Day 123 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

One of the few weekends that the Maddens have at home, they are usually off racing.

Off the Bunnings to get a new toilet for the house and some fittings for Sean bus. Then on to Harvey Normans for a fridge for the bus.

Back home to watch the Grand Final, a draw what an anticlimax.

Day 122 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Nola and Trevor arrived today. Even though we had given them detailed maps we were still waiting for a phone call. Next thing I look up and Trevor was walking up the drive. Had no trouble at all. Got them settled in and it is starting to look like a caravan park at the Maddens.

Unfortunately today I had another episode with my heart we tried all the tricks they had told me about like cold water, hot drink etc, but I had to take a pill. Gerald had to ring the hospital to find out how long I had to wail till it took effect. (with the injection it worked within seconds when it worked) but the pill can take up to two hours and it was almost that long

Brandon was suppose to be riding down in Newcastle for the Aussie Champ, but with a broken wrist that was out. To stop his being bored at home he went down with his Uncle Joel and his son Jessie. Jessie rides in a younger class.

Nothing for us just a day at home.

Day 120 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

My Turbo oven I got the fan stopped working it last night. So we went to Browns Plains and back to a Good Guys store and they replaced it for me. The Maddens had given me a book voucher for Christmas but it was for QBD and we don't have them in Tassie so I was able to get and up dated version of our Qld book and a couple of others.

Day 119 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Gerald had read in the Wanderer that there was a Truck Whisper in Jimboomba and he made an appointment to take the bus down to him today. He had only had it a short time and he rang to say come and get it he may have found the problem. The problem we have had all last year with the shuddering in the steering. He seem to think that it was the steering pump. Gerald rang Winnebago and they put him on to Dominic in Sydney and he said he wanted pics of the pump emailed to him. Sean got the pump out and we took the pics and email them.

Meanwhile I went over to Jimboomba to have my nail done and the lady there said her daughter has had the same problem with her heart as I have had and the name of the syndrome is Wolff Parkinson White and we looked it up on the comp and it was spot on.

Day 118 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

It has been raining on and off all weekend so Sean is home from work "wet days".

We went up to Browns Plains and got some plumbing for Sean bus. Home and worked on the bus.

Day 117 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

There was suppose to be races at Stanmore, but it rained all night so we thought they would be cancelled and Jake went out to a party when we got home last night. But they only got a few drops at Stanmore any way Jake was a bit "tired".

So a nothing day just with family.
