Damn, not sure quite what to think about your last! Ah well, what the hell... push comes to shove, I'll make them pay for it in '09...

I'm still chasing down the host people on this, will advise soonest. I'll have an alternate setup with Keefy just in case they don't get this fixed until tomorrow day when I'm at work.

I would have like to have seen you lot this year, but next at least I'll be a little wiser! I can't say older, because I'm actually regressing....

There are many people to laugh about - not just you. There were a number of incidents that occurred last year and Keith was in the right place at the right time. One of these was with Bay Kelly - who should receive the award for the biggest burnout.

Default Corowa 08

Well ladies and gentlemen, Corowa has been approx 27-32 degrees Celsius for the past week and next week looks to be more of the same. The nights have been getting down to single digit temps though so some may want to pack a set of the flanellette PJs.
The nights are on the most side quite mild.
If we are lucky, we may even see a cloud, although it is doubtful of containing any rain.....

Default Getting Ready

Not many sleep's now!!

The rego requirements were dealt with yesterday, the tandem trailer was brought home and serviced, the jeep has been checked over, the Bren carrier is fuelled up and the Stuart just needs a wash, and Ohh 200 litres of Premium petrol!!
Monday being a long weekend in Victoria everything is going to get loaded, so hopefully the convey can leave here some time next Wednesday.

It is shaping up to be a big event. The local area has been publicising the activities with articles in the local papers and radio interviews. Thanks must go to Major Graham Docksey, Ian Pullen and the Bandiana Army Museum for allowing their vehicles to be photographed.

I have had numerous phone calls from people wanting to know more about the event. Apparently all the motels are now booked out too.

Damn, you said that deliberately, didn't you...

Toronto is in the middle of a giant BLIZZARD right now!

BTW, all the docs are uploaded to the server now at http://www.corowaswim-in.org and the TMP Docs are upcoming NLT 1000 tomorrow Oz-time...
