Smurf]

Yeah sort the food out when i get there would be great.
Something tells me that there will be a lot of chatting when i am there.
I am so looking forward to getting away from my crappy life here and to just try and enjoy being me without all the strings attached.
I am really thinking/hoping things from when 9am monday morning on wards will hopefully be the big start of the new Tony.
I do potentially have some big and new things on the horizon, I just hope things happen the way i hope they do. fingers crossed.

[Landy Smurf]

turn the tv on and see 2 s3 and a 101fc chasing a gorilla oh yeah
oh know now it is just the 101 as the other 2 went to heaven. :'(

Certainly was a challenge for the old eyes. Hey, John, don't you start!!!!:D

Hey guys, continuing to have computer problems, my grandson ( the university student one) has had another look at it and we have decided to get a new one.:D

He is going to order the parts and build it up for me, meanwhile I am limping along with this one.:( He has built up computers before so I will go along with what he recommends for the computer usage that I do. So, I might be a bit scarce for the next couple of weeks, depending on how this one goes, it seems very slow and I am getting constant screen freezes, so it is VERY frustrating to use.:mad:

Hey Banjo, reading on another Forum that a new member is interested in Clawhammer Banjo's.......what is a Clawhammer Banjo.

I pick a banjo like in the clip there..Claw hammer is strumming using the bird finger & thumb & looks like your holding a hammer.. I cant play that way to save meself..Sounds great though..If you want to see some awesome banjo playing look on utube for sleepy mans banjo band the banjo player in about 13 now i guess..They got there name from him cause when he was learning he would lay on a bed close his eyes & play ..There 3 brothers..They are awesome..

That it twas Dave :p

[Landy Smurf]

I saw the sleepy men banjo boys on david lettermen one night they are really good. Also if you are not aware steve martin is pretty good too.

[Landy Smurf]

Well now the task of trying to recall the week that was.
I met Brian at Cessnock where we made way to Ballina.
It was a pretty good trip up plenty of talking about all sorts of things.
The next morning we had a slow start as we had plenty of time to kill before getting to the Ho Har's.
We arrived just before mrs HH got there.
Soon after Glen(ZD) arrived, I felt very out of place :p .
Big thanks to Brian for coming along I do not know if you ever picked up on it at all but I was quite down a few parts along that route as the last time I did it or any big trip it was under different circumstances and it was great to have someone to distract me, I hope it was not to painful for you :)

[Landy Smurf]

The next night was AG night.
Unfortunately things did not go our way and got there just before the presentation(video).
It was great to start meeting more people and to see some old landys around.
Well Thursday did not disappoint either.
Went over to see Tim and check out his land rovers(nice collection) and had quite a bit of time chatting before I went back via Dan Murphys only because the GPS said it was Ikea(I got there in the end).
Ikea was my favourite shop/store in Sweden and quite often went there for a meal as well so I had to test it out to see how I would go.
After getting back to hotel land rover, Harry took me for a spin in the 101 to visit Glen and digger if you read this he has the best gun buggy ever and he even let me take it for a drive and taught(tried) me to drive an old series. It was my first legal drive of a series, Oh happy days :D
Thursday night was GDLROC meeting night where I met more aulro members and re-met some others which made it better for the following days.
Oh and I apparently met a wingding pom(there is always something) at some stage :p
But in all seriousness Dave.......(dam it what do I say here again) :p

[Landy Smurf]

And now for the main event :eek:
I woke up Friday morning at a time I did not know existed, packed the landys and hit the frog and toad.(probably more toad then frog though)
Had the best ride in the S1 and I think if the wind had changed at any point during that trip I would have a permanent smile on my face.
I am not big on words as you all know so I will let the pictures do the talking.

We met Weeds and Kevin on our way in and went to the campsite before going for a drive to see what we could work out(we did not work out anything).
We went on a interesting track that starts very basic to end up in low 1st and IIRC mrs HH had a fairly bumpy ride going down a hill with a very quiet engine.

Firday night was quite quiet, people slowly came in and quite a few at night time.
It was nice to have a smaller group around the camp fire and also to have a fellow NSW person there.
Saturday was a great day especially once I had cleaned the cow **** from my feet after the previous nights walk back to get a drink.
Us who camped the night went and got started on the defender parking apart from Mrs HH and Kevin(extreme) who had the task of getting up early and meeting the convoy in Boonah and Mr HH who had to show the campers who had trailers where to go
It was good watching the defenders and especially the series go through the creek crossing( the series owned it over the defenders).
I was lucky enough to get a ride back in a 107 S/W :D

[Landy Smurf]

Double post again

[Landy Smurf]

some people chose to go for a drive while others sat back and relaxed.
Even though everyone spoke to everyone people still kept to little groups especially at night time, No doubt ours was the best.We attracted them from near and far.

While the others were away scallops and I thought why not start drinking, hence we started drinking.
I was very fortunate to have kevin(extreme) and Scallops put on a outback my kitchen rules show for me.

The next morning was slow to say the least(well for me) I was unsure how the series ride would go, thankfully it went well.
No thanks to Inc. scarring the crap out of me with the horn...
I was lucky enough to do the gates on the way back and of course collect my rewards(thanks Inc, Mrs Inc and extreme).
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/05/1034.jpg (http://s948.photobucket.com/user/tonysmera/media/defender%20day/DSCF2195_zps713d16eb.jpg.html)
Fairly soon after arriving back at team Ho Har's ranch I left as I had a big drive to my brothers place 30 mins south of Narrabri.( I think it took me about 7 hours with a few stops).
I stopped along the road to stretch my legs near Moree.

