Carbetec are a funny mob eh!

[Wild Dingo]

Dingo, do you know Timbecon has a new owner? Maybe they will look after you this time.

No I didnt know that mate when did that happen? Hopefully it will mean a change in other areas of that business as well eh

Okay just of the phone with the bloke I was served by 3 weekends ago.... whew... apparently they have asked the Preston Post Office over east to readdress it and send it over to me... last Friday... as its still not here a week later he will send me anothery ... by Aussie Post which they use "cause its the cheepest courier" On condition I send the other one back to them whenever it arrives...

buggar thought Id end up with two the company doin the right thing an lettin me keep the othery cause Im a good customer and all that ...ah well not in this day an age I guess

Anyway we will wait upon the mercies of good ol Aussie Post again... me I think the other ones heading to China to visit our ol mate Wongo's mob and this one will find its way over east shortly to visit Cliffy or one of the Victorian mobs

And on that note I sing me song it wont take long and goes like this
"everybody hates me nobody likes me I think I'll go an eat worms"

[Wild Dingo]

Aint it the way? I mean there I was wonderin how much longer it was gonna take to get this thing and so as you see above I gave em another hoi and now theres anothery on its way to me...

ahem

Posty arrived a minute ago...

YEP there it was!!

Now I get it I have another joy joy happy happy time coming up... HOW DO YOU WORK THE THING!!! Actually when I bought it we were looking in the cattledog at the store cause they didnt have one on hand and its shown like this...



So guess what buggalugs THOUGHT it would come looking like? yep just like that... but of course cause no one likes me it didnt come like that did it... noooo it came just a wee box with the dial thingy in it and a couple of weird looking screws which seem to slide on the sides... and NOW no not then but NOW I SEE that you have to buy the flamin magnetic base thingy separate!! but boy I thought some of them chingalese machines I bought were light on for distructions!! this thing takes the cake!!

Ah well its here and if I can ever figure it out maybe I can sort the damned machines out... its all good eh!!

Okay gotta go give James another call... first to tell him it finally got here so not to bother sending down the other one and second to order the damned base!!

And so a new song Ive got to sing it wont take long and it goes like this...

Im a dunce Im a dunce yeah yeah yeah Im a dunce!!

[Pat]

Ding, at least it finally turned up. How much was it? & How much is the base? I've still got to fix the saw, only 1/2 mm out.


PS, you got the power on in the cave yet?

[Wild Dingo]

Power?? in the shed?? nah mate decided were not going to bother now as were selling the place... so they get the shed the house an the two acres they can power it up if they want (an the creek which is bursting its banks just now so were on "waterinhouse watch" for the next 24 hours )

Yeah Im pretty stoked that its here finally James was about to send the second one when I rang back so helped them out to... theyre a good mob to work with I reckon

The dial came on its own for $59 seems I now have to buy the magnetic base as an "optional" extra for another $50 Ive got another thread up in jigs to see if anyones got a work around instead of me making another journey to Perth to get one... cause I sure as heck am NOT waiting on AP to get it to me!

Looks the goods ...now I just gotta figure out how it works!

Cheers!

[Pat]

Ding, I can't keep up. Selling up again. Where to this time?

[Wild Dingo]

See now me young cobber... you'll figure this one out as yer go past the majikal 40 things change... just when you start to want to settle down and put down roots somewheres your beloved other half will start to thinkin about wanderin... so you of course will go along with her wants cause you love her to bits... and thats that...

There are however some lucky gits in this world who have a pleasurable time get married have nippers stay put for 40 or more years... then theres those other buggars who get the wonderlust every few years and theres nothing for it but another move in the wind

Actually we had hoped to stay put when we bought here nice block nice babbling creek not so nice house but had the $$ to fix it and the place up everything was honkey dorey it was... then a month after we got flooded out lost near on everything to the nice babbling creek so all the $$ put aside to fix the place up went into getting us all back on an even keel... then over the last two years its been a constant uphill battle with ill health house issues and now land and water issues meaning were unable to build the house we want on the property... so weve decided to move on

Yep agent comes tomorrow and its on the market as of then... they reckon they have someone who wants a 2 acre property to run a few horses on with a weekender but not necessary with a shed but not particularily main thing is the land with year round water and semi rural so they can run a few horses... this place is PERFECT for just that... and has the semi rural status with the shire to allow it... and it appears theres not to many within 20klicks of a major town available so were in a good possie for a quick sale which is ideal for us.

