    Troppo heres my rigP1010001.jpgP1010002.jpg



    Mate you will love it the video quality is amazing.I use mine in the surf, and up at the skate park mainly. The long pole has a place on the handle for the remote which makes it easy to control. The smaller pole is a floating one that I use in the surf with the floaty back door on incase it gets dropped in the waves. I think the best thing I have bought is the lcd backpack. Have fun and please no lawnmowing vids.

    Was cleaning up the beast today, getting ready to sell her to help fund this bizz venture. Anyways I was using some Autosol to polish up the alloy bull bar when a thought his me, "those wheels are polished alloy". Pickd up a dirty rag i had been using to polish with and gently wiped the wheel.

    God damn came up nice a bright, took less than thirty seconds to clean the 4 mags cleaner than I have ever seen em lol.

    On a side note would anybody like to buy a beast of a landcruiser lol

    We go swimming up the local creeks a lot with waterfalls, rapids, rope swings in the rainforest. Our dog, Indy is a 3/4 pitbull 1/4 bloodhound and loves the water. Bomb dives us off a rock at one swimming hole and many other funny things, so that sort of stuff will be my first priority. I agree that the LCD backpack would be an awesome accessory.

    Well guys I make the surf vids of my 9 year old grommet who is just getting into it so I don't think that would blow your hair back. But when we get some good waves I will see what I can do. Have you seen how Kelly puts the gopro in his mouth and films, he is actually biting on the floaty backdoor, it is just awesome.In one heat at teaupoo spelling, he got 3 nines in a row then grabbed the gopro , Its just great fun so I will have a crack.. My brother did film me riding his brand new mal, when a chick dropped in on me and dinged the board, that made me feel good... and I couldn't bullsh$t my way out of it cause he had it on film...See what its like on the weekend might get a paddle

    One of my good customers (their all pretty good) today gave a 6 pack of cold beer, just because the grass was a little higher than usual due to 44mm of rain last week.
    When I started and quoted two years ago, I quoted $60 for the routine and $100 initial tidy up. On the second visit I did my usual job and as always making sure it was perfect.

    From that day they said you do such a good job we will give you $70, not just today but every visit from now on. Back in early August I was asked to do the usual mow and prune a few roses asked for a X amount more and was given a $20 tip on top the price.

    How Good is That, just sent an e-mail to again thank her and family for spoiling me.

    Edit 1; Just whipped the top of one now !

    Edit 2; First one must of had a hole in it, just took the top of the second, what a great life we have in this business.
    Cheers Garry

    The problem was it was my first job of the morning carrying cold beer back to the Hilux.

    Customer Reply to my e-mail not long ago.
    "No that's OK, I hope you enjoyed them we are so thankful for the amazing job you do on our lawns they always look fantastic when have done them so thankyou you deserve it thanks"

    Appreciated, Yes, you bet hence the thankful post, but the corporate world (EFY) bonuses would have bought nearly every pallet of grog on the delivery truck.
    Cheers Garry
