Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Bernie, I have used Brett's Trucks of Berkeley for my Hino rb145. They have been good for me.
Cheers

What a wonderful specimen George, I haven't seen one with it's wings partly unfoiled. We get a big ones over here, we use a piece of dry branch to encourage them to climb onto that so we can take them to a tree so they blend in better ..... I'd hate to see one of the swallows catch it and eat it when they are so exposed ......

Brian gave me all the Hino manuals with part numbers etc when he sold us the Hino, but they were all on the computers and back ups so all gone up in smoke. There is a possibility that Brian still has a copy and the bloke he bought all the parts from when needed.

How is the door replacement going?
Dave, the door is replaced but a little shorter than the original. i am waiting for the weather to make up its' mind, raining or too hot, before applying sealant and then think about painting. I may get around to it before Taggerty as we are heading to the UK 11/3 and returning 22/4.

Bernie,
you're better off using a can of brake cleaner/degreaser.

Morning all.
We had thunder all night, but no real rain.

Good morning All. Sunny and 27* with 28* forecast, I think they're dreaming.

I got out of bed at 6:30 expecting to do some mowing at 7:30. It is almost 9am and the grass is still sodden due to dew.

Julie flew out to Canberra yesterday afternoon so I went out and bought 5 frozen meals which will see me out until Saturday.
