Title: The Countdown Begins........
Post by: MnMs 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

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......

We've just arrived home from 10 days camping down at Bargara.  We should have just kept going past home, headed for Fraser and spent 3 weeks there.  No stress here, just have to arrange beverage supplies.  ;D

Or maybe I need a leccie to check that wiring too....  ;D Yeah I noticed as soon as I pulled out and pulled over to get it sorted... loose wiring somewhere in the plug I suspect as a few wiggles etc and all is good till the next bump.... praise the soft ride of the Patrol and independant sprung camper that it goes good for extended drives...  ;D Might get time to have a gander after the fifty million things to do this weekend....  :'(

Still waiting on my P3 brake controller to turn up and the wiring to run power to a rear anderson plug. Hopping it all arives this week so I can fit it over the week end. Plus I have a tutor session with Campklowss on the setup of the Lifestyle camper.
