    So much for my nap.

    So I had about one hour to grab some shuteye before tonights shift, and I was comfortably 20 minutes in, when some old codger decides to arrive at the door and set the dogs off. Turns out he was after his daughter's house, next door. I accept his explanation, tell him to be careful negotiating the driveway and I go back to sleep.

    10 minutes later, more barking. He's at the door again... ok... this is weird. What does he want? He wasn't sure he'd make it reversing up the driveway (Fair enough. It should be rated black diamond). I tell him he doesn't have to, as we have a ring road, so he can go around and drive forwards up the hill. I wonder if he'll be back?

    Is it just me, or do others sometimes wish people would get stuck so you can have fun recovering them? I wished especially hard that he would get stuck, after he ruined my nap. That would have made it all worthwhile.

    I went out to Boat Harbour (4wd access beach at Kurnell near Cronulla) had the jetski on the back of the D1, saw some fella had embodied his stupidly massive patrol on a dune so i went up and said "You stuck mate?, Do you mind if i recover you?" haha, turns out his mate had tried to pull him out with his 4runner on 35's so i snatched him out first, (shoulda seen his face because his tyres would have cost as much as my car), after he was out i then drove into where he was stuck (front had 40psi in them and rear i'd dropped to 26psi as i was feeling lazy), made that look easy then winched the Patrol out. When i thought about it i think i could ahve driven both out, ut the buzz off pulling them out with the landrover was better haha, nothing like going out of your way for patriotism LOL, so yes we do go out of our way to pull people out. Trust me in the 2010 harvest we were getting the harvester bogged ~2 times a day, i was driving the tractor with the chaser bin and had to take it off many times a day to pull the header out, and it was fun, never got boring.

    Cheers
    Will

    Sounds like you had a ball. I've recovered a cabbie who drove off a rock ledge once. He didn't even thank me afterwards. He just asked for directions and buggered off!
