dont forget the mossie deflectors, good on you marty, photos please, I think we are all flippant, wasnt it the monty python lot who sang "always look on the bright side of life"
just one more bit of maybe useless advice, we grabbed a set of those little plastic whistles that you stick on the bumper bar of the vehicle, now scoff or not but since we fitted a pair of these, they just stick on, the roos sit up and actively run away from the vehicle, well not run but jump or should that be bound away or spring, oh to hell with it they get out of the bloody way, I think they are about $3.00 each, but I honestly believe they do work and a hell of a lot cheaper than the shoo roo

ahhh!!! we cant give up all our little secrets now can we!!!, lots of secret things I could tell you about in all sorts of places all around australia, but where is the fun in going, because you would then say "oh thats what so and so told me to watch out for" takes all the fun out of "discovering it yourself"
I dont get "happy hour" until I'm home probably about 10 o'clock tonight, gotta fill the bin's for tommorow's carting, by the time I grab a shower, get some grub, have a coffee, I'm gone for a couple of hours night night's, then she's on again at 5 a.m. tommorrow, grease up, fuel up, kick the tyres and fire up
maybe a little rain on the horizon, if it does we will be set back again and have to work longer hour's. cant wait to retire!!!!
never mind maybe another two weeks she'll be finished, I hope

Those cheap plastic whistles do work have note the roo's do as you also noted . The attached is a close up of the gulf mossie so deflector are a must .
how the hell did you get him to sit still that long, and I will add that is of course LIFE SIZE,
oh and marty it's friday, who's a happy camper now hey!!!! I reckon he'd be like the first chook out of the henhouse this morning, strutting and scratching and flapping his wings, and chasing all the new worms
in all honesty mate, good on you, hook her up, throw the dog in the back and get out before mum see's you gone, or I guess if you must, you could take her!!! she does hold the purse I suppose