Were intending on moving toward the coast to Australind which is less than 20 minutes away but a lot more bedderer... have already looked at 2 places today and am contemplating putting an offer in on one tomorrow when the agent comes... "subject to..." of course


Weve just had enough of battling this place... its not worked out so before everything totally goes to shyte we will upstakes and move on to greener fields

Cheers

[Ramps]

Ahh has this place in Australind got a shed? A BIG shed ... with power

[Shedhand]

I went to school with a kid called Preston, does that help?

...grew up and they called him Elvis Preston..or was that...?

[Wild Dingo]

Ahh has this place in Australind got a shed? A BIG shed ... with power

Mate I refuse to even GLANCE at one if it DOESNT have a flamin great huge shed!!... and Ive already put in the order for anothery even if it does have one!! AND!!! AND!! best of all shes kindly agreed to allowing me yes ME!! to get a brand spankin new ubeaut car!! WHAHOOOO!!!

Well okay maybe not BRAND BRAND new but still no more than 5 years old which is still pretty flamin new in my book!!

She got her brand new Lancer the other month and that fine if you like sittin in a moke... an have no power to drag an ant let alone a ton of timber around... no me Im aimin for about a 2004 - 5 Landrover or a Range Rover somethin with a bit of style somethin with a bit of pizzaz an somethin with enough grunt to pull the trailer loaded with wood or a nice big boat of some discription which I still have to convince her I HAVE to make... preferably sometime before I croak would be good ... I had thought of a Landcruiser but well they lack that style that pazzaz that ooohlala they have the grunt to probs but style? nope... so thats what Im thinkin I need a nice ubeaut Landrover or Range Rover you know

Well its either that or a flamin Ford or... slap yourself stupid for saying it... a holden nah gotta be a Landy I reckon

But yeah its GOT to have a shed and she KNOWS it... actually I gave her a darstardly dictum the other day... I was as crook as a dog you know with this ruddy flu and shes showing me these houses on the net fine houses all of them but NOT ONE had a shed worth callin a shed and able to hold the machines out the back so bein as I was crook and her sympathy only lasts 2 days and I was now into my 5th day I got antsy... "Look ere luv I tell yer what IF the place we get next DOESNT have a bloody great shed luv Im shootin through to Kal where EVERY BUGGARS GOT A REAL SHED an yer can stick it up yer proveribal b... ahem cute southern regions cause I aint movin anywhere that doesnt have a flamin shed!"

funny she didnt say anything till later in the arvo when I was out there in the cave sookin cause of the flu her selfish thoughts of housing an the phissin rain stoppin me gettin power on so I could do somethin and she waltzed out and stood in the doorway and surveyed the dark palace... "yer right darls sorry you NEED a shed... so Kals out right? Cause I think we'd have a riot on our hands if we moved out there you know? So yes you can have your shed and I'll stop looking at places that dont have them okay?" WELL!! You know what I did dont you? I fair flew over the bench between us knockin the mig welder onto the deck as I leapt in the air landed on a screw grabbed her up in me arms still doin a one footed jig and gave her a big good ol fashioned dingo pash!! right there in the shed I did!! the bandsaw was agast the table saw hid under the cover the thicknesser snickered at which sound I threw a hammer at it clockin it right on the table and the jointer shuddered while all the rest of them sat and hung their head... Im sure I heard one of them mutter "get a friggin room yer burke" but I cant be sure

Anyways its all good!

Jeepers Dingo, it sounds like you've got my kind of luck and I wouldn't wish my luck on my worst enemy.

At least it arrived, had it been me it probably never would have shown. Or it would be broken. I'd have noted that right after I used it to set something important up and broke that too. lol. Whats scary is I need to get one myself, I'm rebuilding my trans here in the next week or so. Watch me buy one, set up my trans, reinstall trans, blow up trans, and find its all due to a miscalibrated dial indicator. Then watch me rinse and repeat. I do that sort of things all the time. In fact I'm on my third head, first one the machine shop ruined then chucked me out the door, second one, the replacment, had a bad cam gear and it let loose a half mile down the road and interference engine said hello to new head, third one is on the car, bolted up, I've been avoiding finishing it though, I don't know why.

I've found it helps greatly not to take life seriously. Its all good.

The "where's the other half?" is a classic Matt saying as well.

[Big Shed]

Ding, I've finally stopped laughing long enough to give you a bit of sage advice.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUY A POMMIE CAR

Take this advice from someone who has owned 2 , yes TWO, Rovers (should have learned my lesson first time around!) and a friend with a Daimler Sovereign. The Daimler was bought new, bits broke and fell off throughout its' life, same with the Rovers'.

Worst part of both brands is that the electrics always break down etc.
I can go on, but I haven't got the gift of the gab like you have.

Buy the Landcruiser

Buying a Pommie car is the equivalent of buying an orange thicknesser from, no I won't use the T word again, don't want to upset you
