dream fishing destinations

 If you had a choice where would your dream fishing destination be. 

 


The water looks too good

 Driving along stirling highway and looking out at the ocean thinking that looks too bloody good out there to be working. 

Not bloody fair. 

Anyhow . For those that got out there today . Good luck to you. My turn sunday i hope   


Electric motor bases

 Hi all,

i have a watersnake slider pro remote 54lb electric with a quick release base plate. Was wondering if any other brands have lockable bases that will suit watersnake or where I could find a lockable base for the watersnake? 

Cheers 


best place to stay in broome. or abroad

 hi all. hoping some can help. we are planning a trip up to broome next may for my 50th. 

we will be tenting and will need a powered site .  so where is the best place to stay. preferably central and close to the water. 

also what charters are the best to go on 

just weighing up all costs .

Another thing that were looking at is somewhere abroad that there is good fishing , snorkling and plenty to do other than bali or thailand (not interested in them )

cheers Russ


Rd 23

 Yep I've gone early but still out of range and today was a town run.  

 

Port to find a tiny weeny bit of form against bombers with no ruck they should win at home but will be sent packing first week of finals. 

Brisbane will be licking their lips to knock off the Eagles and with the two big fellas in doubt i just can't see the girls kicking a winning score. 

Hawks to beat Sydney with Bud or without...

Melbourne Gws is a coin toss,  a part of me feels like Melbourne played their GF last week but I'll flip a coin and decide...

 

I think I'm winning the tipping at this stage but I'd like to wish anyone with a chance the best of luck,  I'm still out of service this weekend but between a few waves and some fishy fingers I'll be tuning into the old ABC to listen as much as possible especially to the beloved Hawks!

I'm very happy with the new crop of players coming through and they could take a few scalps this sept hopefully. 

 

Anyway again good luck to yas all and the teams you follow!

turnball vs dutton

 both of these bolkes are damaged goods , if it was up to me and a member of the liberal party  i would be putting forward andrew hastie  , youngish bloke proven leader as an officer in the special air sevice that has served o/s   , dosent take shit ,  bugger me i am a rusted on labour person endosing a liberal


Second class when it comes to direct broadcasts

Seems we here in WA are not as important as our eastern states cousins when it comes to direct telecasts of local team games.

Melbourne vs WCE are being show direct to Melbourne while we are having to wait until 4 pm to get our look in.

 

Watching it now via vast satellite with eastern states settings


its time to go ross

 not a freo supporter but sad to see them cop a hiding today , no wonder  loyd snatched it from the club this week , 133 point  flogging  demands sacking of the coach , the problem is who do you  replace him with mmmmmmmm maybe peter sumich  


Swooping into the finals

 Just glad that we're  competitive  again


Alcohol bottles cans etc

 Just looking at some specials on whiskey and thinking everything is being downsized. A pint in a pub these days is rarely a pint, liquor used to be around 900 ml for us older fo.ks then 750 now i see 700. Even opened a can of Milo to find it was only half full. What other examples have people noticed?

AFLW Transgener policy

 See the afl were meeting last night to discuss policy on trasngender players. Good luck with that


Wow, it’s Round 22 already.

 Derbies all happening on the east coast this weekend and another not quite straight forward round. Tips are not quite set in stone yet, here’s how they look.


Fuel

 Hi I have an 07 Yamaha 80 4 stroke this has probably been asked before but when I use my boat regularly I mix it up between low and high octane fuel haven't used my boat for 6  months or more longest ever I've been of the water anyway got all the old fuel out today and put in the mower and misses car Haa what are people putting in their 4stokes  and y or not thanks 


Sandilands to WCE 2019

 just heard rumour on radio about Aaron Sandilands to Eagles for 2019

only one thing to say

HahahahaHahahaha 

wait a sec one more thing to say

piss off freo, dispose of your own garbage

what a joke! unless you pay us double his salary and we’ll give him maybe 5 bucks a game and a bus fare but only if he ever gets on the park

 


W A farmers helping out

 Dont know the full story of it but heard on the radio that a bunch of trucks carrying a shit load of hay was heading east to help out the farmers that are drought affected. Good on em . aparently left the northam area this morning and covering about 3500klm . 

