Rather than just looking in or logging in for a look how about we use this thread to actually post about what's going on for everyone.
We've been in lockdown for 4 Months here but being a hermit it hasn't made any difference me. How has everyone else been coping? --------------------  SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

All good here. Beryl and I were teachers for our 5 yr old grandson for a couple of weeks. She was the teacher mostly, and I was the Principal. I laid down the law when he became a bit too strong willed. No cookies or Robot Wars in recess, if he misbehaved.
Love the Perentii, Sumo. I cleaned my boat up and listed it last week. Lots of tyre kickers but no fair dinkum lookers. One bloke offered me half of what I was looking for, sight unseen. Might as well do what Fed is doing and just keep it sitting on the concrete. |

I reckon this virus has a long way to go Oz in fact I can't see an end to it on a world wide scale.
If they ever find a vaccine that works maybe a mass vaccination like the world has never seen before. Good to see you KK, a couple of weeks ago my first born wanted to visit and I told him I wouldn't let him in. LOL My boat is still glued to the concrete and I should sell it but it needs some work which I couldn't be bothered doing. New battery, drain & new fuel, new disc hubs and a damned good shiny up. Sumo the old rev head, who would have thought?

Last time I came around, I saw you close the blinds as I walked up the drive. Knocked, rang the bell, walked around the house to see if the back was open. Saw the crack in the blinds open up and curtains moved. No answer. As I drove away, I saw the curtains open up again. No wonder you are a hermit. I had donuts as well!!! |

The past few months has seen me with a new hobby far away from Fishing. Woodturning. I bought a cheap lathe that got me started, mate found an old beat up rusty and completely seized up wood lathe and gave it to me, had parts missing etc. I set about restoring it, stripped it down put new bearings in it and gave it a paint job, made some new parts for it ( took forever ) and now ready to sell along with my cheapie I originally got. I am going to purchase a new more powerful and upgraded lathe ( maybe today ) from hare and forbes, still a reasonably cheap one but all I can afford. Hope it will last me out which I'm sure it will.

Jeez they don't miss ya with those green slips, 425 bucks to drive 1000 Km a Year.
I was talking to my mechanic and he said if you get booked & get some points then the green slips go up in price, anyone heard of that? -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

QUOTE (kkw @ Jun 22 2020, 06:32 PM) Boat gone today. Wonder if I need another one? Klaus. Congratulations on selling the boat, had it for a while and from what I have read you didn't use it much. I am also thinking of selling a few boats myself, have 17 foot half cab glass boat that hasn't seen water for 7 years, and a 12 foot punt that has been a while. My 14 foot Brooker tinnie is a project that I have been fixing up for a few years but just seems to sit in the one spot month after month without being touched. Not able to work on it much these days due to health reasons, still needs old paint stripped from the lower hull and then painting, but will probably never get done. A lot of potential money just sitting around doing nothing. My plan would be to sell all boats and upgrade my vehicle. -------------------- Frank
