Besides, she's middle aged now and may have lost her good looks.
She would still be the better looking of the couple, anyway she may object to the coupling, I mean lets face it..........Jif?

Well Bob... what I had to face was the fact that she told me last year was the fact that although she thought I was really cute, she belonged to Keefy an' was saving herself accordingly... I was devastated of course, but I'm tough and I lived through it...

Default Ball Park

My GPS hasn't got Ball Park in it so could someone post directions for me please. I plan to leave home before 05:00 on Friday so I can meet for the trip to Yackandanda. I will have 5 spare seats if they are needed.

From Wahgunyah, take Bridge Rd over the River, 1st turn on your left (at Footy ground) & the road curls around under the road to Ball Park on the opposite side.
(From Memory...) See you there!

You can print out a variation of this too: http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?hl=en&...05021&t=h&z=18

The blue marker is the entrance... keep bearing to the left back underneath Bridge Road as Howard says, and make like an army truck...

Default Loading

The Jeep was washed and loaded yesterday, and the Stuart was given a wash and 100 Litres of Premium fuel added to the load.
We had a couple of practice laps around the front of the shop, which caused a minor traffic jam!!.
This morning the truck arrived with the Bren carrier allready loaded, an hour latter the stuart was off on the first part of its journey, it should arrive at the airport tomorrow lunch time, and if work co-operates I should be there about 9.00pm tomorrow.
Just need to pack my tooth brush


Tim

Talking Upon Us!

Well fellas, it is time!
I have my trailer loaded so say G'Day & introduce yourself please. I will be at the swap meet with a couple of tyres & several ammo boxes & assorted gear. Tandem trailer behind white Falcon Ute.
Of course, if we don't catch up then, there's always the Official Photo at 12.30 Saturday! Looking forward to it all!
Howard.
PS 10.50x20 radials in case you were wondering...

Default Today (Wednesday)

I'll be heading up - for anyone who doesn't know me I'm the one with the BIG video camera.
I'll have a sound recordist with me - Brian Laurence from today - Brian was with me for Year of the Carrier. I'll also have some help on Saturday from Richard Leigh who works for me - he will have a second camera and will be doing interviews as well... then there will be Roger Clarke, my partner in crime in so many productions. He's a writer/director and will be helping me with interviews.
Please remember to bring your memories, photographs and even footage of earlier Corowa swim-ins for the video I'll be compiling for next year's 30th.
This also means of course I'll be offline until Monday night.
