Bimini's / Shade covers
Submitted by Adam Gallash on Tue, 2007-11-27 11:50Hi Guys,
I am looking to get a shade cover or a decent sized bimini for my 4.1m tinny. Its starting to get into the 40's and I really need to get some sun protection. I just did a search on boatsonline and found an identical boat to mine but with the bimini. Does anyone know where I can buy one when I'm back in Perth?


Cheers,
Adam

hid conversion kits
Submitted by mako magic on Sat, 2007-11-24 11:22i recently put a set of HID spotlights on my patrol and am so happy with them the light is so white and bright, not cheap but well worth the money, what i was wondering was whether anyone has got or seen a set of the h4 conversion hi/low beam set thats available for the normal lights in the car, been having a look to upgrade the globes as they arent too bright so thought maybe this might be another way of getting better light, can get a set for around $100 odd from ebay. any help would be great

Our side of the story
Submitted by Jody on Wed, 2007-11-21 20:28'So, how is everything going?' enquired God.
'It is all so beautiful, God,' she replied. 'The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking, the smells, the sights, everything is wonderful, but I have just one
problem. It is these breasts you have given me. The middle one pushes the other two out and I am constantly knocking them with my arms, catching them on branches and snagging them on bushes. They are a real pain,' reported Eve.
And Eve went on to tell God that since many other parts of her body came in pairs, such as her limbs, eyes, ears, etc.......she felt that having only two breasts might leave her body more 'symmetrically balanced,' as she put it.
'That is a fair point,' replied God, ' But it was my first shot at this, you know. I gave the animals six breasts, so I figured that you needed only half of those, but I see that you are right. I will fix it up right away.' And God reached down, removed the middle breast and tossed it into the bushes.
Three weeks passed and God once again visited Eve in the Garden of Eden.
'Well, Eve, how is my favourite creation?'
'Just fantastic,' she replied, ' But for one oversight on your part. You see, all the animals are paired off. The ewe has a ram and the cow has her bull. All the animals have a mate except me. I feel so alone.'
God thought for a moment and said, 'You know, Eve, you are right. How could I have overlooked this? You do need a mate and I will immediately create a man from a part of you. Now let's see............where did I put that useless tit?
Now doesn't T H A T make more sense than that crap about the rib?

Looks good
Submitted by Jody on Sun, 2007-11-11 19:32
Heads up all you youngsters.
Borrowed from another site, sure Terry won't mind
All the details and application form from http://www.recfishwest.org.au/MediaStateYoungFutureLeaders.htm
Recfishwest is trying to find some future young leaders (FYL) to help steer rec fishing in the future.
Anybody (under 35) can nominate, and the 15 selected will be taken to the Abrolhos Islands to spend time on a fisheries research vessel dealing with science and compliance, be mentored by experts, and even do a bit of fishing. The aim of the trip is to give the FYL an appreciation of ALL sides of the management debate, and hopefully an insight into what it takes for us all to move forward.
Applications are invited from people anywhere in WA, and your costs will be met.
It's hoped that these FYL will add to the RFAC (regional fishing advisory committees) throughout the state, adding to the effectiveness and diversity of these groups.
contact Recfishwest to nominate.

Any recommendations on what phone I should get (3G, next G, GSM) for best overall coverage, both for around Dampier/Karratha and also for the long drive up to Karratha?
I plan on getting a car kit put in to increase range and reception.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Theft from boats.
Submitted by alfred on Sat, 2007-11-10 19:29I have not used my boat for a few months due to weather, work and commitments and unfortunately it is parked outside on the verge. I was readying the boat for a fish and have discovered that my fire extinguisher, boat hook , gaff, eprib, and life jackets have been stolen.
Yeah yeah, I know, I should not leave these things in my boat, but ........... sigh! Wish the pr*cks would use their own money to buy stuff instead of stealing form someone else.

Aaaah, now I understand
Submitted by Jody on Fri, 2007-11-09 10:381. WHY ARE MEN SUCH JERKS?
3. WHY DO MEN ALWAYS TOUCH THEMSELVES, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC?
4. WHY DO MEN ALWAYS SAY SUCH STUPID THINGS?
5. WHY ARE MEN SO UNCOMMUNICATIVE?
6. WHY DO MEN HAVE TO ACT LIKE SUCH RETARDS?
7. WHY CAN'T MEN JUST SHARE THEIR FEELINGS?
8. WHY CAN'T MEN CUDDLE MORE (I.E. LIE DOWN AND HUG)?
9. HOW CAN MEN SIT ON THEIR ASSES ALL DAY WITHOUT MOVING?
10. WHY CAN'T MEN JUST SAY "I LOVE YOU?"
11. WHY DO MEN SAY "I LOVE YOU" WHEN THEY HARDLY KNOW ME?
12. WHY DOESN'T MY PARTNER EVER ANSWER ME?
13. WHY WON'T MEN EVER PICK UP AFTER THEMSELVES?
14. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BELCHING AND FARTING?
15. WHY DO MEN HATE SHOPPING?
