Just went down to our local butcher to get some osso bucco bones as a treat for Zaccy, sorry just sold the last, ok, what about some gravy beef  and a bone for the dog,as he was cutting up the meat we were chatting and I told him what had happened to Zaccy, he didn't say much, just kept cutting, got out a big bone and cut that in half, put it all in a big bag and handed it over and I held out a$20.00 to pay

Nah, this ones on me for Zaccy,  :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup:

I had a lump in my throat when I walked out, there are still some lovely people around  :cup:

That is such a wonderful story, so glad that Zaccy is still with you and he now has a treat.  Little things can make all the difference one of the ladies who helped with the horses had leant me a halter and stood in the sun last week helping try to load them when she didn't have to.  I saw she was drinking cans of lemonade so the halter went back with a box of lemonade she said you didn't have to do that but I said it was all fair.

The butchers name is Tim and he owns "The Coolart Country Smokehouse Butchery" in Somerville, He buys all his meat locally, hangs it in his own cool room for about 10 days, smokes all his own bacon,hams, etc makes his own sausages.
His prices are not cheap , you will get exceptional quality if you buy something from him  :cup: :cheers:

You tell me. I'm going to meet your other half tomorrow.
Is that a good thing?

Certainly the good half!

One good thing that happened for me this week was catching up with a couple of Swaggers and their families in a nice part of the great state of Victoria, and having the DMax (somewhat) keep up with a Jeep and a Range Rover! During this trip it was suggested that everyone should own a Jeep at some stage and it got me wondering how long till they bring out a twin cab ute!  ;D

Looking forward to the next Swagger catch up now.

lol.....you will start a 'great debate' with comments like that:-)
A few single cab versions already in Aus, but as always, you'll struggle to find aftermarket accessories.
(Coz the current second fastest selling 4wd in Oz is not a Toyota or Nissan and the 3letter 4wd access suppliers reckon they can't make any money out of it..... Maybe that's a good thing.  Makes them somewhat a Uneek4x4).

Here's the single cab version from Murchison Products in Brisbane.



Here's a dual cab version in the US.


Now that could be a good thing too:-)

I can't help myself! 

I do find it interesting to see something converted into something else like a few twin cab tray cruisers around here.

Sent from somewhere on something with that tap thing
