Ramp Rage!

 What an episode! As I come into pt peron i ask ol mate thats docked "are you taking your boat in or out?" 

 

"In" he replies. OK no probs I will dock behind him and retrieve after him. 

 

I get to my car and drive to ramp and have beaten him there, I park, he pulls up and starts screaming "if you're in such a  farkin rush carnt get you farkin boat then!"

I replied to the dickhead that I was in no rush at all. He carried on for the next 5mins while retrieving his boat so I walked down to the ramp and let hiom know to settle the fark down, he has gotten the wrong impression and I am in no rush at all. His reply is "lets punch on  on the ramp,I say o.k and he says we will drive down the road after retrieving our boats. I replied whatever mate, moved my car to another ramp, retrieved my boat and drove off.

 

What a dickhead


Swivel

 Any better swivels on market? 


Curing Meats (pic heavy)

Anyone else into curing meats? I've been doing it for almost 2 years now and have done several coppas and pancettas in my curing fridge and done a few honey cured bacons and pastrami in my smoking oven. Still haven't got around to doing chorizo, salami or dried italian sausage but it is definitely on my to do list.

Just bought a nice slab of pork belly last night and split it in half to make some honey cured streaky bacon and another pastrami.

Chilli Sauce

 Bottled up the first batch of chilli sauce for this summer.

The darker coloured sauce is the sweet and the lighter is a bit spicier.. Should keep me going till the rest of the chillies are ripe.


Another of life's questions to ponder

 I heard this morning 3 Islamic females detonated bombs around their waists and killed a heap more. Now the male of this species has incentive, 72 virgins await him. So that said, What are they luring the ladies with?

Advice on buying a boat

 

Hi all 

I am about to buy my 1st ever boat off Gumtree (the dealer at the boatyard was not helpful) , I know nothing about boating but have friends who are pro-fishermen and know their boats to help me. Finally settled on the one we want, marine mechanic has inspected and given the all clear. 

Have a boat lifter organized and have someone to take us fishing whenever we want (the other 360 days of the year when we don't use it he can take the boat out and will drop us off fish/crays in return)

I will be paying by bank cheque but the boat has 3 registered owners.

My question is presuming there are transfer papers, do all 3 owners have to sign?

Also my banker has stated that I need to ensure that none of the owners has a mortgage or other loan linked to their share of the boat? (ie if they default then the boat could be re-possessed?) Anyone aware of this and what steps I need to take to protect my investment

Thnaks  for any advice, sorry if its a dumb question but I am a novice at this

Regards

Surfers in Mexico Missing

 So whats peoples thoughts on these surfers in Mexico that are missing presumed dead? Pretty tragic and feel sorry for the familys.

 

My personal opinion is that they were smuggling drugs, most likely cocaine, north into USA or Canada, and deal went wrong somewhere... Pretty suss that they had done multiple trips down to Mexico, the area they were in is not safe for tourists, and this shit on facebook that makes it pretty obvious that atleast Adam was not a "straighty".

 

 

@Closed out of respect for the deceased. Adam

John Papas trailers burns

 Just saw on the morning news, big fire overnight at John Papas Trailers, looks bad, will be a terrible Xmas for all concerned.


Would the real Western Warriors please stand up

To fight tooth and nail for the draw last match only to meekly roll out the carpet to the Vics on the reverse fixture at home is very disappointing as I was really hoping this was going to be our year. I know we were short 2 Marshes, Voges and the Dorf but you need to at least take 20 wickets at home.

Looks like the boys have slipped back into old ways and with CA allowing blatant doctering of pitches for the Shield final to all but ensure a draw you'd just about have to conceed that it's all over for the boys this season before it even began. I really hope JL is out there washing Mitch Johnson's car at the moment to entice him to pull on the baggy black.

... and why the bloody hell is Stoinis not playing for WA!

 

 


Gas Plumbers - a question as I dont want to be ripped off

Just had a reno at home, lifted a deck to make the front door look better. The problem is that we have to get plumbing and Gas to the house lifted aswell.

Old deck had 13mm gas piping, but the plumber claim that new regulations state it has to be 20mm. So he has to change that and with that the price has rocketted.

Googled this and couldnt find anything on regs so was hoping someone on here is/knows of a gas fitter that can give me a heads up.

Cheers

Xtreme products

 Gday everyone.

Does anyone know if xtreme products still exist? I'm having some problems with my Evapack cryvac machine and trying to find some contact details to get in touch with Dave. Just wanna try trouble shoot the problems with him and see if he can recommend somewhere to take it to get fixed. 

Bit dissappinted with the product really, cost $200 and only worked for 100 or sealed bags and now won't work.

otherwise if anyone knows who can fix things like this then let me know and I'll just get it fixed through them. 

Cheers Paul

LED spotlight thoughts

 So bit the bullet and upgraded the prado to a 200 series cruiser. Now have to set it up for the annual run up north. What are your thoughts on a decent set of Led's for it. Mid range and price. Seen a few but most shops want to sell me their stock and bag everything else.

Cheers

Keeping backyard chooks

 Hi guys.  Sorry if this thread is not about crays or spearing fish! 

 

I have nearly completed our little chicken pen.  It measures 4m long x 1m wide x 1m high.  It will be finished in a few days. Looking at keeping 3-4 chooks, which hopefully will give us 2-3 fresh eggs a day.  They will also be pets for our 2yo daughter. There are numerous breeds to choose from! Anyone here keep chooks and can recommend certain breeds?  Im after breeds that are low maintenance, friendly and preferably doesnt stop laying after 12 months!

 

Cheers guys
