Gday Harri, Even though you are on the other side of the world, I thought, seeing as you were online, that I would ask you how are you going mate? Hopefully all is well with you and yours, and things are stable as can be in the land of mountains and snow. I am interested in how your country is...

A huge thank you to Flowerpot for the box of delicious chocolates that arrived today! :drooling: Wow! There is months of yumminess to be enjoyed, followed by a trip to the Dr for a diabetes check up :playful: Just another example of how great and generous the people on this forum are :clap...

Left the heads about 7 am in my mates 4.5m boat and headed for the FAD (about 21km away) :argh: All the reports said the day would improve weather/swell wise, and although it was a bit lumpy and uncomfortable for a while, the conditions did improve and we had a cracking day out on the water...

Had a good day out and about up Tilligery and managed to score a feed. Released a few others and lost a cracking fish after a 5 minute fight. A few squid, a couple of blue swimmer crabs, 4 shovel nosed rays and saw a big turtle. A great day out on the calm waters and tomorrow heading out...

I am a bit embarrassed to have to be asking the following questions :8 Due to lack of use/time, the batteries that I left (stupidly), in my xterra 705 have leaked and it is no longer turning on. :rolleyes: I have cleaned up the terminals as best I can with some white vinegar and sandpaper but...

I am looking for a Birthday gift for the missus and as she was born in July I thought a nice birthstone would fit the bill. There are some very talented people on here and was wondering if anyone had a stone that they had cut themselves to sell? PM me if that works :cool: Cheers, Billy.

I recently found out that I have inherited this beautiful pocket watch and was checking it out today. I'm amazed by the craftsmanship and beauty of it and thought I would share a few (a lot ;) ) photo's. Its extremely heavy for its size and both sides of it open. Since I know sweet FA about...

Anyone lucky enough to be camped out enjoying the big moon? Unfortunately I'm not, but managed to get a few shots of it with my new toy :cool: No idea how to use the thing , but for a first attempt thought these came out ok. Cheers, Billy.

Apologies for the photo's, The old man found it in the paddock and it looks like it may have been there for a while! Be interested in knowing a bit more about it. Cheers, Billy.

Well as promised here is the story and a few photos of my newly acquired dry blower from MJB. I discussed with him the possibility of getting him to make me one and the logistics of getting it from SA to NSW. We managed to get my ute to him so the project was a goer!! :lol: It turned up in a...

G'day all, I thought I would share a few photo's (apologies for crappy phone) of a mother duck and her young coming literally right to my feet whilst panning at one of my local haunts. Having lived most of my life in the bush I can't remember another time when a wild animal was so unconcerned...

Details are sketchy on where it was found (a mate found it) but it was in NSW on land that used to be an army base many years ago. Does anyone have any info like its age or who made it etc? I guess it could be hand made. Thanks in advance for any info. Cheers, Billy.
