Do you have a CDL stick. If not, maybe a good time to install. If so, I can't help too much.
When our last car blew up ( http://jandmf.com/index.php/2020/02/07/car-is-dead/ ) one of the new car "must have's" was a fitted and working CDL and we found one so that doesn't need doing. Besides, that's a job that nobody should ever have to do more than once.

Dunno about confined to barracks.
I dont think Ive ever seen so many families walking/bike riding/groups of people out for a stroll in 40 years.
While picking materails today, the amount of people walking the main street of Maclean with masks on, coffee in hand peering into closed shop windows.
Whst's that about?
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

After being a mower man for 8 or 9 years and now, 18 months out here playing with cars, not much has changed in the main game.

My biggest beef, is having a car that burns 25l per 100, fuel at a $1.00 and trying to find a reason to drive it.  ???

The wife has been cut to 30 hours and some of that from home..... but overall.... pretty easy peasy.
I'll be finishing off and engine rebuild in a few days, I have 12 acres to mow and I've decided to re-open and refurb the inground pool I buried 10 years ago.

So heaps to do.

Whenever we camped, unless as a group, we always looked for the secluded spot.
Same deal when we would go the beach.'
Same deal when we would go boating.

I've been building up for this for ages.

Interesting though, to see people loosing their Shit over the isolation deal.

I only found out today, its Easter on Friday.
I told Astrid I would duck up to Shane's (sunny coast) to pick up the modded head on Friday.
I guess it will be Thursday now.
I DON'T CARE HOW NICE THE HAND SOAP SMELLS.....

You should never walk out of the public toilets sniffing your fingers.

Yeah Fizzie, he still makes 'em.

Just spend 20 minutes on the phone debating how he hasn't charged enough for his work.
I'll sort it on pick up.... the Nimrod.

Just contact HPEngines for his number.

There's a 'data recording' ute on the highway  hanging around the moby dick servos that doesn't seem to be recording koala data more targeting number plate data. Maybe take the scenic route past aussie zoo.

Setting up to clean out the shed and have a crack at some more work on the camper trailer.
More than likely be banished to the shed if my test comes back positive.
Getting ready for the fall out...
Arrange room for swag, latrine area and cooking area in the shed first I spose.

Take care all...


We're all ere coz we ain't all there.

so much for softly softly in Australia just use gang violence to enforce lockdown.

"While Australians face steep fines for breaking social distancing measures introduced to stem the spread of coronavirus, the residents of one Central American nation are being kept indoors through more brutal means.
Baseball bats are among the weapons of choice for the organised crime gangs in El Salvador, who have been enforcing the government's lockdown with ruthless force.
Other tactics employed by the gangs include circulating recordings on messaging applications threatening people who break the rules and producing videos showing masked gang members hitting people for breaking quarantine rules.
A mass outbreak of COVID-19 would be especially devastating in the small nation of six million people, due to widespread poverty and low investment in public health.

For al the whinging and whining about current attempts to keep people inside and people comparing it to a prison, this would give them something to whinge and whine and cry about.  I am quite happy sitting where I am

Topic is rested for a while, lets cool our heals and spend some time with family. At these time the Mods have decided to close threads that are causing a lot of unbalance to the forum.

While we recognise that at these times there are items that need to be discussed the amount of off track comments and attack to members is not needed.

Please stay safe and use the report to mod button if you find something that is not per the forums normal attitudes
