So the day we got back from camping we spent at Jess' place and then family she shares a house with are into BMX/MTB racing (national level) and have off road bikes. All kids ones but I jumped on the 150 and had a few good hammers around the track. It brought back all the memories of my years trail ...

Never thought I would be a fan when first arrived on bikes a few years back but have to say I'm a convert now. I don't trigger it often but as you say nice to know the safety blanket is there just in case. I've had the traction control but in more times than I'm comfortable with on the Multi. It's ...

Spent yesterday on trail bikes, mountain bikes and jumping off balconies into a pool. Then unpacked all the camping crap.

I can barely move today. Seems I'm not as young as I used to be.

Hash browns, eggs and fried leftover Christmas ham.

Happy New Year you lot!

2016 was a pretty big year for me and hoping 2017 just continues the way the last few months have gone.

Yup tried that Rossgo and still too hot! But it probably had a lot to do with the sunburn from packing up in the hot sun

Packed up camp and headed home. Just got in at 11.30pm. Had to cut a day short as there were massive thunderstorms forecast. So spent all day packing up while the kids and Jess went to a local pool. Started to come down as I was loaded the last few things in, so good timing! Kids were a bit annoyed ...

Sitting at cafe waiting on the food order to take back to the beach. The counter is quite high so watching all the bikini clad girls butts as they tiptoe up to make the order. There's a few granny ones too but that's the price you pay

I say upgrade as the current model is not in desperate need of replacement now the window is operational.

Yeah, but he might need his NBC kit on to operate it!!

This is the view of the camp setup. The owner of the farm is away till tomorrow but her dog has adopted us. It's a Blue Heeler and we don't know its name so the kids have given it the name 'Dusty'. Dusty slept under the trailer and decided that at 6.30am it's was time to get up and barked at our doo...

The fooking heat. 40 deg C yesterday, 37 today and the next three days we are up here camping it's 35+. Now normally I like the heat but this is insane. Especially with 6 people in a tent.

Sounds like you needed a new one anyway!

Well yesterday... finally made it away camping IMG_4218.JPG Then 2 hours away realised I'd left a mains powered mossie coil plugged in. Paranoid that it was going to overheat and burnt the house down I rang a trusted locksmith I know and got him to break in and turn it off. $160 later! Got to the fa...

Not going camping. As I was packing the camper up, all the bits I had ordered over the last month I was pulling out and checking. The camp pressure shower I discovered had no bladder so I'm having to go over to a local store to exchange it. Plus as the day got on we still hadn't done food shopping s...

Having to have an account for every f**king thing! Spent Christmas Day setting up Apple ID's for the kids on their new iPods with family sharing. I had been managing their devices under my ID up till now (older devices that couldn't do family sharing) But then they both got Mario Run. Oh we need a N...
