heyyaawll, back in ringwood for a couple of weeks after 18months travelling and working away from home, got to spend three days in the garage working on the beddie interior, only interrupted by xmas .....  anyways, two weeks left before heading back to grampians and wimmera to work so if the usuals are in the neighbourhood bring the beddie around for a beddie feastavile .......  eddy .... oh and happy new year to all 

g'day mates, chur bros .... went to the Dawn Service in Canberra today with so many others to remember and pay my respects to those who served on behalf of Aussies and Kiwis. Had a nice suprise after the Service, was strolling around Mt Ainslie looking for where I had parked (duh ... it was dark at 430 a.m.) and came across a good looking swb cab trayback parked on the street. Nice way to end the early morning. 

woo hooo, this week is my last with my current employer then a few weeks in Melbourne raising cash for fuel then me and the faithful one (thats the missus not the beddie) will be heading off on an extended 18 month road trip. Hooking up the caravan behind the poofjero and heading where ever  . Beddie will sit in the garage for 18 weeks before we come back to Melbourne to take it to whereever we end up. No plans, no committments, no idea and no money. Will be looking for work wherever, in my past life I was a carpenter so returning to the tools, been offered house sitting in Hervey Bay for 3 months but undecided might get bored being in one place, perhaps Nth Qld, Nth Territory or maybe Perth? 18 months on the road going where the work is ....... this weekend sanded the rear of the van, fitted struts to the one piece rear door and picked up reverse switch for ozzie 4 speed today from Joe in Dandenong, have to fit the van out with shelving to carry tradie tools then service and register her, then look for tradie roof rack to fit beddie. Still haven't started packing at home or at work but time is getting close to saying bye bye to 3 sons at home and hello to adventure before dementia   

Hey boyz and girlz only putting this out there as a matter of interest, I have a nearly completed swb windowless van, engineered 253 4 speed, dual fuel, 9" diff. disc brake front, needs work to complete but have lately been considering a cf swb cab tray back as a preferred work truck for the move back to the tools, luv the van but gotta be practical, if no good I'll turn the custom van into a work van but I reckon that will wreck it, check out my gallery pg 6 ......... 

Just saw a promo for the new A Team movie, throw in Adrians Charity A Team van and we got ourselves a new post  can't do too much till we get a meet and greet with Adrian but what a great cause if he agrees to get BUGA-a-fied and accepts a little help from the BUGA brethren for charity ......
