    That's the colour mate. Macca's aren't red and yellow for nothing. It's spooky mind control stuff.
    Red actually makes people feel hungry, and yellow is a promise of a better tomorrow.
    But, we are red and white, coz white is the good guy colour.

    Ours have been downgraded by about 40%, so far. Bad year here. Real promising opening to the season, then no rain at all for 8 weeks. Some local blokes put the livestock into the crop paddocks weeks ago because there is bugger all to harvest. Yet 60 k's down the road they talk of a bumper year. And I drove the bus down to the CBH site on Tuesday evening, and the lass opened up for business Wednesday morning. Luckily, the CBH site is between us and town at the bottom of the hill. That's probably how she got up to that hurtling pace.

    Looks like a good bit of work, Shorty!

    I for one am glad the ol' bus can't do more than 65 - it means there won't be any of that horrible fast food being served!!

    Not a fan off it myself.

    Killer, can you wait a bit? Low gear assent and all that.
    Might take a while.

    BTW, NOT Killer Durdin is it?

    Thank's Quiggers.

    That is the long term plan for it, in the short term that is.

    While we were still struggling to get her up to scratch for commercial use, there was a short discussion on where the shower, toilet, etc were going.

    This one is an earner.
    But we do have some ideas for future projects.
    This only took 3 1\2 months, start to finish, with myself being the only full time worker. And I'm a cripple.
    With 3 of us in partnership working full time, we should be able to knock out a full mobile home conversion, designer interior and all, in about 6 weeks.
    Look out Winnebago, the Mallee boys are coming to town.

    Phew.

    Long time back now. A Navy cook, a senior hand, earned the name "killer". Hung over or some such and mistook the dish washing detergent drum for the cooking oil drum.
    Easy mistake, they were both a different colour.

    Eggs and bacon were not a popular dish for a while.

    Killer, was forever, banished from the galley, and spent his last couple of years in the Navy as the "Captain" of the Cafeteria.

    True story, it happened on board HMAS Melbourne, when I was still only under training as a 16 year old kid.
