Reckon we could be at Yamanto Macdonald`s around 9.45am.  :drinks:

Awwwww!! First reaction was you bet, I'm there. Then realized this is a stay at home and mow the lawn weekend as we have zero dollars spare. Only because my dear 16yo had her braces fitted today, which came with a whopping down payement which we didn't really have.

Have fun!  :good2: :cray: :good2: :cray: :good2: :cray:


Edit, Mrs Ray reminded me I have some money stashed somewhere, will let you know General.
Double edit --- Due to the rather large bang outside just now,  we now have to hunt for a new hot water system over the weekend. Ummmm, this can't be happening, really..........  :dash2: :dash2:

No worrries mate, will take plenty of picks. Tip: if the HWS is near ya bedroom window, watch out for noisey "heat Pump" replacements. (Thanks to the solar industry you can pick up fairly new ones second hand for huge savings. here`s one that even includes solar eg http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/eight-mile-plains/other-appliances/rheem-325l-electric-boosted-water-system-with-2-solar-panels/1021218590 (http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/eight-mile-plains/other-appliances/rheem-325l-electric-boosted-water-system-with-2-solar-panels/1021218590)   $550)

No worries megsy, I only found out Wednesday when I was up in Townsville. Jimmy (Soundrider Bike Communications) rang me. Apparently still wanting to work out how to make his kwaka 1400 keep up with stock fj`s.  :sarcastic: (last time we squirmed our way into the BMW tent and ate all their goodies) It`s at Sydney in August. Calendar here: http://asbk.com.au/ (http://asbk.com.au/)  Also got a reply from the starlight foundation about handling their tickets for North Brisbane area next time.
...Could become an annual FJ event no prob.  :drinks:

Mate, it was cold enough today with the wind ripping through. We had hot showers though! Get the open BBQ fire going, fill the big stainless casserole pot with water, heat it up, hook up the 12v camping shower and we're set.  :good2:
