Had a couple of U2U's welcoming me back.

I been busy breeding. With a new child on the way all hobbies came to a grinding halt.

This is 'Hunter' our newest edition at 15 weeks. He's helping with the VW renovation. Friday we fired the "Dog-O-War" (71 Baja) up and drove it out from the three foot grass. Started first pop with a new battery and fresh fuel.

The sheds getting a clean out and the rust has been sanded back. Time to roll some new paint on and plug the oil leaks.

We are selling the Forester so when that happen I have a gren light for rego. I'm thinking of entering this or nexr years escapade (google it) as I'm working with a couple of kids who have been touched with cancer this year.

Nice to be back guys. It"s aslo nice to see the forum is much more positive than in previous months. Last couple of times I called in the place seemed full of bitching and backbiting.

Cuppa tea time while I check over the forum.

Hunter is #3. The older two are 7 & 8. I reckon this will be the last unless I get a serious promotion.

The Nats' - Dunno at this stage. See what happens. It's a no but anything can and does always happen.
I'm enjoying a break from putting in a very serious parcel shelf. It's a false shelf so looking in the back window dosen't show the actual speakers. Planning it so it will look like there is no stereo at all.

FTF for the muggles means "First to Find". If you didn't know that your a muggle!

Theres good caching around Newcastle and the Hunter. Well maintained and beaut spots. I have a couple there.

Yeah - Hunter loves the Bug alright. I was waving to him earlier through the back window and he couldn't take his eyes off the motor. 🤪 Ya just gotta love that. I don't cache much through summer - never have really. Can't wait for the Baja to be registered so I can find some further afield.

There something special about flicking through old photos and saying remember that old beast. If it lives long enough they might get to play with it themselves one day. It'll be a buggy by then :blush

Thanks for the welcome guys and gals.

Yeah - Hunter is a cutie but he loses his charm after being awake any longer than 20 minutes post 3am.

Gpsaustralia.net is a very popular site with cachers, I think it's only second to www.geocaching.com.au site and forum. Caching is huge now. I joined where there were very few cache anywhere, now there everywhere, literally!😁

I'm researching a new mill for the Dog-O-War as it seems the current one is about to give up the game. It's had a hammering and only ever let me down once. That time heading to the Barrington Weekend. I got there eventually but then couldn't find everyone. 🥲 Was an uneventful night on the side of the road. Stayed up looking for cars and UFO's. Saw none of both.

The forum seems much better than pervious visits. I was very unhappy the last two times I visited with the riff raff wrecking it for the majority. I know it going to happen but it was almost everythread it seemed.

Great to be back guys. New motor and rego and hope to see you all at the events post winter.
