sorry about no blog for a while..

 well..there just hasn't been time for me to do anything, and not many events..even our Texas reporter hasn't had much for a week or two..I had to make a trip to Newcastle and back last week...just finished a four day 'helping with the grandkids", and so many other things to eat into my time..but..lots of events coming up soon...

Les sent this copy of an old add.....cool!

so..reminder..this coming weekend, the 3 and 4th June is the annual Hot Rod show, so I planned to have my coffee morning on the Sunday, just in case any of our out of town friends want to come down for the coffee on the Sunday morning, then leave to see the show...7am at Victoria Point Lakeside shops..

Then...your choice..go to the show Saturday, or make a day of it on the Sunday..

Free Add, 'cause I'm impressed!!.. talking to some locals lately about their aches and pains..and I have just changed to a new clinic, in our local area, at Redland Bay...and..I am impressed..Dannielle Medhurst is very good..she has been treating my son, and my wife..and I finally took the plunge..very, very good, in my eyes..maybe worth a trip to try out the services..07-3829 2496..tell her I sent you!

so..following week are all the big events..the annual run to Cooloongatta for the COOLY ROCKS On event..just as big as ever, but...

same weekend, but up the North Coast at Caloundra, and the ASRF have their 3rd running of the DOWNUNDER BEACHFEST...very succesful event..I usually manage to go to both of these, a day at each..but as well....

yep..same weekend..the biggest drag meet in Australia, and this year, the 50th Anniversary of the WINTERNATIONALS..I will go to this as well...

 back at home, still trying to clean up my workshop, and find out parts I don't really need, and move them on..still have Wallys plates..someone make an offer so I can give the money to Barbara..

 sorting out my own parts..i'm sure we all collect way too many parts..

 bought 4 flatheads over the last few years..only need one..the rest are going!

 I did shout myself a new 4 post hoist a week ago...took me two days to get it assembled, but how good is it..best $3450 I spent in a while..just need a Lotto win to pay for it..lol.

and remember I said I had bought a HR wagon and gave it to my grandson...(he's only 6 )..well, my son Dan wants to get the HR on the hoist so we can start working out what we need to find for the rebuild..let me know if you have ant HR parts available..

I managed to buy a down-on-it's-luck Commodore last week..(see, this is where my time goes..)..get it home and it has a good running 202 and trimatic that will be perfect for the HR..but now, I have to get it in the workshop and strip it out...time just blows away lately...

and so, the poor ol' coupe project gets a back seat to all the other priorities in my life...looks like the finish date won't be Yamba this year....maybe next...
