John, when I read out your 100m+ delivery plan, my wife, Chris, (after laughing) just called you a "pussy" (with a derogatory tone)
Good luck with the minister!

Lynn and Chris,

I would prefer the term "Tactical with minimal casualties".

Actually in all fairness, Toni will probably just shrug her shoulders and go "OK". This can be a dangerous (and expensive) thing when the Minister is too agreeable.

Nice find. I found one being used as a hay frame in a paddock and Robert P now has it.

My Minister of Finance and Horizontal Affairs has said that I can have as many vehicles as I want so long as they are all under cover. I then asked what the catch was and she replied" But your not having any more sheds"!
Guess I'll have to go two up from now on.

Yes. it is sad what they ended up being used for at times. Sometimes to the point of being a total wright-off unfortunately.

And giving your dilemma some consideration Yes you could aways go up, as extending a shed upward or outward is not technically speaking, having any more sheds, just larger existing sheds.

My minister of War, Finance, and Correctional Services is happy for me to have my toys, as long as she can have some.

I'm slowly getting her used to the idea of the 1940 Chev. "Think how much more enjoyable it'll be to go on a Sunday drive in an Army staff car, rather than the truck? You can ride in the same comfort that generals enjoyed!"

I think she's amused by the whole process. This is a good thing!

Cheers,
Matt

Yeah, a staff car would be nice and probably more comfortable, but the trucks are a heck of a lot of fun.

Cheers.
