  1. Living local is a different ball game mate.You can just walk down have a look and say bugger this I’m going back home or take your boat to the ramp and it’s packed and say the same. When it takes me 2hr drive or so return trip and money in fuel etc we go for at least 6hrs or more to make it worthwhile.We use to leave home at 5am and come home at 9-10pm back in the day and make a day of it. I can’t do that these days.
  2. I think so too.$10 a chair. The price is the best part.They are strong chairs.Should do us fine.
  3. Do you want a new wife? You’ll get along really well after reading your last comments.
  4. Me- A comfy chair, small tackle box with everything I need inside,net, bucket, food & drink, sunscreen, hat, insect repellant, esky and ice in car, maybe clothes in car too. Mrs- All the above plus her cats, dogs, horses, birds, extra food for 3 months for us and animals, 5 seater lounge, side by side fridge/freezer, oven, 12 different sets of clothes each to cover 4 seasons, her phone, computer and tv, 3 thermoses of coffee incase one leaks, 8 different boxes of munchies to pick,Wipes, paper towels and a block of toilet paper from Costco incase, croissants and muffins from Costco incase she gets peckish on drive home and her mum if she can fit in the car after I’ve packed everything else. What do you guys class as essentials when land based?
  5. I know I’ll feed them while sitting in it.Does that count or not really?
  6. Seen that one mate.Looks like a great chair.
  7. I saw those mate .I’ve been looking everywhere.Cheers.I’m 124kg of pure manly sexiness.😂😂
  8. I’ve had a few stacks over the years.Funniest chair incident I seen was the father in-laws chair collapse and he grabbed onto the table cloth at a family wedding dragging all the 💩 off the table onto the floor.😂😂
  9. Thanks for the replies guys I found some on fb marketplace local rated to 150kg.The green one has a 2 small cigarette burns (cosmetic).Other than that they are like brand new. Oztrail resort 5 is the model. I paid $20 for both and just cleaned them. They are like $75 each new so i call it a win. A very happy camper.Well fisherman or bait feeder hey @Yowie.😂😂
  10. Hi guys, any recommendations on fishing/camping chairs rated to at least 120-130kg no more than $50 each or so if possible. The lighter and easier to pack the better our old ones were like this but that was when we were all significantly lighter. cheers.

    Back in the late 70s early 80s they were around.Appin/MacArthur has gotten huge in the 40 odd years I’ve been here and not for the better like everywhere else mate there’s less bush, vacant land and even koalas.We get koalas.Lots more traffic, people, congestion in general and will only get worse everywhere.

    For me In short parents from Uruguay(Best soccer team and bbq in the world).I was .born there in 74, came to Oz in 7 when I was 2.5 yrs old. Lived in Hostel in Guildford /Yennora for a while until we rented a house in Yennora until we moved to Campbelltown in 79.Grew up in MacArthur my whole life basically until I left the family home and bought a house in 95. in 2001 we put our money together with family and bought 100 acres property in Appin and have all sorts of animals and horses. Waiting 10-15 yrs for developers as it will be worth enough for all of us to walk away with 10s of millions by the time I’m 60-65. We came to Australia with our suitcase and clothes on our backs. Uruguay to this day if you ask anyone that’s been will tell you it’s a poor country with genuine friendly people.

    You’re making money not losing it mate as you said.In a week or two once the deed is done you’ll be wondering what all the fuss was about. just make sure you understand 100% that the new house will NEVER replace the old house in terms of all the hard work put into it and what will become family history left behind on it.
  14. Agree with what you’re saying especially the $$$ to change over. I think you’ll find that your tilt tube is plugged and is the same.Not sure from the picture. My theory in relation to the tiller is if it can be put on in the first place….I promise you I’ll remove it. Noise? What?😂 We haven’t given the noise it makes a second thought since we’ve had it. It certainly wouldn’t be like a 4 stroke that’s for sure. These outboards will outlive humanity if you look after them. Very happy with the engine for what it is mate overall.
  15. I have the same motor in forward steer which is basically going to be the same thing for a side console. you’ll need the side console, helm, forward controls & cables, and steering cable and linkages. Where to get it all I don’t know but I do know looking at mine you don’t need to be a brain surgeon to put one on if you’re handy.

    I don’t have those issue mate.99% of the time it’s only me in pool or sometimes the mrs and I.Just the way I like it. I have an outdoor shower by the pool and when I mow and am boiling over I rinse of under shower and I’m in there. It’s the best.

    People that day pools are lots of work wouldn’t know hard work if it hit them on the clacker.Send them to me for a day and they’ll go home realising the rest of their life is a holiday camp.

    Your own pool at your own house leaves any beach for dead in my opinion.I’ve always had one and have one now.Nothing like putting your favourite tunes on or not and lying on your floaty watching the world go by.(I watch the birds and listen to their chirping and have slept out there many times). Everyone is different.I enjoy my own company and don’t like humans.Give me peace and animals any day over humans.😂😂

    That’s far from a downsize mate.😂Once it’s done you won’t look back. You don’t want to get to the stage my father in-law is at where he basically sits on the lounge watching tv 24/7 living in a house with lawns, gardens etc going to ruins and being a silly old bugger that won’t listen. He does nothing and everything’s gone to 💩. When the day comes I can’t mow my own lawns, tend to my gardens, maintain everything myself is the day I hang up the keys for ever without a second thought and I can tell you even at 49 it’s approaching very fast. I won’t let family, contractors, tradies, anyone do anything for me even if they did it for free as A it’s not right and B no one will do as good a job as I will. Look at it as turning another chapter in your life.

    Don’t blame you mate.Lower furniture by rope over balcony.

    I’m the same mate.Not interested in moving or even knowing anyone.We stick to close family and that’s it.Any neighbours in our lives get a quick wave/hi and that’s it. I reckon I’d need 5 life times to move all the 💩I’ve got and that’s just mowers and tools. I had one of the mrs friends over the other week to look at our pool and she looks up on the top tier of the yard and says “That’s a huge granny flat you guys put in”. I said that’s my shed and she nearly curled over.😂😂

    I’ll swap my hour drive for your 30 second walk if you’re not happy.We’re we all live there’s pros and cons for all of us.I can guarantee you guys have all the water views all around there but I can also guarantee none of you are on 100 acres like us too. pros and cons. Enjoy your new home and just tie the furniture to the dog to move it for you.😂
  23. Yes fully loaded and ready to go fishing as it sits on trailer in garage. I did my homework when I bought it and my criteria was Must fit in garage, weigh less than 600kg, unpainted, no bullshit on motor,etc,etc.
  24. Thank you.We enjoyed our time there.
  25. It sure was.Wasn’t expecting that to be honest.
