All very quiet, Rocket. we went shopping today for our fortnightly shop and I fixed my son's Gerni. I can use it tomorrow to wash the van and cars down. Love to be able to get away for a trip but no dice at present. We do hope to get down to around Glen Innes in about six weeks or so.

Rocket hi, boo. Our mobile internet has not been to reliable, I get a read and thats about all.
Left Brisbane early June and headed sort of north then west, then east headed north again to Atherton Tablelands via some interesting places, Karumba, Undarra Volcanic Tubes, Chillagoe Caves and today we pull into Mission Beach on the coast and without a booking scored a caravan site 75 mtres from sea looking at Dunk Island. Now how long we stay here in this really el cheapo prime spot will depend on midgees or mozies. Sky is a clear picture, water blue as.
Davo hi New England should be good coming into spring, when it comes together enjoy.

Sounds good Radar. I will. Enjoy Mission Beach. If you have trouble with mozzies or midges, go to Big W and invest in a bottle of Vaseline Intensive Care with Aloe Vera. We were put onto it a few months ago and the mozzies and midges do not like it. I have tested it and it does work.

BTW, the Vaseline Intensive Care is the the green bottle. The other one seems to not have the aloe Vera.

Hi, I jumped out of bed this morning to witness a sunrise here at Wongaling Qld a beautiful 17degs.
My lady has not found any unattractive insects to ruin my day, so all good in that department, been into the office paid for 3 more nights, great value @ $30 a night including power and water.
Had a great day out touring about in the Nissan. The road wandered along near the Tully River up into the gorge.
Saw extreme water sports people playing in the kayaks, marked a beautiful camp spot down for later reference and then follow the river down to the sea at Tully Heads.

Yesterday I had about half a molar just break off, then had the joy of arranging a trip to the dentist to have it extracted. As a person who has had a fear of dentists since I had a nasty one as a child, this leads to sweaty palms, trembling & sometimes panic attacks.
Something told me to leave early for the dentist, which is only 15 mins away. Just as well I did, as traffic was banked up due to a nasty accident where a Prado had rolled over 2 or 3 times.
The dentist I go to knows my fears & is the ultimate professional. After waiting for the injection to work, a few pushes & pulls, followed by a bit of cracking & the bloody thing came out in one piece. This guy is so good he ALMOST makes it a joy to visit the dentist.
Today I am home recovering & doing the salt water thing. I hate how difficult it is to eat on one side only!

Ho fwdog, rest up. Age catchs up with our teeth too unfortunately. I went to dentist today too. My aching teeth are due to my sinus-s . Go figure that. Not complaining though as i thought this visit would be no good news. $174 for exam n Xray. That hurt.

I have known many dentists over the years rocket who charge to (as my dad used to say) "fund their around the world trip".
This one was $225 for an xray & the extraction. 1 1/2 hours all up. I was expecting in the $300's. Was about the same as what a plumber charged me for 25 mins work after 6pm.
I think we are all in the wrong business!

Took a whole heap of 3rd and Youngest daughters clothing to the recycle bin, as she is probably fleeing the nest. Went shopping whilst the missus is at work at the RMHospital. I'm Prepping for night shift now, pre shift nap.... dammit. Not much longer hopefully.
You've got to get your mail and parcels somehow :)

Hi Rocket,
We have been back a week from Bingara, a week of Veterans Golf...great spot.
Heading to Gloucester Thursday for 3 days to meet up with old sailing friends (yes we are all a lot older). Some, like us are now yachtless but are experiencing the dry land cruising. Haven't seen some of them since 2003. Looking forward to.
Plenty cheers!!

I greased both grease nipples on the van. I had put my cousin Kerry's (KJB) 8mm films to USB flash drive and he was coming to pick them up so I asked him if he could bring a grease gun. Sure enough the nipples got greased.

You are a devious Gentleman, Paul, just like me, ha ha ha
Without being told/asked, I changed the engine oil and filter, on the wife's car, (to get in the good books)
I then casually mentioned, that as I had recently change out a front wheel bearing, on the Motorhome, we should plan a little trip, to check it out, before we head east on boxing day
Fingers crossed, we have a short trip coming up, ha ha ha
