Most of the mechanicals on Madam Plush are now completed, including, new brakes, new steering balljoints, full service, Aussie-sized seatbelts, new drive belts [including alternator belts, air-conitioning belts, and power steering belts], and I’m just waiting on comparatively minor repairs to the awning and dunny.
No, I can’t tell you how much it has cost to date. I’m too scared to add it all up.
I was looking forward to a highway trip and a basic overnighter sometime this week as a shakeup cruise, but looking at the seven-day forecast I’ve had a sudden change of heart.

Can you blame me?
