The Countdown Begins........
« on: March 15, 2010, 09:49:15 AM »
I knew that Ketsi wasn't going to start this thread, :-* so here we go.

47 Sleeps to go.....

Hopefully this should keep us all on track with our preparations as we get closer to the trip. Even when I wrote 47 sleeps it was a little daunting at how quickly the trip is approaching.....the excitement is building!!!

 :cheers:
Marc.

47 !  Bugger,...................... I haven't repaired the cruiser from our last outting to the beach yet  :'( , guess I had better get my finger out and make a start because before we know it we'll be down to 3 sleeps and then I'll go into full panic mode.

Remember I said that you could use Julie's 10 fingers and 10 toes.  That makes 20.  And then you can use your 10 toes and...........  How many fingers did you say you had again!!  Anyway you should have close to 40 so give or take a couple of days you could then join in the countdown.  Or better still, just carry on from our count and you can't go wrong.  ;D

 :o :o :o GSUS.......just over 3 weeks to go till we hit the road and so much to be done......AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I don't think there is going to be much spare time left between now and Friday 30 April @ 10am.  :'(

Gotta get some accessories on the new bus as a priority, service the Camper bearings, fill the grease nipples, put a new hitch on the camper, blah blah blah.......and the time is flying by.

Gotta get off here and back into the garage.......the turbo timer and anderson plug is almost completed. The Coupler Tec also has to be done tonight and the brake controller tomorrow. It is going to be a tight schedule these next 3 weeks.

23 sleeps left for us......
