Default 2009 Glenburn (no barn)

The year started off with the Gun tractor getting a new paint job thanks to katrina who hated the camo pattern so offered to sand it back if i would paint it. Job finished in time for Australia day rally.
After Aust day I was all enthused to start the next project as I still had time off work. The plan was to restore a F60l for Corowa so we could take 3 Blitzes. With 4 weeks how hard could it be? Then came the hot weather and the fires. The fires through the plan out the window as the farm at Glenburn were I was restoring the F60l was burnt out and with road blocks it made it real hard to get the truck out for sand blasting. I have now sandblasted the cab, tray and chassis, its now time to paint.

Well mate she must love you. That is a bugger of a job and look she is doing it without hardly a hair out of place.

Trust the kids are doing fine now.

You and I are both very lucky. Euan. My offsider, Jill, also gets down and dirty out in the shed. Ok, ok ok,!! Not what you lot are thinking, Jill really mucks in and helps with the restorations. She does always wear gloves though.

Looking forward to seeing Katrina's work first hand.

Really glad her folks didn't loose the house etc. at Glenburn.
I see my old trailer didn't suffer in the fires.

Regards to you and Katrina and the kids.
Rick
