Spent the day on a fishing charter boat out from Moeraki, caught all our limits of blue cod and terraki then spent the rest of the afternoon at the hampden pub! Fantastic way to spend a Saturday!

That looks like more of a sandhill than woodhill

Looking like the rain has really shrunk your toy too nibby

Went for a climb up The Remarkables....

Leaving the ski field


Lake Alta






Putting crampons on


Snow was in poor condition for walking on....


I was 4th in the group and as I was heading across the worst piece towards the shute in above pic some ice fell off the rocks above, creating a small snow slide and the snow moved about 2 metres in front, enough to get me windy and the rope was on the other side so Dad and I waited while the other 3 summited. They then roped across where the snow slide had been.

View from almost the top


Heading up the shute

Walking down


Unfinished business!

Well decided to get some work done on BlackDeath to get it ready to hit the tracks again, so the list went something like this...

Saturday
Rear side windows in - check
drink beer - check
Drivers door removed - check
drink more beer - check
Remove broken ignition and fit replacement one - check
talk shyt about truck - check
Remove broken windscreen - check
drink even more beer - check
talk about owsum cars and what we would own if we had the money - check
BBQ and heaps of other food - check
Finish putting replacement drivers door on - check
beer for the road - check

Sunday
Fix drivers door so locking part would stay up and not auto lock - check
Fit new windscreen - check
time for a beer - check
Batteries on charge - check and still on charge as well I might add
Start the clean up process on the inside - check by the way, this was a mission on it's own - a 4 hour mission
Rewire reducer for cooling fans after being ripped out - check
BBQ time - need more meat and stuff ... supermarket run - check
More beer required as well - check

Rear body mounts farked they have punched through and the body is lower than the rear bar and sitting on the diesel tank that needs replacing as well.
Replacement diesel tank sorted and ready for fitting but have to fix rear mounts first as a couple of the nuts that hold the diesel tank in have broken the weld and are just free spinning - bugger

All in all it was a good mission on the ol' girl, she it looking like it used too... well I should really say it is getting fixed as it will never look like it used to

Non-4x4 realated, brought some degreaser and cleaned the frame on my bike, getting ready for replacement motor that will be here on Wednesday or Thursday next week - can't wait
Two new spark plugs, oil and coolant as well - new chain and sprockets should be here on Monday or Tuesday.

I really miss my bike lesson learnt though replace chain and sprockets sooner rather than later.
