Out & About in the "Alice"
Even though we're on holidays, it was time for a day of rest. After going over and seeing my mate Theo Van Lunatic, who kindly lent Jungle his pressure cleaner to get all the crap off my ute that he accumulated the previous day.
Highlight of the day for me, was visiting the Road Transport Hall Of Fame. Coming from a diesel fitters background, it was interesting to see heavy vehicles progress through time. I also worked out that I'm getting older, by the fact that I used to work on some of the exhibits, for the various people I was employed by.
Our brilliant hosts - Annie & Mugsy, fired up the BBQ and we were treated one of lifes simplest pleasures – a great feed with great company.
