Ch 18 working bee.
Today we had a group of dedicated ch 18 members at my place for a working bee on the cat gen set.
To me this has been a great day. Although I was constantly harassed with where is this where is that . A service was done on the engine and other adjustments were made by a group of dedicated volunteers.
While QLD Has been in drought for a long time. Rain over the last 2 days made things difficult to say the least. With boggy conditions and light rain through the day making conditions difficult.
The service on the engine was done in readiness for the TADDOMS rally at Oakey in 2 weeks time.
A sausage sizzle lunch was enjoyed by all with great camaraderie.
I wish to thank all that attended.
I certainly had a great day and hope others attending did also and arrived home safely.
Thanks for the inputs by everybody.
A. K.

Hi, Andrew.
Good stuff. Thanks for the update. I'm happy that all went well. I can imagine that 2 days of fairly steady rain would make it risky to venture 'off the beaten track' around your way. I planned on being there today but woke up this morning still out-barking the neighbour's dog and with a chest still full of phlegm that I've been trying to get rid of for a week.

And it's still showering down here but apparently not getting much past Ipswich at the moment.

Just my 0.02.

Hi Andrew, My muffs and Multi-meter. You better bring them to Tadoms, probably need them there. In the meantime I'll use cotton wool and guess the rest.


The day was great, many heads together sorting and fixing, the rain was great even though!

Thank you Andrew for the use of the workshop.
