.

now jerry i find the first piece a little unfair cause you know all you have to do say look a mud hole and I'm in, twicely i see no reason why trip leaders and organizers should be exempt from dumbass acts is that cause you'll be first?, and turdly there is no mention of placement of mikes truck for rallywoods special wax application as for wake up method i have something better in mind......................

[Ryan]

we will only be there saturday, and since it hasnt been out in a fair while i may be first broken down lol

[Jerry]

Cough

Follow all the rules of the organiser and trip leaders

If you ask nicely and bribe me I might make you an Trip Leader

[Cloggy_NZ]

09.30AM Day visitors meet at Cnr Moonshine & haywards (can we get a volunteer to organise this?)

I can do the run back to the main road if required.
Is there anyone coming who does not know the way?

[dazza85]

I'm in for the 3 days

[Jerry]

Just a mention about the gates, am planing to leave the gate unlocked on Sat, and locking on Sunday whilst we are in the Aka's and then leaving unlocked when we get back......if its locked then I can run down and let you in.... if you are planning to turn up at a funny time let me know.....

Also Curly can actually play the Banjo it seems so has anyone got one handy so we can see this I'm guessing you need 6 fingers and 13 toes to play them

[86-surf]

HHmmmm

Got some bad news for me..

not sure if ill be coming, So none of you guys can make fun of my white hair any more.....




Thats if i don't get a ride that is...

[Jerry]

Was think we could make the loo a bit bigger and save our knees etc on Sat evening whilst we are there, maybe extend the frame a bit and rehang the door, has anyone got a bot of suitable wood and old plywood or whatever and is someone able to throw in some suitable tools?

can't be too difficult?

Maybe a quick chimny fix as well if anyone has any idea's or bits lying round whilst we are there (might make it a bit less smokey in the gazebo

[86-surf]

got some timber planks . you can see them on the post about my truck (surf is flexing on them) . ive got some ply wood laying arround to.. and i have nails hamers level saw. or what ever you need to make what you wanna make

Jerry Jerry Jerry...................WHY ARE YOU ON YA KNEES IN THE LOO..........and difficult depends on what are doing in the loo on ya knees.
Chimney is rearrange the bricks a bit clean the ashes out etc I reckon.

[Jerry]

Tony...you and reece are on the "Sunday Morning wake up subcommittee" ....is everything ok or do we need another subcommittee meeting (and no I don''t want it outside my tent first )

[skid]

Chimney is rearrange the bricks a bit clean the ashes out etc I reckon.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, that sounds like a tui ad

chimney needs replacing, I've seen less holes in my cheese grater.

to be brutally honest the whole hut needs a bulldozer and then some nice people with more money than a bull could shit, to offer to replace it with a nice big shed we could remodel or a lockwood place etc etc etc

[taz01]

to be brutally honest the whole hut needs a bulldozer and then some nice people with more money than a bull could shit, to offer to replace it with a nice big shed we could remodel or a lockwood place etc etc etc

hey look a volunteer to help fix the place up..............

[86-surf]

My dad is helping lockwood atm, with there new building here in rotorua. hes desighining the place bla bla bla....... my dads mate owns lockwood so yea,

If we all wen up there one weekend we could bulled a nice place. ive got a croncret mixer and my dad can ge us the wood at the right price:D, and i would love to help. im normaly the croncret maker......

[skid]

Tony...you and reece are on the "Sunday Morning wake up subcommittee" ....is everything ok or do we need another subcommittee meeting (and no I don''t want it outside my tent first )

just start up the generator, that will wake most people up

last time I spent a weekend fixing the place up, restocking the firewood and doing lots of renovations, we felt like we'd achieved something until a few weeks later when our club seemed to get the blame for something that went wrong in Rallywoods, so the hut was forgotten by us from then and you can tell now. Shame really.

[Jerry]

A demolish and build a new building would more than likely require consents which may affect other things, A rebuild a bit at a time wouldn't....

[SV1K]

Tony...you and reece are on the "Sunday Morning wake up subcommittee" ....is everything ok or do we need another subcommittee meeting (and no I don''t want it outside my tent first )

Hey! Why drag me into this?? I didn't say a thing!!

Yep I have a few things here that may be what is needed for the loo problem...

Was think we could make the loo a bit bigger and save our knees

can't be too difficult?

Jerry Jerry Jerry...................WHY ARE YOU
ON YA KNEES IN THE LOO..........and difficult depends on what are doing
in the loo on ya knees.
Chimney is rearrange the bricks a bit clean the ashes out etc I reckon.

Tony, I don't think any of us want to know what Jerry is doing on his knees in the loo... so don't ask!!

See you all soon

[badnuz]

as an attnding newbie, and after reading Jerrys run down on the trip times etc am i correct to assume that once at the hut and we air down do we also "unload" all our overnite "supplies" to save possibly breaking my beer bottles etc... i mean camping stuff....
i saw my cruiser on the hoist at mechanics , hope they pulling finger to get it back to me by friday morning so i can still get the rest of my prep work done on it....

[Jerry]

Was thinking about that actually, might take a wee bit of time to unload, , may as well pitch tents etc as well......

[badnuz]

my son is binging his R/C rock crawler for entertainment as well.. thing goes good!!! really looking forward to coming, bloody mechanics better pull finger, will go hurry them up tomorrow i feel...

[Ryan]

with all the unpacking and maintinance on loos and chimneys what time will we be hitting the tracks??

[badnuz]

unpacking involves opening back doors and accerlating forward fast.....

[Cloggy_NZ]

....and accerlating forward fast.....

....Impossible in Jerry's Cruiser

[Jerry]

Finally...someone (other than me) calls it a Cruiser

If you accelerate fast won't you break all your beer oops vital camping equipment when it falls out

Tony will be moaning about wanting coffee when we get in, thought maybe unoad setup etc and then head off (10.45ish?) see who's trucks we can kill around the donut bog area which allows time to come back for lunch and then head up the top tracks and then afterwards stop at the hut again for afternoon tea and then try out the new bottom tracks....

The loo and the chimney we can do when we start drinking......

Thoughts?

[Sadam_Husain]

Finally...someone (other than me) calls it a Cruiser

I think that was a typo error Jerry

If your Cruiser Jnr makes it through the Firewood Loop this time it'll graduate to a full Cruiser status....
