Mrs hh

Not a great deal happening here been working on Harry when i can, rains oneday the sunny the next & keeps going like that..

I have'nt heard from Aus accept the short posts so was thinking i may have ofended him or upset him.I think of Jim as i did of OLD TOM that used to call in & see me before he passed away.I have a lot of respect for Jim so does Karen & we both think Jims wife is awesome , The pair of them are always so happy..Old Tom was the only person i ever seen outside of my mother who used to call in on monday morning before her ten pin bowling..Old Tom was the only person to call in & see if i was ok. he called in weekly unless he was away.A few days after he passed away his daughter was diagnosed with canser in a very bad way & they did'nt think she would live i used to service her car regulary but have'nt seen her since Tom died .. I got a shock the other day they drove past while i was mowing the lawn & tooted to me, I was happy that day just to see them out & remember me.I miss Tom badly as we used to laugh alot & he would encourage me to keep doing what ever i was working on..I wish he got to see the green car finished & to see we have the camper & that i have been away even though it was only to my folks place..I'm hoping he would of been proud that i did that..He seen me at my worst but never ever said anything.. Yeah i miss Tom..

I have been meaning to get to his place but now we back to one car & Karen uses it for work & weekend to get stuff we need & isnt home much & i have'nt been out for awhile..Just never seems to be enough hours in a day lately..
Plus the green car wants to play up every other day bloody car..
When i built it we where worse off then what we are now so alot of things parts just got put back on.The only brandnew things we fitted where the springs & shocks everything else was secondhand or just put on..Oh yeah new brakes which i'm guessing need replacing by now..
We got the power steering all sorted now & Karen says its all good again.

Hey Banj, don't be upset, I'm still here mate. it's just that working 6 days a week keeps me going and I do have to keep an eye on "Landytown" as you know I am a moderator there and it does take up some time!!! I will have to call around and catch up, mate!!!

Glad to see that some of us lot are alive and well

Banjo, chin up mate, if we were closer we would call in but alas we aren't

You are doing a terrific job, keeping things running, keep up the good work

Hope that is not the royal we!

Saw you driving the "Green Machine" this morning Karen, I did wave hoped you saw me!!! Bloody rain, I was all ready to put Concrete Sealer over our driveway. It is what they call a stencilled type which needs resealing every now and then. I last did it about twelve years ago and it is way overdue to be redone. I pressure blasted the driveway last weekend and did it again during the week plus trimming the grass right away from the edges. I bought two 20litre drums of sealer and a bag of ground glass (spread over the sealer to prevent slipping when you walk on it), plus a couple of cheap nylon brooms to brush the sealer on.

Weather has been great all week, and I wake up early this morning all primed for action, looks out the window.................Bloody Rain!!

My FL1 will have clocked up 120,000k's in a few months so I contacted ALLFourx4 to ask them to check their records as I believe the previous owner had the engine rebuilt sometime before he sold it. I wanted to check if the T-Belts had been replaced so I would'nt have to go to the expense of replacing them. The answer I got back was that they have no record of the car prior to me bringing it to them for service. This seems strange as when I first went there the receptionist looked up the computer and mentioned the first owners name. Also when I was having the Auto Tranny problems a few years back the mechanic working on my car had to order parts through them and mentioned that the vehicle has a track record there.
Anyrate, Banj, I asked AllFourx4 for a rough estimation for a 120,000k service and to replace the T-Belts and the estimate came in at just under $2,000.

We have about four months to go before the vehicle reaches 120,000ks and we are starting to think about getting rid of it and buying a Jeep Cherokee!!!!!!

NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!

Don't you bloody dare James..........................next you'll be wanting to drive Hino or Isuzu busses.
