Maybe they should take the manufacturing contract away from Landrover.

Walking into work (in NSW) Thursday morning and listening to all the locals imparting their knowledge ( ???) on why they were robbed in the SOO the night before.

Didn't need to say anything just relished in walking around with a smug look on my face

Bought myself a new bit of kit,
Petrol pressure washer, 4800psi, pipe blaster nozzle, 30 meters of hose.
Concrete washer, 5 different jets, soap jet.
Works a treat, washed the eaves, gutters, Cruiser, Campers, work ute.
Very happy

Well where's the pic and how much, because I've considering doing this as part of a business venture for when I retire?  ;)

Sorry you've gone through that
When a blokes ability to earn an income is taken away from him through theft, 
The penalties have to be harsher.
 Hope you're moving forward,

The Ute was just my get around car and carry my bikes to racing and any fun times in the bush.  ;)

I would have preferred to not have been in this situation because I wanted to get to retirement and then get a new vehicle that would last me but some maggot had other ideas and yet to be caught.  >:(

Hey Foo,
I used the drain cleaning attachment today to clear about 20 meters of silted up 90mm storm water pipe today, from the recent floods, Sand, clay & some small rocks blocked the pipe.
It took about 90 minutes to clear it, it was pretty blocked.
It did it's job.

A smile a mile wide, Today I got a photo of one of my Dads Souveniers from WW2 in the Pacific from my eldest brother  ..
Back story : Dad was wounded / returned to Australia and went back to war in a headquarters group to Morotai airbase ..
 He and his mates would go to the aircraft dump and cut plexiglass out of the wrecks / shape and polish the plexiglass ..Then another mate that was a national newpaper cartoonist before the war would paint a scene of sorts and they would sell / trade the souveniers for beer money or what ever ..
The old man had a pillow case full of stuff stolen as he made his way home from the Islands in 1946 ..
Left with a small amount of Japanese invasion money,  a wadd of photo's, Samurai sword and this plexiglass painting .
I was given the photo's, my eldest brother the painting and the second oldest brother the invasion money and sword ..
For years my oldest brother had said this piece was lost / or had been thrown out .. recent conversation mention of it came up and the piece now resides along with his Vietnam keepsakes ..Fisrt time on display since he came home .....

WOW, That's awesome.
Always is special when you come across, learn more about your history, family, and possessions are returned.

Being in contact again with my mother, she is now passing on information  photos of her fathers time as a Grenadier Guard(I have is uniform, but not his Bear Hat), who served in WWII in the First & Eighth army for Britain.

First day / night in Tin Can Bay.......   Then 14 days of Chairs millionaire beach front feet up Relaxation,  watching the whales pass between the toes .. Ably assisted with a few frosty amber ales   ...What the missus and kid are going to do to amuse themselves, I have No idea   ;D 8) 8) m.
