oh goodness Dave that is a bit overloaded lol...

good news all i have received news late today that because of the delayed nature of the upcoming election i can take the Monday off so I will be up on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights although i must return to Brisbane for the day Saturday

Therefore ... Alan prepare the PLEASURE DOME, Dave prepare the freezer suit, JJ prepare the smiles and cookies, and peter ... you just sit there with your beer. the gang is going to be back together again

Oh btw who was bringing the ritual sacrifice this year ... was it meant to be a goat or have we upgraded to human sacrifice this year ???

Al - make sure you keep an eye on the overpass / bridge heights for Dave ... don't want to trim off the top of that load (or break any bridges )

I am glad you decided to cut back this year Dave

Always knew you were a minimalist David. OMG is there room for Alan?
I was going to remind you of the ONAG but I can see that won't fit in.
Drive safe you two and I'll see you there.
Allan

what dave fails to tell everyone is that although he has cut down on the mounts and scopes he is bringing the size of the ones he has are about 400% larger then previous years

I just realised there is a trailer under that pile of stuff.

No wonder Al just bought a motorbike.


And it's cold outside... colder than it's been in a while .. that' a good sign ..

Just heard a rumour that the border police are on the lookout for a 4000 kilo shipment of Ganja coming into Qld in the next few days by road.
