Getting organised for the big lap.
Permalink  

Hi Bedford Weir Gang,  I have had a busy day shopping With my son.  We bought a EU20i Honda generator, a Uniden CB and a new power inlet plug that I had buggared.  He is going to fit them all for me hopefully on Friday.  I am in the process of making fly screens for the cabin doors so I can have the windows down if I want extra airflow.  Will go to my appointment on Monday and I plan to overnight at Bouldercombe Monday night and hit the road on Tuesday.  Will keep in touch so I can catch up with you in the not too distant future.  Thanks again for a great couple of days at the Weir.   Cheers Colleen n Denis

ps..Damn miserable overcast day followed by an evening shower here in Yeppoon.

Hi Colleen - was great to meet you at Bedford Weir - and to know that you are coming with us - the more the merrier I reckon!!!

We are in Emerald - Billeeeeeee and I and Marj are in the free camp under the bridge - Marj gets her solar panel fitted tomorrow - then we will meet up with Mel (and Molly) and Steve and head to Sapphire to try our luck with sapphires - not travelling too fast - we will keep in touch.

Another beautiful day here - about 30 degrees - and more of the same tomorrow!!!

Hi Colleen.  Glad you're getting organised so soon.  Don't think I'll manage a visit before you go, so I'll just say "Take care, and enjoy yourself."

Didn't even get as far as Yeppoon today.  Might have to go into that Hospital tomorrow if I still feel like this in the morning.

Give Dennis a pat for me.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Had a lovely time at Bedford Weir last weekend, even though I was not feeling too well much of the time.  Thank you all.  According to the Hospital, I just have either a Common Cold, or the Flu.  So I'll be fine thanks.

Just wish I could come along too.

[Don't know how the double up happened, and I've tried, but I can't get rid of it.]

Cheers,

Sheba.

Hi Billeeeeeee.    Been trying to think who Julie reminds me of, and finally got it tonight.  "Toots" Holzeimer.  If you haven't heard of her, just Google the name.  She was a female Truckie, who used to do the Cape York run.

Looks like you're still having fun.

Cheers,

Sheba.
