Heya folks

Around this time of year I head to Moonta bay caravan park for a nice drive, some fishing, bbq and general relaxation...

Was wondering if any of u guys would like to join me? I haven't got a specific date or time in mind, nothing concrete, but I reckon if we have a few folks go down for the weekend we can have a bit of fun. Boozing, Poker, fun with the ocean and the ubiquitous bbq roasting of meats....

I'd aim for a long weekend... but would probably call it on the sunday, so we can drive home before the blitz, as well as getting monday to recover at home...

Anything goes really

So what say ye?

-D

*EDIT

Can get yourselves Tents with or without power and cabins, or you can take your own campervan/trailer tent/caravan.... the rates are pretty good, seen here at http://www.adelaidecaravanpark.com.au/mta-tariffs.asp

Its not for everyone I'll have to admit, but the 2 hr drive there and back is quite cruisy, and given the right time, u can bag a load of crabs or fish or squid... or just go swimming :)

Yep yep, and then there is that nice nice carpark near the jetty, with that cafe that makes the most pimp pizzas in the region...

I usually take an esky full of beverages, an esky full of foods/bbq meat and one to put the fishing catch into :)

Car fridges come in very handy at that place.. I just wish they had a bonfire. Theres nothing better than having a communal bonfire with marshmallows, sausages, baked taters and all the rest that goes with it *wink*

hey i live in kadina, 7 min drive from moonta, i shld see yas down there n introduce myself if yas end up goin, let ya know some of the locals, chicks included.

thanks :rofl: that'd be cool... im hoping to do it in 2-3 weekends time depending on my work schedule, but i'll definately let u know when i down... pm me yr details mate :/

-D

well id be interested thats if its not a boys only thing being organised cause there is a few chicks on here that would want to come

Yeah everyones welcome. Pretty much just rock up and do your own thing :D As long as people take care of their own accomodation/groups then it should be an easy thing to do. I got a mate coming with me in the GTR and we'll get a cabin to share, tho the tent spots are quite nice too (on the beachfront) so really all depends on how much you want to rough it... and if we wanna take some photos, the carpark near the jetty is a good place for us to show our wares

-D

Edit ; And while I say 'do yer own thing' I'd definately have a couple communal things planned like a sunday bbq (good facilities there) and possibly pizza at the bayside cafe, in addition to hanging out on the jetty and having a few drinks while happily depleting the blue crab/squid/whiting population

sounds like fun!

so long as its not the april anzac day long weekend id be up for it. also got a surfing trip on some time soon down the midcoast so hopefully it wont collide with that either.

Yeah I'm not thinking that far ahead, I had Adelaide Cup weekend in mind, or Easter weekend.... try to hold it while the seasons are still nice...

Adelaide Cup is a fortnight from now, so its short notice but its my preferred time to do this. Would u guys need more notice? I personally wont stay the sunday night, but friday and sat.... I use monday to recover hehe (and theres also a meet on cup day iirc about the new track iirc)

-D

Adelaide cup weekend is SAU dyno day weekend 8th of march with the Adelaide motor Complex march on monday 10th

Ok I'll scratch that then, what about the easter weekend? 3 public holidays during that time, so provided nobody has any religious obligations, should be able to do? (its in 4 weeks time)

-D

EDIT Was also planning a BBQ on the Sunday arvo, so would be great to have people who only wanted to make it a day trip to come along aswell...

EDIT2: If you're coming up during the night time, the only other thing worth mentioning is there arent any after hours places to get food, so you'll have to bring some along with you until you either catch some fish or go shopping at the local supermarket ;P Last time I went up there, we hit the jetty, got rather drunk and couldnt find any place to get food after 10pm... so we were in a poor state the next morning when we had bacon and eggs at the local deli ...

Edited by Dohmar

the only thing open after 10 is in kadina and thats bp, i also think on a saturday nite subway in kadina's open until 11, but then again, its still a 10 min drive to kadina. When your round the place, and wana say go for a drive to kadina, dont use the kadina-moonta road as it has roadworks, go to kadina via wallaroo.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
