Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

If you have problems with going to sleep/insomnia, keep reading...

The first batch of tacs printed tried to have red and yellow (Hi Lo ranges) combined with green and gold (Australia): http://www.remlr.com/images/tac7.gif

The whole story is here TAC info- www.remlr.com

ZZZZzzzzzzz

Just for the record, my tac signs are not intended to affiliate me with remlr, while i have signed up, im not up to advertising that fact yet.

They also red/white, not red/yellow.

but it's about a 10 hour drive for me. I'd get there and then have to turn around and come back again.

We're on site from Thursday through Monday morning and the event is Friday through Sunday, so you don't have to make it quite so short if you can find the time away from work for traveling/sleeping.

That would make it 2 Corps Mounted Regiment AIF WWI. (light Horse, a precursor for Armoured regiments)

Indeed.
i see someone knows their history.

The 4/19 1tp A sqn adopted the red/white with the dancing devil from the 13pwlh as their unit patch.

And flipped horizontally it becomes 13th as well.

I'm currently preparing to visit my daughter on the other side of the mountains mid may. I don't yet have so much as a spare tire or wheel brace.

My other vehicle is running on radiator gasket repair goo, and is unsafe for the trip.

I need both the money and time.
and I'm also needed for museum duty/self employment this weekend.

Looking like it's going to be a longer trip next year.

Just to add to my spamming of this topic:

Managed to get my antenna coax in place today, and dragged out my late brother's old IC208H amateur set, and currently mounting it behind the passenger's seat, and ran wires for the remote head and mic.

Extension speaker to come tomorrow.

Also adjusted passenger door, but after new door top seals and studs, the top still separates from the top seal.

New seal time I think.

Fixed the canvas position on the windscreen clamp, after close observation of Les Hiddin's rig.

Negotiating for a spare rim.
Got spare key blanks in as I snapped my only spare.

They don't fit the lock barrels... This is the second time...

Wheel Brace shouldn't be far away.

Painted my bottle jack with leftover paint from the bullbar because... well why not - what doesn't look good in olive drab?

Then it got too dark, and I remembered I had to work tomorrow.

What's your call sign?

Probably only going to sit on chook band for now. Installing for emergency comms on upcomming trip.

Was about to resit my advanced licence and my assessor died.

Seems to be happening alot lately.
So I'm yet to be assigned a VK3 yet.

since then the bairnsdale radio group disbanded and reformed somehow.

Will tackle that after I return from the states in august.
