I had a great weekend, Saturday was spent cleaning house :!:

Sunday was to the wedding expo till 11am then an afternoon of sitting in front of the TV watching Puki :!:

Other than that, I am contemplating going out in the tropical evening air, and pulling the donor fans off the radiator I got given for the electric fan project on the truck

turoa · Post by **turoa** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 8:40 pm

Woke up to a text from james at 8:30 in the morning saying he was here. Bastard

Then mucked around for a bit changing tyres etc then went to go and show a couple of guys around aotea. After that, we dragged the old burnt out car up to the place where people break in, and left it there so they cant :wink:

Then I went home to see what james had done. And he had managed to (with my brothers help) dent our daewoos bonnet :evil:

(he pushed hit disco in with it :shock:

). Then we sorted out his exhaust (sounds awesome) and remounted all the rear mounts, and got the shock mounts tacked on.

During all that, we were driving the daewoo around our property on grass tracks. That was mean fun (we also took a muffler off, with a bank :roll:

).

I will upload the vid a bit later.

blatted round the ashley with my brother on the atv and the dog running loose A truck/ATV/Dog all have different advantages.

Truck has got the weight in water but sinks in the loose shingle

ATV is good on loose stuf and tricky bits but looses it in deep water

Dog can go any where but takes a while to build up courage for the big water crossings and gets left behind on the fast tracks

Came home chasing the ATV at 80kph

Cleaned out the truck (was a pigsty from dusty roads, getting full of water last sunday, sand and shingle from recovery efforts, mud from the fun bits and one or two marbles from a mid week sheep transporting trip) Yep I carted a sheep in it this week, Tied its feet and threw it in on a wool fadge, then was called into the house where I was picking up from, came out and he had broken loose and was standing between the front and back seats

, with dog's help we kept him in the back on the loose while we went home, even dropped the back window a bity for it to look out.

Truck is actually now washed vacumed and wiped out, then I filled it up with tools, a toilet, shower etc ready to cart down to work on the rental house this week (The original reason I bought the truck) :roll:
