New Boots & Old Stuff

Saturday was 'G Day!' Our Garage Sale took place, along with another 17 in Gladstone apparently. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have sold as much of our old stuff as we did, considering how much competition was out there. The day started incredibly early...1am and the storm started, so I was up moving some of the gear we'd set up the night before out of the 'wet zone'.  By 2am it was bucketing down and Jon and I had to move more stuff and sweep the excess water out of the carport. We were told by a customer later in the morning that we'd got 2.5 inches in the 2 hrs of storms. Anyway, we were set for a 7am start but had 20 customers by 6.30! 6 hours later we were packing up, all smiles after a successful morning of sales and socialising. 

To add to the excitement of the day we had my sister, her husband and their 2 year old visiting on the weekend; Jon's work Christmas party on Saturday arvo; an awfully smelly blocked drain which has our kitchen sinks and dishwasher not working AND a tour of our house by potential renters. Phew! The adventures never stop!

The previous Saturday saw our trusty Nissan get 'new boots'.....tyres! It looks great, ready for all sorts of off-road adventures in '09. We chose BF Goodrich All Terrains and were able to get them very easily through Bob Janes here in Gladstone. Feels a little different to drive....but I'll let Jon explain the technicalities of all that.....next time.

This week more work gets done on the Navara...it really is getting 5 star treatment. Jon and his Dad will be spending some quality time together in Dad's big shed building a tray for the back of the Nissan. They are such clever boys!