Yeah i still have them all..Have to build a new kitchen for the camper & also patch 2 small holes in the floor of camper section..We put 12 months rego on the green one about a month ago & it has just sat out the front since , Has'nt moved..I still have all of Harry but have'nt done anything to it..I have just about finished the 2.25 engine rebuild all with brandnew parts..Looks pretty good to..
Yeah i'd love a bike an old ridgit Triumph or swing arm & id just put the hard ass on it..BUT Fred gets her Ps next month so Karen needs a car so i am thinking of swapping the green car for a car for Karen for work. To the same value $5000 ONO.. So if you know anyone with a car that wants a landy LET US KNOW..or a bike & car to same value..:D

G'Day all, still struggling. bad news the PCU does not match the Motherboard, so after a lot of checking out had to order a new one to match. Good news (I guess) is its more powerful!!!

Sweet id like to buy more or atleast a SWB . Cause cody's going to need a car soon he gets his Ls this year..

Not much Cody was home yesdy with a bad cold & staying home today.Fred & i are starting to get the cold now.Karen had a fall at work on Mondy & is all bruised down her left side between boob & hip.She also had a flu shot last week so she mite be the only one to miss it this time..
Nearly finished the landy engine just a couple of things to do then its done..Pulled the engine out of Harry yesdy aswell & started to pull it all apart..Don't think i'll get to much done today or the next few days with this cold or MAN FLU as karen says i always get , But i usualy only get a cold once every 4 or so years but i do get a bad lot of it..

I been having those days again.Cant be bothered getting out of bed & Having trouble geting motivated ..Dont like life very much these days .Buying a house has fallen through again .We have always said to my parents we would need to borrow off them as well a few grand to get to where ever we buy..They said they would get a loan on there house for us to buy a house but we think its only for about 20K so would'nt get much of a house for that..But now mother is saying well use need to SAVE to get yourselves there..IF we was able to save i would have my Harry on the road by now..I think its her way of getting out of helping..Which is fine but just say ya dont want to help..But this way it doesnt make her look bad..So struggling most days here & now getting a cold aint gunna help as im terrible with a cold cause i nearly dieing Karen says :(:mad::D..

We did how ever look on the housing site & found the waiting times for around here,..We now have changed our first choice from aroung here Cardiff which has a 20 plus year wait . to a first choice of Dungog as it has a waiting time of around 2 years . but we are on the bottom of that list as such But thats fine cause its only 2 years..

[Landy Smurf]

cool dungog is a nice area.
My whole family has had the flu and I am not sure if i may be getting it or if it is just the fact that it is cold that is making me feel like crap.
I will probably be getting a s1 88' you could put that motor your doing in it and get it rego for cody.
He will have to fight the chicks off then :p

[banjo]

Hey tony let me know a cost for it..I just could be interested ..Where is it cause id have to get it here ..What sort of condition is it in ?????

[Landy Smurf]

I am going to look at a lot of 5 series I do not know what it is like at all.
I should be going there friday or saturday and depending on whether the price si worth the effort of getting 5 land rovers and bringing them home is worth it.

Well today was one of those days..I started cleaning up the yard & had some large branches to cut up .With a bush saw you know the ones with the BIG teeth..This one was a cheap Aldi one..Well all was going well got half cut up Started another peice & the saw jumps out & bites be BIGTIME. Right in between the thumb & fore finger..So i txt karen & said i need you to come home i have cut my hand bad..Got cody to get me a hand towel as thats about all he can do when theres blood..Sent Karen pic before she got here , she said to fred oh crap that needs stitches..Came home & says that realy needs stitches , i say yeah i know BUT my doctor is off on leave.So we got it cleaned up & Karen dressed it & they left to go shopping so i went back to work..Then me sister txts we at target & nearly done can we call in..I said yeah.. Once they left i went & finished the lawns..By the time i was finished & had sweated so much the dressing was coming off , So took it off to redo..Its a bit deeper then we thought i can nearly put my little finger threw it from under it..I thought i had some grass in it but once cleaned its not grass or skin so i'd say i've hit a nurve AGAIN..So not a happy camper today..But i dont go to doctors for little cuts so just need to keep it clean & covered..I think Karen was stressing a little when she came home the first time cause she knew it needed stitches BUT also knew that there was noway i was going to the doctors..Ahwell just another crapy day in our lives.Whats one more..I have pics but thought i'd leave them out this time they are a bit grose..

I know how to sew a button on a shirt, so I would stitch it up for for you if you want me too do that. Should I bring my sewing needle and cotton--hope you get healed soon, John

want to buy a surf Kayak for exercise-- a Mega X-ray Kayak was $350 and did not have that money [the one on Gumtree is $875 in comparison], so went kerb side shopping today during a clean up day, and found a aviary, which I will paint and sell, etc. So hope to raise money that way.

Lots of second hand Kayaks can be found. If you can fiberglass properly, you could possibly hire a kayak mold--you used to be able to do that 30 years ago, but do not know about now. I built myself a couple of Kayaks from Fiberglass,but that was decades ago when I was in a canoe club and used the club molds.
