A couple of us guys are heading to the Casino next Wednesday night 14th Dec for Chops' Birthday bash and the weekly poker tournament. Anyone interested in coming?

Here's the rough deal - for more info Click Here

Basically you have to register (and pay I think) by next Monday/Tuesday (else it gets booked out), and it goes from 7pm till around 11pm Wednesday night. Basically it is about 60 people (or so I am led to believe), and if you finish in the top 10 you get your $75 back, and the prizes increase the higher you place. From memory the winner gets a bit over $1,000, and a $455 buy-in for 1st and 2nd place to a giant tournament in February.

Who's up for some no-limit Texas Hold'Em??

Worst case scenario is a couple of hours (if you're careful with your money) entertainment for $75. I believe you get 2,000 chips to bet with in the tournament, and they consolidate tables when people get knocked out. Most fun you can have with your clothes on, I reckon :P

yeah sorry to do it while you're away Batty - I am sure we will organise another night when u r in town. Cool, Ronan is pumped about seing U2 in action.

yeah I'm sure he is in no hurry to get the cash off you mate.

How's the weather in sunny Olympic Dam? Boiling at the moment, I bet!

Fyi Chops was out fairly early in the tournament tonight, a mate of his Ryan was out in about 40th place, I was out in about 28th place, and Burgers (another of Chops' mates) made it to about 18th place. Not too bad out of 70 players. Had a ball!

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
