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!!!

I think it's called cactoblasis moth or something like that.

T1, Get some old shade cloth and or some old carpet. Then wrap it around the prickly bits before you attempt to remove it. Or..... don't complain about the prickles. :lol:

The italians love it. And yes the moth is the go.
Queen of the Banal & OT chatter and proud of it. If it offends you then tough titty titty bang bang.

Good morning.
Sorta busy day was had...mainly in the poo :lol: ,turns out the problem with the loo cassette in the bus was the relief valve thingy, it had given up. So new one ordered ;) .
The other Bruce asked about was the antenna cable, yes its live when the power is on, now safely tapped up.
Other than pottering around with stuff that was our day.

I did check the batteries and yes they both give me 100% soc.

Not a job at the moment while on the road, I have to re-design the bed so it can be lifted without pulling apart. The mattress is like a large heavy marshmallow :D :D, and the base is way over engineered. Also heavy.
Haven't been told yet what's happening today :lol:
Keep safe.
Bernie.

Good morning everyone. It's another magnificent day on the GC today. Looks like quite a few of us forumites are packing up for a bit of a tour. We will head off either this arvo or early tomorrow for our trip south. Yes, we have lots of warm clothes packed. All the grass is mowed and bushes are trimmed now. Just a few last minute things to organise now. Safe travels everybody, have a top day.
Cheers

Yes Jon, 6 brand new ones. Michelin Argilis HDZ on the front and Triangle on the rear. The Michelins were the only ones that would take the weight with any margin and Haulmax couldn't supply the rears until next week, and I didn't want to wait. Fitted, balanced, lazer alignment all up cost about $3k, but its almost a pleasure to drive now.
Oh, and 4 new shockers too. The Powerdowns on the front had the valve bodies shot to bits.
We'll just have to see if it's all worth the money.
Cheers

Triangles on the rear? bloody hell. At least they could have fitted circles.
