<Barnseys blogg time>

Um, er.....I'll translate that into English. Yep, had a big night last
night. My father in law used to be a cop in the 70s and 80s and his Qld
police mates' son got married yesterday. It was a TOP wedding, and there
were lots of cops and ex cops there. I listened to some very interesting
yarns....I don't know why I have the compulsion to get on the net when I'm
pissed. Never mind.

Anyway, about 4WDs............I bought my 97 GQ TD a few months ago, and it
doesn't get driven much. We only use it for 4wd ing and camping trips,
infact, we've done only 1500Ks since May. We have a feral 89 Camry we've
nick named "Tojo's Revenge" that does all the running around town. So I
haven't had much to write about 4wds. The Patrol is still immaculate, and
still very low milage. I intend to keep it that way, and own it for many
many years.

We've done quite a few camping trips within and hour or so of Townsville
with the kids. I'm trying to get another job that doesn't involve shift
work, so we can use our hard earned 4WD and camping trailer more often.

I work for Qld Health. Please help!

Actually, I was going to post up a big whinge about our last camping trip.
Tony Smith will know where I'm talking about. Kielbottom Creek. Saturday
night, clear night, watching shooting stars, total silence apart from the
crackle of the Barnsey special campfire..........then we get buzzed by 2
black hawk choppers for 2 hours!

It's near army land, so I suppose you cant complain too much, but I got the
impression that the choppers were using our camp fire as a navigation point.
They were flying at about 50 feet over the creek, and I'm sure they could
see us.

So every time they passed over us, we gave them something to look at. The
best was when my 5 kids did a line up of moons. I can only imagine what 5
bare arses would look like through night vision goggles from 50 ft up. My
wife flashed her tits at them a few times too. (4x gold involved in this
story) After awhile, I thought it might be a good idea to behave. They have
weapons in those choppers. Probably cameras too. The blackhawk squadron is
relocating to Sydney soon, and frankly, I wont miss them .

I'm wondering when the army is going to replace the landrover fleet they
have. They've been in service for more than 15 years now. I reckon they'd be
a good buy if they ever put them out on the market. What would they replace
them with? My bro in law had a great time a few months ago up in the
"villiage" they have up in the ranges. He is a cabnet maker/chippy, and he
was contracted by the army for 3 days to repair the damage the SAS did to
the buildings after they stormed them . $100/hr, free 4x and food, and he
got to watch the action too. He recomends NOT buying ex army GU patrols.

Anyway, blogg over.

Yeah, it's been a bit quiet lately. I even picked a fight with Biggus, and
he didn't bite. I'll be in Melbourne on Weds to Sun, this week. <shudder>