Hope good karma comes their way for helping those out in need


Farmers seem to be doing well

 Went for a drive from kalgoorlie to esperance today for work . Crops seem to be doing well. Hopefully they will get some bumper crops. The wheat is growing nicely and the cannola crops seem to be doing well.


Round 21, don’t forget your tips

 Couple of difficult ones again this weekend, looking to replicate the 9 again.


200 series landcruiser bull bar question

hi all
Looking at getting a bull bar for my 200 series (current shape) and wanted to know if anyone has a genuine toyo steel bar and has hit anything with it?
- reason for asking is - I can get a genuine toyota steel bar very cheap (long and boring story) but had a gen toyo alloy bar (different yes yes I know) on a 100 series I had about 10 years ago - I hit a roo on the coral bay road with it which I reckon would have at best pushed the plastic bumper back and maybe broken the grill - instead the whole thing folded back over the bonnet and headlights causing a lot of damage - translated the previous bars were spot welded cr@pola
Since then I have always had ARB bars and no doubt they are up at the top of the list in terms of quality but at ~$3500 wondering if it is worth the difference for me?
cheers


strong drink

 me and ex pilbara footy team mates / work mates get together for the G/F each year my place last year , muzzas this year , its my turn to supply the "suprise booze" this year 

Hoping some 1 in fw world has a dad or uncle that still makes their own slivoitz  or grappa and wouldnt mind parting with a liter or two , supplier will be compensated

 


Bit of swell and earthquake in bali

The swell has got nothing on what happpended last night - we were in a restaurant in the hotel and the whole place started shaking - sh1t was flying everywhere so we just ran - as I ran past the pool unnoticed there were waves in the pool (from the movement) ffff scary - had another week here but have been here 2 and decided to gtfo!



Gaff the grub

Well, it only takes one act to become a grub.

Fu* me, what a brain fade and an absolute showing of poor character.

Rub this grub out for the entire year.

An example needs to be made.

Unfortunately for Andrew Gaff your reputation is *ukd.


Engel fridge switching

 Not sure if there is a better place to post this so forgive me if its in the wtong place.

Does anyone on here fiddle around with electric switching or, know someone who does?

I have an old (~25yr) upright cabinet type 12/240v Engel fridge on the boat; about 80 litre I think.

Its a great fridge ( when working) but currently has an issue in the switching controls.

Had it looked at back a bit and the bloke rekoned new switch gear was about the 3/4 the price of a new fridge.

I dont want a new fridge, I just want my old one working again and I'm sure its not that difficult ( or expensive) to fix for someone who knows what they are doing with this type of electrics.

Am happy to pay a fair price for repairs but not that interested in almost paying the cost of a new fridge to repair my old one....if you know what I mean.

If anyone can help, please let me know.

Thanks folks


Bit of swell in Bali

Been well covered I know - over here for a few weeks to escape the winter chill and fk me some huge waves rolling through over the last week - staying in nusa dua - Uluwatu pumping too.
There were some workers doing something to this little temple in the pic - they scurried off about 20 minutes before I took this pic!


Stand up/ lean seats

 Anybody running a stand up seat for normal applications instead of its intended purpose?

 

Thinking about giving it a go in my 5.2 trendsetter as I rarely want to sit and conditions don't really allow it most of the time but was looking and putting them in on oceansouth waverider pedestals or manually adjusting pedestals just for the odd occasion you can sit in calm conditions

Round 20 - Derby not Darby

Unfortunately I think old mate Rolf will make this a scrappy, congested, low scoring game to avoid a blow out and cling onto his dwindling coaching career. I can see McLovin having an absolute field day with the Shocker’s inside entries but I don’t think ours will be too much better based on what I saw last week but having Shuey back will make a huge difference with delivery inside 50. I’d love to see Hutch go to Brayshaw for no other reason than to make sure he goes another week without a Rising Star nomination. West Coast by 30 and McLovin to take out the whatsyacallit medal.

Unc and BJ’s boys will be facing a fired up Sydney with their defenders falling like magpies. It’s only a matter of time before Buddy fires up so strap yourselves in.
 
Hawks and Essendon should also be a free scoring cracker and Hawks can all but claim a spot in the 8 with their superior percentage with a win. Gonna back the Hawks in a close one for MOTR.
