Red 76, standard uniform of my/our generation, I have switched to ruggers now as they don't seem to get that permanent leg flare of stubbies, still shorts though, not those half jeans things. I think my lollies have still got a bit of charm & I've decided to grow old disgracefully anyway.
Paddy there's a few photos with my posts on the '' introduce yourself thread" but I don't want to get a reaming from the mods, so I think you'll be disappointed bud.
So, I get the auto fixed, after working that off, the Top end's calling again, find the ute, sell the van (another mistake) make some changes & head north to a job in the Vic river area, bit of time to kill, detour to Normanton/Karumba QLD, help a bloke on the side of the road, turns out he owns a joint with a pork problem. Help him with that for longer than I should have then back to the Territory for a job that turns out has a donkey & barra problem I can help with also, which is what I was doing the day I rushed out to secret spot 75 & dove down into the creek with the twin thermo's on which caused the 308's spark to go out, with the water flowing in over the doors i cranked it forwards on the starter until the Batteries gave up & slowed the water, took the photo and the rest of the gear up high on the bank & spent the rest of the day winching it out by hand using the roo jack, snatch strap & a very stretchy piece of that blue & yella telstra rope. Roo jack- swim chock ute with rock-swim re jig jack & repeat. 15kay night walk back to the station, clear skies so hopefully it would still be there in the morning, drove back out & towed it around till it started & drove back through the creek without the fans, much easier, the barra could wait, had the ute for another 4 years, no dramas
