Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Saturday. A bit frosty this morning. Outside that is!

After yesterday's internet fiasco, I had a similar start this morning, it has just suddenly started to behave nicely again. Long may it last!

The trundlebuggy has its MOT this morning. Oner thing after another!

Have a happy day everyone.

How's life up top?

[waterboatman]

G'day mate.

All in order so far thanks, But it's early yet! :o}

How's life in downsideupland today?

[1ozzy]

I'm knackered.

Spent today metal fabricating with youngest.

He wanted to make a couple of frames for the back of his ute to mount a luggage rack on. All finished, painted and fitted. 38c isn't the ideal climate for that sort of activity, but, it's always good getting into a project with him.

I feel a few coldies are in order now.

[waterboatman]

I know what you mean mate. I use to love doing things with the boys. They don't need my help anymore.

We could do with a few days of warmth here. :o}

I'm fine thanks wendi. I don't like the cold these days. In years gone by I would go out in shorts and a t shirt. Not any more!

[waterboatman]

That is a work of art oz. What a cracking idea too!

[wendilla]

For the first time I done an on line shop from asda and I was amazed at how many carrier bags there were with hardly anything in them one just had a packet of biscuits and another a pack of baking potatoes and none of them full .but the nice man carried them all through the to kitchen .

[waterboatman]

That's rather wasteful wendi. No wonder so many end up in the sea...although none of them, or any other rubbish should end up in the sea!

He is setting this vehicle up nicely for camping. We made two sliding racks that clip in with cam locks, one hold a fridge the other a gas cooker. Open the tailgate, slide them out, rotate one 90 degrees left, the other to the right, the tailgate then is used for the kitchen bench.
Having the overhead rack means he doesn't need to empty the tray to roll his swag out. He and his girlfriend sleep under the stars in the back of the ute away from snakes and other creepy crawlies.

[waterboatman]

Excellent thinking and planning oz. A brilliant idea!
You could have a good business there between you.
Each one tailor made for the vehicle.

[waterboatman]

Only had one spammer so far this morning. Spoiling my fun, so they are!

Morning all, hard frost here in the land of the blue.
Early start to a week of 12 hour shifts but the boss has been up and put the heating on so not all bad.
Just waiting for the nightshift driver to phone saying he's on his way and we're off.
Weather forecast says back to double figures very soon and for the week to come. :-)
