Hi, I jumped out of bed this morning to witness a sunrise here at Wongaling Qld a beautiful 17degs.
My lady has not found any unattractive insects to ruin my day, so all good in that department, been into the office paid for 3 more nights, great value @ $30 a night including power and water.
Hi radar, such a beautiful photo. Sounds like you are having a great time. Enjoy.

Yesterday I had about half a molar just break off, then had the joy of arranging a trip to the dentist to have it extracted. As a person who has had a fear of dentists since I had a nasty one as a child, this leads to sweaty palms, trembling & sometimes panic attacks.
Something told me to leave early for the dentist, which is only 15 mins away. Just as well I did, as traffic was banked up due to a nasty accident where a Prado had rolled over 2 or 3 times.
The dentist I go to knows my fears & is the ultimate professional. After waiting for the injection to work, a few pushes & pulls, followed by a bit of cracking & the bloody thing came out in one piece. This guy is so good he ALMOST makes it a joy to visit the dentist.
Today I am home recovering & doing the salt water thing. I hate how difficult it is to eat on one side only!
Ho fwdog, rest up. Age catchs up with our teeth too unfortunately. I went to dentist today too. My aching teeth are due to my sinus-s . Go figure that. Not complaining though as i thought this visit would be no good news. $174 for exam n Xray. That hurt.
I have known many dentists over the years rocket who charge to (as my dad used to say) "fund their around the world trip".
This one was $225 for an xray & the extraction. 1 1/2 hours all up. I was expecting in the $300's. Was about the same as what a plumber charged me for 25 mins work after 6pm.
Hi kaid, well, its been a month since anyone was on here and i am guessing you have moved on from texas.
we finished a housesit. Only the nbn was being installed in the street. 3 days in front of us So loud all day long we had to go out. Other than that it was good.
Took a whole heap of 3rd and Youngest daughters clothing to the recycle bin, as she is probably fleeing the nest. Went shopping whilst the missus is at work at the RMHospital. I'm Prepping for night shift now, pre shift nap.... dammit. Not much longer hopefully.
You've got to get your mail and parcels somehow :)
We have been back a week from Bingara, a week of Veterans Golf...great spot.
Heading to Gloucester Thursday for 3 days to meet up with old sailing friends (yes we are all a lot older). Some, like us are now yachtless but are experiencing the dry land cruising. Haven't seen some of them since 2003. Looking forward to.
Plenty cheers!!

I greased both grease nipples on the van. I had put my cousin Kerry's (KJB) 8mm films to USB flash drive and he was coming to pick them up so I asked him if he could bring a grease gun. Sure enough the nipples got greased.
You are a devious Gentleman, Paul, just like me, ha ha ha
Without being told/asked, I changed the engine oil and filter, on the wife's car, (to get in the good books)
I then casually mentioned, that as I had recently change out a front wheel bearing, on the Motorhome, we should plan a little trip, to check it out, before we head east on boxing day
Fingers crossed, we have a short trip coming up, ha ha ha
Starting getting organised to go down to Tamworth for the Country Music Festival.
No problem with accommodation, parking the Van outside our Sons place

Valkie hi.
Sounds like a busy day from one end of NSW to the other, that is the whole of NSW is it not?
Wait to you retire and can get a all day ticket to ride on NSW transport for $2.50. Best deal ever.
We grew up on the Coast, Wife at Wyoming and I at The Entrance moved north sometime back and we wanted to spend time in Sydney.
In 5 days left car and caravan near Newcastle trained to Sydney central, into a rented unit then played on trains, light rail and ferries with an odd bus ride and then on day 5 back to Awaba all at $2.50 a day, awesome way to see around Sydney town and travel on the ferries to see the beautiful habour. Of cause Manly for fish and chips on the Prome.
We live in Brisbane not as cheap but with changes coming in, it will be free travel between certain times of the day, very user friendly.
Enjoyed a few good meals at the Wyong RSL , Gorokan Club and Killarney Sports Club.
