I was planning on this but Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has said no. (We can attend but getting back into QLD will be damn expensive)   :diablo: :diablo:
Also Ray, you must remember that if you need hospital care in NSW , you'll have to travel back to Qld!
Just saying that Prem AP says Qld hospitals are only for Queenslanders and no one else can treat them  :good:

Bugger Al. We'll do a pie run then :good2:.

Ray, we've still got the Bermie shed day later in the year. I think Prem AP might have watched that movie 28 Days Later and taken some inspiration  :sarcastic:.

It would be sadder if there was political tit for tat if the situation reverses  :rofl:.

Shed day update.

Anyone after a dyno run? I've not spoken with Simon, but we'd need a few and I don't need to.

Plan for Friday,  :drinks:.

Plan for Saturday: Bacon and eggs. Run to Robertson Pie shop the long way. Return same. Then  :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:. Only then do we break out the tools. After more  :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: it is time for Gav's welding to commence. Dinner and  :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:. The pure FJ gold.

Sunday,  :dash2: :dash2: :wacko2: :bad:. Everyone surprises Troyskie by cleaning up while he sleeps in. Bacon and eggs. Everyone leaves. Troyskie's family is ungagged, unchained, given water and food, then restrained again. Troyskie goes back to the shed.....

Hi Troyskie
I will volunteer for another dyno run. Would be interesting to see if the timing advance and Hi Octane fuel makes a difference.
Brackets ready to weld, just requires a little paint removal.
Planning on leaving home 06:00 Friday.
Will be a lonely 2 hour run without Alan.

Does anyone want to check their "SAG". If so, I will bring my Slacker.

Well Troy, I guess letting you know now that I won't be there is only a formality under the circumstances, I can't leave Melbourne, let alone cross the border.

Have fun guys.

Only kidding mate. Just heard Prem DA extending lock-down and slowing down the re-opening.

A huge bummer mate, but I must say I agree with it. It is costing me three salaries to have people 'working from home'in VIC, but I'm happy to pay and support a sensible way out. I'm not making use of job keeper etc. as construction in VIC has continued, albeit differently.

But mate, there is light at the end of the lock-down! Bermie is just around the corner, and as long as we don't get another hotel quarantine style fuck-up you should be good for Bermie  :good2:.

Wash your bikes chaps!

Al can't make it but might meet us at the pie shop. We'll meet in the town pie shop (opposite the park), not the 'Pie Shop' regular. Al has arranged a guy from 'Old Bike Magazine' coming as they're doing an article on FJs.

Diesel is asked does anyone need any parts he can fit on the bike? He has heaps of spares and is cleaning out.

Looks like a sponge and chamois are in order to go with the fine pale ale I am bringing.

Troy, could I borrow a bucket and some detergent?

   A great big thank you to Troy and Nicole for hosting another fantastic FJ shed weekend. I'm sure everyone who attended also had a great time.
The food, the ride and the beer were just part of the good things that make the weekend very memorable. The company, the stories and stirring
all contribute to the great feeling you get when attending one of these weekends.
Thanks also to those who made the effort to get there. Looking forward to the next one already. Details for the Bermagui weekend will be posted soon.
   Regards, Pete.  :good2: :drinks:
