A Tipsy Update!
« 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



and with some team work we have uploaded the 1st series of videos of Tipsy's adventures, so here goes!

Leaving For Tara and Tipsy's new home!



Dropped into See streak along the way



Arrived at my new home just outside of Tara 7.30pm (the noise is a Generator in the back ground)



Breakfast Time on my first morning!



Second night getting settled in, listing a few of the jobs i have done about the place



and home sweet home, the place is taking shape faster every day


I am lost and haves gone to find myself
Now If I get back before I return
Please ask me to wait.

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

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????

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!!)

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  :||||
