The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!

Spent this weekend trenching the back yard and driveway, laying storm water pipes and putting the power through to the shed. Prefer to be camping though.
Tried out our annexe walls for the first time in the driveway at home. Not as hard as I thought it would be.
Managed to find some thing to distract me from more tiling on the bathroom Reno ....@Pace
Picked up a Weber Q 220, and gave it a workout on some ribeye steak..... Oh yeah!

Mate, I wouldve brought over the golden ale if l you knew you werent going to do so much work on the reno and enjoyed the cook up. Then we couldve thought up idea of how to get out of ''home chores'', together.
(Im night shift tonight, so no Mrs Pace looking over shoulder, LOL. Love you dear).
Pace.
Jeez, you like to live dangerously. Hope Mrs Pace doesn't run into Mrs XF any time soon!
I'm "Building In" my big WeberQ320 at the moment and spending plenty of time & $$$'s at Bunnings. Started to wearing one of those yellow and blue work shirts, so I 'd look like I know what I'm doing, but Bunnings bloke just looks at me like I probably stole the shirt.
All the posts about tiling jogged Mrs XF's memory and she found some tiles we bought about 10 years ago to do an outdoor kitchen thing...thanks guys!
I also put in a couple of steps from the deck for Mrs XF...the drop off was starting to hurt my knees.
Speaking of tiling, this was my first effort about 6 weeks ago!

Finally took the Expanda away for the weekend. The Navara Forum had their annual muster at Janowen 4WD Park, just up above Cunninghams Gap. Enjoyable weekend with a run along the Condamine River 14 crossings track. Due to lack of rain over the last 2 months the river was quite low and there was no challenge to any of the crossings but it was a fun run with a lunch stop at the Killarney Pub.
Back to camp where a gymkhana was organised. Not being in to vehicle destruction I was content to watch but no one broke their truck so was all good. Their were a number of attempts to climb some steep inclines right behind our campsite, some successful but quite a few did not make it, including a Patrol (not a member) who managed to bust a rear suspension component and a V8 Range Rover that was all noise and no guts.
Raining when we arrived Friday and it is just black soil country so, while there was no deep mud , the surface was as slippery as hell and I had to lock my hubs and use 4WD to park the van. Fined up Saturday and excellent weather for the rest of the weekend.
All in all, a great weekend, sitting around a campfire at night talking to a great bunch of people.

Someone tried to be a bit ambitious, had to be winched out

Funny, there were no Tojo's around anywhere. They were probably running the chicken tracks.
I just got back from Avalon Speedway to watch the opening round of sprint cars there for the season.
Plenty of action and a few rollovers to, I'll get some pics up tomorrow or should I say later today :ranger:

We had a great night last night at our local jayco dealer Watsons Caravans Coffs Harbour annual VIP dinner. Each year these guys put on a dinner and band with great lucky door prizes for customers that have brought a van from them in the past. As far we know they are the only jayco dealers to do this. Great food, entertainment and company.
