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

Pockey :Blow

He is full of cheek and cheer to!
-
Looking good Tipsy. Keep them coming.
-
Hi Tipsy. Nice to see you getting settled in your new surroundings.
-
Well done Tipsy. You're an inspiration. It was gr8 meeting u at Ebor. Hope u settle in without 2 many complications. Try my challenge m8 - I bet you'd come up with a classic!
-
good luck :rockon
-
Good on ya Tipsy. Looks great... can't wait for the video of the Still for the moonlshine
-
Good luck if your new adventure Tipsy.
I think you should get your own thread dedicated to "Tales of the Tara Tart Tipsy" .
Cheers
Dave
-
Thanks for the vids Tipsy. It makes me think that you should be renamed to Gypsy Tipsy.
I'm still more than a bit jealous, you lucky bugger!
-
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
-
Well we have Tispy staying the night with us again, he has been out in the bush for a month now, he has lost 5 belt notches, he is looking the fittest, happiest and cheekiest i have seen him in a year or two! it is bloody good stuff!
-
Good onya Tipsy Mate..... :thumb
-
i know this is probably a silly question, but with our mate now being 5 miles past the outer edge of Jupiter, does he actually have Internet access and can he still get onto the website??
Tipsy...are you there mate????
:crazy :crazy
-
At last report, he was having brekky with Streak n Teela

: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...
-
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.
-
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!!)
-
Tipsy also comes from the country now, so talk a bit slower :beer

Country slow is better than what comes out of Canberra of late! :rofl :rofl :crackup :crackup
-
And you have to speak the country lingo to, he may not understand what your saying.
Cooee Tipsy.
-
I think you will find that none of the politicians are actually in Canberra at the moment. Queensland, NSW, Victoria etc are where they all are, and where most of them come from :Whipped In Canberra we just have to put up with them sometimes :||||

The sad thing is I read that at my full reading speed, and it made sense
-
Well tipsy has been in to visit me, hot and flustered, he needed a drink and so did Rhonda after getting stuck coming up the range...

OK, I can see where you refuel Tipsy.
And Rhonda drinks through the right fairing pocket??

Well i had an unexpected visitor this afternoon! a man so skinny i barely recognized him, he is 14 Kilo's lighter, he is the one and only Tipsy!

good to hear |-i he is alive and well :runyay

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.
Good onya Tipsy... That was a decent look storm...

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
-
Tipsy you sound so very happy and healthy :thumbsup
The white wine you bought in was just devine :-++
Look after yourself young man
Pockey :KissBlow
-
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.
-
:wht11 py
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...
Tipsy
-
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.
Pockey :Blow
-
That would be absolutely fantastic.
:Chocies
Tipsy
Send to Streak.
It woul be much easier.
-
Sorted Tipsy....will send you a LG 550 phone, 12v & 240 V charger, Broom stick 6 dbi gain antenna and a antenna to phone patch lead....get it off to Streak on Monday.
:beer
-
Well Tipsy appeared today to say hello and pick up hydration products from the shop, and he said bring your Camera!
so check this out, a trailer with a Dog hatch built onto it
(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!
(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/2013-11-12120634_zpsa3bb435a.jpg)
-
Hope it's not too hot inside.great to have a traveling companion
-
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!!!
:rockon :rockon
-
:wht11 py
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.
-
Hey Biggles, maybe it's Charlee??? My granddaughter is named Charlee..
-
What a great little trailer Tipsy :thumbsup......your an ideas man :-++
:beer
-
I hope Charlie doesn't mind the fumes from the back of the bike. Then there is the petrol smell as well.
-
:hatwave
-
You cant Keep a good one legged Tipsy down, American police mount shotguns on the back of the bike, tipsy mounts crutches!

-
It just goes to show you just can't keep a good man down :grin
-
Keep the tubes for golf clubs when those knees get fixed, Tipsy.
-

-
Out in the country some rifle/shotgun holders can be quite handy.
-

:OldMan
-
Needs a safety strap to stop the crutches falling out when he does those high power take off/wheelie thingies..
:grin :grin
-

Coming to on the ground and not knowing how or why can scare the crap out of one.
And I am not as brave as I thunk I was ...so hence the move
Tipsy

Hey Tipsy, are you gunna go to the quack and get it checked out? Might pay to, that sort of thing needs to be checked out.
-

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
-
I wish you well tipsy with your relocation ,yer mate get checked out not knowing is far worse than knowing.take care.
