Having returned last night from the Birdsville Track, I thought today would be an average day just cleaning up. How things change.
The day started with a phone call from my brother. He was having IT issues at his office after the storm that came through Blackwood on Saturday morning. His modem had fried and the network wasn’t working like it should. A new modem and a few tweaks to the network and he was up and running.
Next was a trip to Adelaide for the regular Geocaching Pub Lunch at the Marble Bar. A lot of the regulars including some others that had returned from the Birdsville Track wetting the appetite of more 4WDers wanting to make the trek. There were also a few new faces today.
Around to the car wash to wash off the Birdsville Track mud and coffee, then back up to Blackwood to collect today’s pathtags from the post-box. Across the road from the post office was Hello Chinese Massage – why not!
Home with a clean 4WD, hang up the wet tents (we had some rain on the Birdsville Track which made the going fun) and then Molly the Dog went barking mad. It seems she found a couple of “friends” up in the spa rafters. See the last photo.
With the mud now off, it was time to check out the damage – final count – one new tyre, cracked windscreen and broken muffler. š
