Thoughtful.

The smokers may have been thinking of the poor rubbish bin 5 metres away from this plant on the footpath outside the pub. If they had gone to the effort of using the bin then it may have overflowed from the load.

I may have to edit this, perusing it I notice that I've used 'smokers' and 'thinking' in the same sentence, although in reality they do think....of themselves.

These brackets must rust on all cars.

Tru's radiator mount brackets were rusty, just like Derry before her.
Anyway in the usual non-pretty Jimmy fashion I tidied/uglied them up this morning.

It isn't pretty,

But this hack has got the cruise control functioning again.
The switch came out of an old cdrom drive that was in February's flood.

This I don't like.

Sorry Tru but your tyres and possibly wheels too have to go.
Definitely not my style, Jimmy will have to find an adrenaline ridden person with stock wheels and tyres who may be interested in a swap.

Just message me if by chance there's someone within a couple of hundred kilometres of Ingham who fancies some Reggie Racer type wheels.

What's this? a green engine!

Sure to make the greenies go a bit longer without a haircut and do a doubler on that green stuff they puff. Tru runs on LPG which they perceive as a green gas even though it's about the same as any other fuel, only cheaper here.
It has a rather large double tank in the rear with a 116 litre capacity that gives a very useful range, something like 900 km before having to top up.

Now I'm waiting for a call from Hank Hill to invite me over to Arlen, Texas so he can drool over it.

Jimmy has a new toy.

Grace is happy too, she doesn't have to climb as high.
Derry is gone and we hope someone else enjoys it as much as we did.
I have named her 'Tru' as she's truly a true-blue Ford.

A rare sight.

You don't often see any work done on the canefield behind us, so I took the opportunity to snap this bit of spraying the other day.
