Boats, bearings, bbq, and beers - 1st April

[Davo_Dinkum]

hehehe u are a funny bunch .

don't think i will make it ,be packing to go away and checking my own bearings .

[bootyinblue]

Folks... calling for a show of hands over the next day or so, so I can organise some bangers and onions.

Will put on an esky of softies, but feel free to bury something stronger into the ice if you want to bring some along.

Easiest way to count the numbers is if you can PM me please.

Good size area of grass to work on (Kreel if you are showing up, no high heels please as its marks the lawn)

Tina - Dont worry I left some grass for you to mow too. (As long as the electrics in the mower dry out by then)

Awesome idea Booty and I look forward to seeing that aread filled with boats.

I was fully intending to drag the tinny there as there are 100 questions I would like to ask experienced people.

Johnny and I have found this is the only weekend for the next many we can get together for a solid two days to nut out a plethora of AFO stuff so thats what we will be doing. If we get more than epxected done and dusted Saturday we could still try but I doubt it sorry with the present list looking more like 5 days work not 1

Looking forward to the report

I could give you a hand if you like :woohoo: :kiss: :woohoo: :kiss:

[shortie]

Hands up for me.

I will have bearing boat and Grease.

Next question is who is going to do the job for me, as im lazy

[Do$tylz]

wholly jeezus greg. I just googled plainland.... man that's a beast of a drive to get there.

[JarrydA]

Less than an hour from brisbane CBD.

[Eug]

it'll be interesting to see:

a) who's bearings can make the trip there

who'll be on the side of the road on the trip home

Point taken.

Sorry if i seemed rude or anything. I just have the same mentality, as the plainland hotel is one of my customers and i regularly have to go out there, and dread it, then once i get there, realise its not so far :dry:

Probably why Jeff is having it at his place

[Eug]

Also if people are working on grass it'll probably be a good idea to bring some 2x4 (wood) for the jacks/axle stands and a drop sheet wouldn't go astray in case you start losing things.

also good in case of green ants

Goodluck, those sneaky bastards will get you no matter where you run :woohoo: :silly:

[bootyinblue]

wholly jeezus greg. I just googled plainland.... man that's a beast of a drive to get there.

It's probably a large latte and 2 croissant drive for you Brisbane folk. I can go from my place to indro in under am hour.

Shortie - I have put you down for half dozen

Don't worry about dropping stuff in the grass, as the mower will find them easily enough

[shortie]

Booty I will have my 7 year old Peddle bin with me.

Better kill a cow.

[bootyinblue]

Will raise your sauage order to an even dozen then!

Who else is coming out for the trip?

[Bommie]

I might pop out for a drive and drop your welder and the ski tube, jacket and batten off, don't worry about any food for me thanks

[bootyinblue]

I am sure I can wrestle one snag off Shorties son for you ;-)

[shortie]

ROFL thats a big call. He is bigger than you.

[Manni79]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this, will be packing up the house & getting ready to move

Shoudl be an awesome leraing day - have fun

[shortie]

I now wont be taking the boat out to do the bearings. Ive just have the canopy man call wants me to drop the boat of Friday.

However i will still be out there to offer my assistance.

Will bring Trolly jack and stands.

Have plenty of grease given to me from Kurt.

[Eug]

might just be greggles then...

[tomca]

Maxi is coughing up some bulk flegm at the moment so we will probably NOT be bringing the new wheels out for a run

[Uthrax]

Might be wise to get some spare split pins too

[bootyinblue]

Buying snotages (sorry Tomca, I meant sausages) tomorrow, so get on board and pm me if you are heading over so can get another dozen....

Got stuff to do with the boys greg will have to pass. have a good one

[shortie]

better pm me the address Greg.

[Eug]

better pm me the address Greg.

likewise mate... what time, early is better not too hot then.

[bootyinblue]

Pm's have been sent to all and sundry. For any late starters, just give me a yell on here and we can sort something out.

[tomca]

There will be no April fool shenanigans for me, Max is still crook

[shortie]

My opinion this is going to be the same as the organized socials

Lots of interest shown on the threa but in the end same few people will show up

Especially after all the talk of being more social

[aussie123]

I was real keen for this but I have a wholesaler coming here tomorrow to pick up a heap of fish so I am stuck at home all day now.

[shortie]

It was a great day

I noticed heaps of people put there hand up to come but very few showed up

I thought everyone wanted more socials

Hopefully people will keep to their word and show up to the other organized socials

Anyway after replacing booties bearing and having some problems

Removing the old bearing races the bbq and beers and shenanigans were great

[bootyinblue]

Yep, all done and dusted for the day.

Thanks to Shortie for the ribs for lunch, passionfruit slice, playing the overseers role and general banter.

Thanks to Bommie for dropping on through, dropping a few things off and leaving richer than when he arrived. Got to be happy with that.

Thanks to Tina for wanting to go for a spin on the lawn tractor. Said you may as well engage the blades then, and she cut a good hunk of the property.

And thanks to Eug who performed an outstanding role as site safety officer by immediately shaking his head on arrival and producing 4 stands for the jacked up trailer. He then proceeded to try and install 1 hub without putting in the outside race. But redeemed himself by pulling the other side apart again to install the washer I thought was just surplus packing.

And for the record Eug did the drivers side hub
