Show us what you got this year.
I know it's a bit early but Cameron & I are going on a boys weekend away this weekend and my old esky had split apart. Can't complain as it was near on 20 yo so had a good life for a cheapy. SWMBO must have read my mind as I had been thinking of a smaller one this time as it's usually just Cam & I these days and I have an Engel as well. So anyway tonight it was early Fathers day so I can use it this weekend. Mighty pleased.

I'm going to be away from the family for Fathers Day :'(
But, I will be on a Motorbike trip I won, with Daryl Beattie from Cairns to The top of Cape York :D :D :D
I'm sure ill miss the kids, and they'll miss me, but its only for a few days!
-
I remember your post on the subject and dismissed it with major rage and jealousy. Have fun on your travels and I'm sure you will catch up on Fathers day when you return.
What will you be riding? I lent my XL500 to a mate so he could ride it to the cape years ago but never did it myself as kids came along. Too old now to do it on a bike.
-
My wife suggested I do a boys trip (my mates, no kids) to the coast and enjoy some fishing, camping and beers.. I said no as I don't want to miss out on breakfast in bad at home.
Got me thinking though, perhaps she ain't getting me anything?!?
:cheers:

Not any more. The wife actually chose the patrol as she did not like the look of the cruiser or paj. Suited me as the Patrol was my first choice.

I was lucky enough to get a $150 gift voucher to one of my favourite stores........................Trade Tools :cup: , I'll be in there tomorrow like a kid in a candy shop :cheers:
-
Pair of new Levi jeans as the other 3 pairs I have I have used everyday since I retired a year ago including working on my Prado and they have stains which cannot be removed. No roast lamb for dinner just been advised I am having left overs!!! But that's OK.
-
We typically do fathers day on the Saturday to avoid all the crowds. Had a great lunch at a winery yesterday, box of liquor chocolates and the promise of a travel buddy oven in the post.
BBQ today with the in laws and a nice bottle of wine to finish of the weekend.
-
A couple of small presents. Small and cheap, but definitely appreciated.
The biggest gift though was a simple card - words to melt my heart and to let me know I'm doing OK as a Dad.
-
New boots for my new Patrol, a new (2nd hand) iPad, to replace the other two, that have been lost to the kids, a roast lamb dinner and a promise for later. ;D
-
No exactly Father's Day stuff but ordered new set of BFG's 225/75/R16's for the Prado, old Yokohama's going on the camper, just got to check that they aren't old stock >:(, on special for $265.00 each including fitting and balancing, and they are doing the camper as part of the deal ;D.
Please don't tell me it's not a good deal. ???

Had a great day.
Daughter won her soccer grand final :cup: great game with a 2-2 draw at full time.
Still even after 5 mins each way extra time.
Still even after 5 penalty shots each in penalty shoot out.
Finally a result after the third sudden death penalty shoot out.
Also scored the latest lee child novel, some Darrell Lea rocky road, worlds greatest dad stubby holder from the school stall and some stuff I bought at the Penrith caravan camping show on Friday for the Expand a when it turns up.

Scored well this morning and nice breakfast in the morning. 20deg and no wind...then sat in a gymnastics hall watching oldest 7y/o boy compete in first gymnastics comp. Was great to see him compete but they need to book things when the weather is bad!!

But, I will be on a Motorbike trip I won, with Daryl Beattie from Cairns to The top of Cape York :D :D :D
I'm sure ill miss the kids, and they'll miss me, but its only for a few days!
How is Daryl's unimog going?
That would make a great camper!!????
-
The unimog had an issue just before departure, so they bought a Land Cruiser ute instead. I would have loved to see the Unimog all setup.
My Father's Day present was riding the Old Telegraph Track and arriving at the Tip. We did 1,653kms in 5 x days on Honda CRF450s.
However, the best part of the trip was calling the wife & kids last night for the 1st time in 5 days and telling them I had made it with no major injuries.
Waiting at the Bamaga International Airport now, so I can be home tonight.
-
got a McHitch AT35 adaptor - looking forward to trying it out in a few weeks time .....

Bonnie brought me the tablet on ebay, through an Australian seller, or so they said, postage was quick though, just a few days.
I have fitted a 32gb sd card for the maps and the mapping program which I got from Ozi Explora, which was not expensive.

Ended up being a great day. SWMBO had me cleaning the house in the morning, with no kids around feeling a little down.
Then I am told I am going shopping, why not, a better option than cleaning.
As we are packing the groceries into bags one of my sons turns up!
He had worked until 1:00am then got on a train at 7:30am for the 4 hr trip.
Really made my day. Spent the afternoon chatting then went for a walk at Borenore Caves.
Still miss my other two kids but one is better than none.

I have been using this Skin (https://www.exploroz.com/Shop/ExplorOz+EOZi.aspx#rqc_tabs=0)and find it makes Ozi a bit easier to use.
