Anybody else suffering cabin fever?
« on: March 02, 2013, 02:45:27 PM »
Bloody rain.  Have now cancelled two camping weekends this year due to the rain in so called sunny Queensland.  Seriously starting to get sick of sitting around home.  If I don't get out camping soon, the wife will have me doing jobs around the house.  Anybody else getting sick of being stuck at home?

With only about 5 days without rain in six week SWMBO said she has never realised how annoying I am.
Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

Yep, over the rain....

Too wet to mow, so no work for the moment but 40 something places waiting plus the normal weeks work.

Too wet to go boating and too much crap floating around in the water.

But the upside is, i got laid this afternoon and it was gooooooooood.  >:D

two and half minutes of pure animal sexual feats on my part.  ;D

Long range forecasters are suggesting 40-50 days of rain over autumn.... :(

Jeepers, feel like driving 3 hrs in rain to mow approx  70sqm of turf? I can do it myself, but if you're bored and want a road trip I could make it worth your while. Grog, food, bed & small $ compensation offered....

Well I finally started my long awaited holidays today ... In the rain.

Plan was for a 3 week road trip in the hilux with CT, missus and 2 hounds.  Brisbane to Yarramundi to stay with Brother and Sister in-law for a week.  Then to Dubbo to do the zoo visit.  Then to Copeton National Park to camp, fish, frolic, drain a few bottles of single malt, more fishing and frolicking.  The long drive back to Brisbane stopping overnight where we please.

Update on that plan - can't get to in-laws due to flooding.  Looks like the amount of rain to come will prevent camping at Copeton and even a few overnighters at locations closer to home and will definitely put the fish off the bite..... Bugga.........

I purchased the CT October last year and still haven't spent a night in it ........  >:(
Cheers,
