WAI4WD,
Yep, Danned yet again... In lockdown, we must stay within 5 km of home. Here is pics of my home on the Murray.  :laughing7: :laughing7:1 :hello2: ;D







Pics 3 and 4 (if there are any at all) are last nights home

Fair Dinkum; I'm rapidly heading towards being a computer nerd.... If you look closely at the (shitty...) pics above, you might see on the table a laptop!! (which is connected to the inverter which is being powered by the solar panels) This is an absolute first for us - travelling with a bloody computer AND being able to use it AND my phone to put posts n pics up here. Result of all of this - me spending hours on bloody devices while camped beside a river in beautiful bush instead of admiring the view and the serenity while drinking beer. Well past time I got off devices and into cans  :occasion14:

Cheers, Jack Nerd

The Sydney morons had their protest 3 weeks ago and we now have over 800 infections.
Yup. I reckon we're screwed too.

Mate, love it. Beautiful sunset you have there.

That is my missus and why I need a specific setup in the ute and camper for her use. If they made Starlink mobile, then we would have that too, as she wouild demand fast internet anywhere.

That is me. I'll be walking about or drinking or taking pics / video of whats happening around me.

Jack,

If not already, could turn the phone into a hotspot.

What sort of tub do you have on the back?
Ar work we have a holden colorado with an oppositelock tub and the side mirrors are just about useless.
Mentioned to the fleet guy to replace them with clearviews.

After the latest moron protest, you will be entering a new phase of lockdown in a couple of weeks.

The Sydney morons had their protest 3 weeks ago and we now have over 800 infections.

What is wrong with these people?
These people sincerely and correctly believe everyone has rights and freedoms.  However they fail to accept this also come with equal obligations and responsibilities.

Therefore it's an individual's right and freedom to choose not to be vaccinated and equally their obligation and responsibility to take actions (or not take actions) to protect the freedom and rights of others.

The current education system teaches children about their rights and freedoms.  Unfortunately nowhere near the same emphasis is placed on obligations and responsibilities.

Only reason we have the laptop with us for the first time is because Son nbr 2 (who calls me "Roadkill on the Information Highway") insisted that it was way past time I learnt put the smartarse phone on a lead so we could then use the laptop while camping. Good in theory but we don't often camp where there is ph reception (are today; won't be tomorrow...).
He wants to encourage me to use this shite more often/extensively. Until now, I've been content using the phone to get weather forecasts, emails, text messages etc. To go any further involves typing and reading what's on the screen - both of these actions difficult for a half-blind old fart with fat mangled fingers and a tiny screen phone. I have used this as an excuse to not reply to the kids requests while camping. Son nbr 2 not happy with my ignoring his requests for assistance while away, hence his tutorial on tying the ph to the bloody laptop, and why tomorrow we're shifting camp (still on the Murray) to where there are even fewer people and NO ph reception  :laughing7:.
Still have to use the ph if I want to post a pic though, don't know how to take pic with ph but post with laptop...

And there is no 'tub' on the ute; it's an AWL fibreglass canopy with integrated alloy tray. The stock mirrors are OK (just). Have fitted rearview camera, and canopy has front and rear windows so inside rv mirror still works well.

Got to get off this bloody device now as the scones are about to come out of the camp oven, homemade plum jam, whipped cream ready, and billy boiled.  :occasion14:

Cheers, Jack

Just plain awesome Jack  :cup:
Hope you both enjoy the serenity and tranquility while camping.

Please tolerate my pitiful efforts at posting....
Now trying to take pictures with the bloody tablet and then post from it. New and difficult confusing ground for an old techtard. Until now, this tablet was used solely for navigation and mounted permanently on dash.


Ready to add homemade plum jam and freshly whipped cream for morning tea. Geez, I hate roughing it... ;D

Where is the fishing gear?

yvesjv,
Most would agree with you, but we have been spoiled having almost unlimited supplies of no cost salt water seafood. Consequently, we are not particularly enamoured with fresh water fish. Also, as a recently retired pro fisherman, I'd rather sit on the riverbank and drink beer!
Cheers, Jack
