That would be quite a comfy reliable vehicle to drive The down side of old ' Landys' , they ain't comfy. They're not built for speed or comfort , just work, but they do have a good low range. . After a weekend of 4 wheel driving ( back in the day ) it feels like I've done a workout at the gym . Heavy clutch ,and steering , no luxury of power steering. But if it gets a few dents, get a hammer, bang 'em back out again. If the battery is low, use a crank handle to start it. Can't do that these days. No way would I take a fancy latest model modern 4WD in the bush, too much to go wrong, and one scratch and its devalued by $5K lol .

Members Handstitched Posted March 26, 2023 Members Report Posted March 26, 2023 @chuck123wapati G'Day, hope all is well, Just popped in We got hit with a massive thunder storm early this morning about 5.30 . Just about to drive to a market when ' Mother Nature' said....'nup stay in bed' . Heavy rain, heavy hail,( looked like snow) thunder, the full works. Our Winter creek turned into a raging torrent, never seen so much water . Paddocks ,ours and neighbors got flooded. Some damage to fencing etc. but all good otherwise. Nowhere near the damage that the tornado caused over there. Needless to say, I went back to bed HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

CFM chuck123wapati Posted March 26, 2023 Author CFM Report Posted March 26, 2023 Handstitched Take care my friend and stay safe, hope your place and folks are alright. Everything is warming up over here sloooowly, It has been warming and melting for the last couple weeks but it still snows almost daily and i still have drifts in my yard. At the least they will keep my apricot tree from budding early this year. Always look on the bright side but man i could sure use some backyard time on the grill.

Hear hear !!! We're all safe ,thanks, just a lot of mess. We've had some wild weather before , but never seen so much water in such a short amount of time go across our paddock. What I keep seeing over here in the news is two semi's rolled over like they were toys after the tornado . If it cheers you up, our weather is just starting to cool down, a bit, so we had slow cooked curried lamb shanks in a nice curry sauce tonight. Soooo damn delish, tender meat just fell of the bone, not too spicy , they're messy to eat...but I don't care . The messiest feeds are often the best....you couldn't take me to a fancy restaurant I better get the ol' weber BBQ cleaned up and ready soon.

Take care, and my respect to Mother Nature HS Spring is sprung the huge drifts have been replaced with light skiffs in the morning lol. Took the day off today to rack up last falls wine 5 gallons, It is Chokecherry, Service berry, two local native fruit trees. They make an awesome dark red semi sweet wine that is just fruity and good we go pick them in late summer. then i freeze them until i can make it in the fall. Makes an awesome Sangria and Damn good when used in my marinara sauce and Italian cooking too. lol.

Members Handstitched Posted April 17, 2023 Members Report Posted April 17, 2023 The colour of the wine looks awesome Sounds delish too , and yes, marinades do come to mind . Nice to see you incorporate it with your work, along with a flint lock pistol . The one thing you wont see over here is corks in bottles of wine, its all screw tops . I'm half way making a few insulated wine bottle carriers . I have a bit of spare time now, so I may be able to get them finished. Won't be long before the Christmas leftovers come out of the freezer for soups. Its cooled right down here now, everything is nice a green , cool damp nights, totally different to a few months ago , we were frying our a**ses off.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted April 17, 2023 Author CFM Report Posted April 17, 2023 That will last about two years, I don't drink as much as i use cooking but i had to have a glass, a good cook always tastes their work you know. Cooked out doors for the first time of the year yesterday, hamburgers over an open fire and fresh homemade buns you just cant beat that smoky flavor lol. I'll be firing up the tiller today, mama wants a big garden this year so its time to get to work no more of the easy leather work for a week or so. Then i have to fix the front end on my truck, i busted two u joints on the front axles ruining both inner axles in the process so there is some money out the window i couldn't afford to lose and a lot of work to totally rebuild of the front differential. I built the pistol form a kit many years ago, basically just did the fitting and wood work but it shoots well and I'm deciding on how to carry it in my possibles bag or not, I usually just stick it in my belt like the pirates did.
