where were you for the 4wd mountain climb?. If i can fix the minibike between now and then i will take it also.

We also joke around and fix things and build electronic things and play with generators and computers and do some photographing. Might even all go into gloucester for a hot breakie at that new cafe (probably all fit in 1 or 2 cars)

did i forget anything arthur
( i did not actually see the 4 wheel drive mountain climbing exhibition)

Also:
Throwing boomerangs
tweeking scopes
boiling the billy
snoozing next to a nice fire
trying to get the chainsaw started
find fuel for the chainsaw
listen to the running water of the creeks merging
reading space mags
solving the worlds problems
watching for and listening to aircraft on the scanner
Solar observing
playing your favourite music

And then its nearly lunchtime....

more of the same after lunch....

Gonna miss you guys!
Have a great time at Wiruna.
Wish I was with you.

Hoping to get to Bretti for next new moon with Arthur.
This will be when we are heading for home from our long trip.
I will suggest a stop over at Bretti for a couple of nights!
Remember to act surprised to see us - by coincidence

Just need to work out a way so that Bretti is on the way home from South Australia

Arthur Alchin (Arthur Alchin) · #27 31-03-2011, 09:31 PM

Mums the word Allan

Inmykombi (Geoff) · #28 03-04-2011, 08:06 PM

Looks like I wont make it to Bretti unless I can plan things a bit better.

With Easter Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day Tuesday, I will only be working one day that week ( Wednesday ) then Bretti would be the Thursday, Friday, Sat + Sun.
Sorry Guys, but I dont think I can push my work back that far.
I will try though.
If I can get some jobs done on the Public Hoidays, I may be able to come along, but it depends on the work loads.

Geoffro

Hi Phil and Mars.

Phil, if your 18 incher goes away top Bretti, I'll have to make an effort to get a squiz at the eyepiece.

Geoffro.

Deeno · #33 16-04-2011, 06:44 AM

Yehaa!
This is looking good for me at the moment.
Won't make the 8.30 meeting at the twin servos though...

Might even bring the dog....

Rodstar (Rod) · #34 16-04-2011, 05:28 PM

I had been thinking I might try to make it this month to Bretti, but there is just too much on with the family at the moment. Perhaps later in the year?? Hope you all have a fabulous time!

The forecast will be something like....
Clear heads for most of the time however there will be the occasional heavy downpour of amber fluid and naturally followed by the usual 'drizzle'.
There should be some cloud over whether we should go fishing or swimming and intermittent showers after a sweaty bushwalk.
All in all, hopefully there won't be too much 'wind'.

sfrost (Steve) · #38 20-04-2011, 05:30 PM

I would like to do the Bretti camping thing next time perhaps. I would like to buy a Freezer suit too... I think Geoff is organising it ?

On that weekend I am taking a lovely young lady on a motorbike ride .... someone has to do it
