As I can't go anywhere due to busy work, how about a shed day?

Beds are limited/sort of none as the family will be here, one double in the spare room (I think Johno + 1 already has dibs) and a double in the shed (I'll reserve that for Noel if Victoria come out of lockdown). Three lounges for smurfs. Plenty of floor space inside. Plenty of camping room.

First in best dressed.

Dyno run anyone?

Hi Troskie
I'm in.
One inside floor space please.
Own bedding and matres supplied.

By chance, would you have a tig welder available?
If so, maybe Pete could weave (weld) some magic for me.

Fantastic Gav! Yep, I can bring one home. I have a few options, do you want to do any ally welding or just steel? I've a CMT MIG we could use at work (3phase, can't use at home) which reduces distortion massively.

Ray, you did the right thing by them, hopefully they'll come to the party (but not the shed day  :sarcastic:).

Thank you Troy.

Steel only. I have fabricated two simple rear blinker bracket reinforcing pieces.

Sick to death of them breaking under the stress of the Top Box.

   Troy, I'll be there. Camp next to the chooks as usual. Not confirmed yet but Greg, Steve and Alf will probably be there as well.
Pete Ambo may also be a starter, will let you know ASAP. Will also let you know about beer requirements.
   Regards, Pete.  :drinks:

I'm in, wouldn't miss it for the world!

Maaaate, you know I love youse all and it's the company I come for, but.... those slow cooked legs of lamb and rhubarb crumble alone are worth every mile of a 2000 km round trip, take the shed as booked!

This year I plan on not being run off the road by an oncoming vehicle on the way home. It has also been suggested that tackling a road billed as "Australia's most dangerous road" riding alone was not very smart.https://youtu.be/cEeFLZrh_WM 

Although bitterly cold at the time, the effort of trying to right my bike and get it back on the road saw me stripped down to my T-shirt and I left my heated vest controller on the side of the road, I replaced it but I'm sorely tempted to try my luck and see if it's still there a year later.

Great stuff Troy, the Nowra and Bermi manshed weekends are the highlight of my motorcycling calendar.

I can feel the tranquillity already......

Righto Gav, no problemo.

Pete, you and the chooks are booked  :drinks:. Give me the beer order and we'll be sorted.

Noel, shed is confirmed  :good2:. Lambs are now being fattened and the rhubarb is growing well in the renovated veggie patch. You've re-learn't a valuable lesson for the trip, so as long as the borders are open (let's just assume NSW doesn't lose it next), kookaloo!

Richard, we'll be ready in November. We could be a possible pit stop on the way to Bermie.

G'day Troy

I'm a maybe for the movie room  :good:

I could bring an outlet down to temp hook up for the 3 phase  :wacko2:
But that'll only work if you've got 3 live phases at your house.
