The weekend just past saw the 42nd running of the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days. Our drought and the cold and windy weather conspired to keep crowds down and money in pockets but there was still plenty to see...and not just in the automotive space either.
The ground works are done! We have a slab upon which to place the steel frame of the shed. We also have water tanks into which water from the roof will go to augment our household water supply.
This is the RRC 2 door I gifted to my cousin in law a couple of years ago. He paid to have it transported 1000km across country to his place. After over a decade of sitting in my paddock doing nothing and incapable of moving under its own steam....
Pour one out for my friend here. He tried to spend the winter in the grass near our house tank. Unfortunately, he was just too old and too thin to survive the winter. He passed away against a log in the sun. And I buried him yesterday...
We have the first lot of formwork, Oppo. This is for the main part of the shed itself. Plus all the footing holes for each end of the portal frames has been drilled.

May a very nicely lit oversized Goanna light your way...

And I leave you with this question: is it a bamboo forest or a bamboo grassland?
My brother is in India at the moment and he sent me this picture...
...and, regardless of your politics, the world is a poorer place.
...was hit hard. That chassis (just behind the steering rod) didn’t bend itself! Front offside (RHD remember) of a LR D4.
I broke it, Oppo.
May they be gone by morning...
May your latest completed project not be followed shortly after by a sinking feeling...
On the eve of our next Federal Government election...in Australia, we treat our politicians with the respect that they deserve...
This is the Oz exclusive M-B X Class X350d Edition 1. Based on the Power trim V6 TDi variant. But blacker.
It is May the 5th. One of our free to air channels is playing The Fifth Element on repeat. I have just started my third run.
