Title: A Tipsy Update!
Post by: Tipsy on August 24, 2013, 08:39:44 PM
Well I would like to update everyone that I am alive and well! I am staying the night in town to sort out a few jobs, and as Streak offered previously I can use the spare room anytime (it is also ozstoc shop central, so I will should sleep very well)

Here is a photo of us all having dinner, Cooked by Streak and Teela with the kids running about

Thanks for the vids Tipsy. It makes me think that you should be renamed to Gypsy Tipsy.

Definitely a project you got there Tipsy.  I gather by your comments about finding out if things work that you bought the lot as a going concern.

A couple of weeks and it will be a great set up.  Already quite a few comforts in place.   :thumbsup

 :crazy :crazy

Not at the moment, he has been getting updates when he has stayed here

I am helping him get a Pre paid wireless hotspot device from Telstra that will work out there with his android tablet, so that he can plug himself in again, he might not be here every day, but he is not far away at all, I am making sure of that...
Title: Re: A Tipsy Update!
Post by: Biggles on September 01, 2013, 12:16:42 PM
The hotspot phone link is a great way to go.  A bit slow, but the amount of data you can get these days for reasonable money make it very viable.
Title: Re: A Tipsy Update!
Post by: Whizz on September 01, 2013, 02:52:43 PM
Hmmm, I thought there was a problem, greenery and trees etc are very pretty and nice to live in but serve absolutely nothing towards high levels of Internet access, and the 'phone' was actually invented for talking through, so the actual information transmission speed is so slow that it would be quicker to watch paint dry. I hope he gets a way of communicating with us that is somewhat quicker that snail-mail!!  :rockon :rockon

Thinking of you Tipsy!!! (I'm shouting so he can hear me!!)

How's Tipsy's knees holding out Streak. Just thinking the weight loss will good but the uneven ground out there might be a touch painful at times.

Let him know Sabie said a big hello.

Glad to hear he's keeping his spirits up.

He is moving better than anytime I have known him, so he must be doing some thing right  :thumb

He does have some service out there so hopefully he can answer your question better than me  :grin

Certainly a storm you wouldn't want to ride through.

The site looks like you're getting it into shape.  Rhonda would be begging for a roof, I'd reckon, and I gather that's in the plan.
I trust you're getting enough rain to fill your tanks.  With over 60% of Queensland in drought, Tara would be in the dry area, I'd think.

Thanks Pockey for that "Young" bit... and I feel it to trouble is when going anywhere is a problem as me clothes keep falling off.
On the farm it no problem.... o:)
How is that hubby of yours coming along with that antenna booster fo ttttelstra .
Just got prepaid sim and still no signal. Internet only woks with a little antenna.
Phone is a Nokia N8  8gig. With no connection for a airial connection...

So just to be clear Tipsy, your ok for Internet coverage with little antenna to your tablet, it's phone coverage you seek ??

Will get Chris onto it, he's a freak at that radio, Phones and aerials stuff  :nahnah


He tells me he may send you out another mobile phone with a cradle for it and a aerial to mount to something, just need to put your sim in this phone when on the farm.

Well Tipsy appeared today to say hello and pick up hydration products from the shop, and he said bring your Camera!

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/2013-11-12120717_zps63314be3.jpg)

There is even a little perspex window for "Charlie" to see out of, i was highly impressed!

Mate, am I impressed with your dog bike??? I sure am!! He looks to be most comfortable and getting a great view of the world!!  Enjoy your riding, you sure look like you are enjoying it more, no crutches plonked over your shoulders whilst you ride. I promise you that I never got over seeing you rock up in the carpark bit at the back of the Esk cafe with your two crutches across you back...bloody amazing!!!

Just to make it clear to all, Charlie is a lady dog that no one wanted after her owner passed.
A 2yr old that is very well trained.

Charlie looks like a real beauty- will make a great companion.  Obviously her full name is Charlene.  It think the trailer will be very well ventilated while moving, so heat won't be a problem.

Reminds of the Ebor, NSW Christmas in July ride last year when I met Tipsy. Enjoyed his sense of humour and hilarious comments about his experiences.
On the next morning when we were all packing to go, Tipsy needed a jump start coz Rhonda was hung over. While this was being organised I decided to tell Tipsy my MC Viagra joke:

"Eh, Tipsy have u got your Viagra m8?"
"No m8, don't need that stuff"
"I don't mean u m8, I mean the bike, put it into the tank and the bike will stay vertical - guaranteed!"

I not sure I delivered the punch line that clearly at the time but that was the gist of it.


Anyway, it was an experience meeting u Tipsy and I'm glad u're looking so fit. Keep it UP!  :p
