FeedMap

This is a very cool little website... FeedMap tries to map out other registered bloggers in your vicinity...

I found it to be quite scary how accurate it is... I put in the street name, suburb, and the maps nearly has the street itself in it!!!

It gives you some code to add to the side bar of your blog, which is over to the left... Pretty cool really... At this time, there are 50 registered bloggers in the area, which seems to have about a 50 km radius...

Let The Routing Begin

Last year, I got given a GMC 1250 Router for my birthday,

and although I've used it a couple of times, I've been a little hesitant about using it as a plunge router... Somehow it seems a little bit cumbersome (or is it that I'm un-coordinated) ? So, I resorted to Ebay to try and find a resonably priced Triton Router table, and Router Stand...

After patiently watching and waiting for a couple of months, I have finally found a Melbourne seller, selling the Triton RTA300, and RSA300 Router Table and Stand...



I picked it up from Rod, the seller, who, like most people I've bought from on Ebay seemed like a very nice bloke...

Now all I need is the WorkCentre 2000 and a saw, and I'm in business... :-)

Soon to be On The Road Again...

Thursday morning, and Katy, Emma and I will be off on another of Katy, Emma and Drew's Excellent Adventures, following the Melbourne Storm , this time to the Gold Coast, for their second trial game for the season. The boys are playing against the Brisbane Broncos, at Carrara, which is also known as the Gold Coast Stadium, where I saw my first ever game of League that was explained to me (by Katy)!!

The Offroadsubarus.com Marketing Campaign

Finally got around to putting one of the site stickers on the back of the car...



looks pretty good I think....

Bunyip State Park

Spent the day in the Bunyip State Park with the guys from http://www.offroadsubarus.com. Once again, the car performed admirably, chickened out on a couple of runs, as I wasn't sure the XT would be up to it.

This pic was taken on a slope the car would not go up any futher, lots of wheel spin... very deceptive how steep a hill can be, yet looks relatively flat...



Couldn't believe the dust that was coming out of the ventilation system as I head out of the forest, hot footing it back to Katy's for dinner. Hate to think what the air filter looks like, based on the crap coming through the ventilation...

Fiona and Wayne's Big Day

Today was Fiona and Wayne's Wedding. They were married at Red Hill Estate, in a relatively small reception, of only 50 or so people...



Katy and I took between us several hundred photo's, both before, as Fiona was getting ready







During the wedding,







Behind which the guests had a magnificent view of the Vineyards,







We also took a lot of photo's in the same context the professional Wayne and Fiona had hired was taking. Hopefully the photo's he was taking are better than ours, as we reckon our photo's are awfully good!!







Even the Vineyard ducks got in on the act during the photos







The meal at Max's Restaurant was superb, and most people had a bit of a dance before the night was over.

It's Ours, See? SOLD!!!

Trent and I went for a fish yesterday, and head down to Langwarrin after work, to meet Katy (and Cameron from Network 1) to put the SOLD sticker on the house.



After the application of the SOLD sticker, we met the current owners, Dave and Glenda, who seem pretty nice, had a drink, and then head back to the Gully to have dinner with Trently.



The fishing was pretty good also, once I remembered my drivers license and wallet that is. We got most of the way to the Cranbourne - Frankston Road, and then had to turn back to Malvern to get it.



We launched at Black Rock instead of Frankston, and spent a couple of very enjoyable hours chasing a school of salmon off Rickett's Point...
