    Spent several holidays at Ballina in me Jayco and 4.80mtr Allycraft each on seperate occassions as I've only one tow bar.
    Always went down to Yamba and Maclean for a stop over, lovely place and a nice club at Yamba. Can picture in my mind how a great a time Courty and your family would have had. Loved the Calypso Holiday Park and the fish n chip shop on the cnr in the main st. Looks like the girls will treasure the fun had with the family unit and reflect on later in life too.
    Nambucca Heads comes to mind too at the White Albatross Holiday Centre, can't beat a Coastal Holiday on the NSW Nth Coast in summer thats for sure.

    Edit, stayed for many years at Treasure Island Resort at Biggera Waters too and loveeeeed that place. Wish I was up your way nowww!!!!
    Cheers Garry

    I've got work tomorrow for a full extended day doing 4 commercials jobs in temp in the low 30's and now I'm buggered in the mind thinking about about your part of town and the majestic Yamba/Calpso Park region and those lovely wide rivers.
    Great to here you all had a Great Time, guess the beers were nice and cold in the pubs/clubs and in the esky too.
    Cheers Garry

    Gardening this morning included tearing out a large strawberry patch which still had quite a few leftover strawberries in it.
    After eating plastic store bought strawberries all over Christmas I'd forgotten how good real strawberries are.
    No need for lunch today

    While I'm posting tonight, Got through to today with a max of 38 and was in magic shape, must say I didn't notice as many lawnies out as usual in the arvo.
    I've a bigger day tomorrow (Friday) of a cross section of very good clients that won't send me away and good income with a forecast of 40. (green grass jobs)
    Bring it on me says, I've six litres of super cold drink mix ready for me esky to guzzle plus what the clients usually serve.
    Working Saturday morning with 42 forecast. It mind over matter and I'll toughen up like I did today, drink heaps of fluid and wear me wide brim hat and conquer the heat.
    Been up at the pool tonight making it all clean and nice chemically for my expected jump in after work tomorrow whilst in my full work gear.
    Cheers Garry

    Garry just remember if going it a pool remove Phone,mp3 player and garage remote befpre entering as i've found these don't work very well afterwards if you don't
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Bought a Makita 33cc bull handle brushie about 3 years ago and used it for about 1 hr. Then I tried to convert it to D handle (which took about 3 years)The other day I wrecked an old Pope I had lying around and the throttle assembly fitted straight on with a few mods, hooked up the accel cable and conected the kill switch wires. Filled her up with Petrol and on the second pull she ran. Now I have an as new D handle 4 stroke brushie to add to my weapons of grass destruction arsenal.

    The only thing better than having your own pool is having a friend who has a pool.

    We have just announced to all my friends and family that my wife is expecting our 2nd child in late August. My wife suffered through 9 months of morning, afternoon and evening sickness last time around and is already very sick now. The bonus is that means its a nice healthy pregnancy.
