http://lifeinfnq.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. When we left off last time, we had the bullbar painted and ready to be fitted. Before it could go on, though, a lot of stuff had to come off! We backed the Pathfinder into the rear of the carport, and set to work. One last look at the factory bumper:. Looking through the bumper, we could see the final bolts that we'd need to get to:. So - Step 1. But it's not good for it and could easily break things. Once he's undone, store him somewhere safe.

Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. O'Brian's Creek Gemfields - Mt Surprise. Another long weekend, another couple of days away from home! The location was definitely a bit different to what we've had the last few times, and it wasn't long until the heat (42 degrees at midday) and the dust and dirt combined to make Jess pretty miserable and wanting to just pack up and go home! That afternoon we took a drive down to the creek, which is where all the fossicking action happens:. They even...

Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Sunday, October 25, 2009. OK - here we go! This has been going on for a little while as a secret black-ops project on a strictly need-to-know basis, but it's starting to come together, so it's time to unveil it to the world! Justin from the PCOA forum and I have been working on a solution to the dual battery problem with Pathfinders. Most people with Pathfinders either:. Use the Pirana tray to mount a second battery under the bonnet next to the main, or. So - what to do?

Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Wednesday, January 14, 2009. This weekend, Cairns had a bit of rain. We had the monsoon trough come down through us, heading south. We had a low to the east. We had the remnants of TC Charlotte to the west, moving towards us. Couple that with a 3.4m king tide at 10am, and things got a bit damp. Cairns is set up to drain really well, with large flood drains throughout the city. However, with the king tide, the water from the bay was actually flooding back into the drain s...

Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Monday, March 15, 2010. PROJECT - 4WD Shower System. This is a work in progress so far, but I thought I'd throw up what I've done up to now. I had decided to use a Glind. Unit as they're a local QLD based company, and others have had very good experience with them. There are other options that are very similar - Twine. Every now and then you kick a goal! 2 days later, the big box arrived at home:. We wired in a switch for the pump. A few days mucking around with the welder y...

Life in FNQ - Matto & Jess: August 2009
http://lifeinfnq.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. So I went to the dentist yesterday again. This time they wanted to fill a tooth that they'd noticed the previous fortnight when extracting the broken wisdom tooth (which has healed fine, thanks for asking). Since it was the one next to the now-ex-wisdom tooth, it was pretty important that nothing bad happen to it. Or so I'm told. But even knowing all that, I'm still not looking forward to the wisdom teeth surgery. Sunday, August 2, 2009. On Sunday ...

Life in FNQ - Matto and Jess. Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Where T = Wisdom Teeth. 3hrs later, and the injections are starting to wear off. Correspondingly, it's starting to hurt. It's still bleeding - more than I would have thought it should. The good news is that I need to go back in a week or two to have some cavities filled. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. V8 Supercars at the Townsville 400. We had three day Grandstand tickets, and headed down early on Thursday morning to beat the crowds. Tuesday, July 7, 2009.
