You got any more info on that grader Squizzy, specs and what have you?

No but I can chase some info up on the company that built them here. Its likely Deas would know off the top of his head but the old fella is probably taking a Nanna nap after his big weekend.

Ok, and you use the burning malley root's to heat the pot, right??

That is correct Sir.....cept its not really a pot....a cast iron camp oven does the trick, and if it happens to be one of them ten thousand dollar chickens:rolleyes: you throw in a big can of apricots and cook for about 6 hours with the pot buried underground.

And if they ask me what it tasted like, I'll say "Just like an Eagle!"

You're better off saying it tastes like chicken.......then they won't know what it really is. :D

Although bigger trees caused them to weave around it could make a semblance of a track that trucks could bring fuel out to the Dozers when clearing began in earnst.

earnst? That'a about halfway between Dumbleyung and Moulyining, isn't it?

Gee..I missed this thread completely. Didn't take long for it to spiral out of control though:pointhead



"Once you drive grader, you'll never get a date later"........

Close...But it's "When you operate a grader you always get the ladies later":naughty



If it was a pink Frock they'd probably believe that

I seen this coming right from the first post. What kept you? :Banghead :)

This all sounds strangely familiar....but I thought grader drivers wore them there... "moo-moo's"?

This has to end the mystery behind the "stand-or-sit" debate right here and now...


What's a "frock"? A down under name for the same thing?:p

As you can plainly see after reading through the whole thread I tried to stop the others from sending it spiraling, but alas, my efforts were fruitless.;)

I thought up a whole bunch more, but will let it rest instead. Figured the grader jokes might start to wear off their funny on some soon.

Remember "Big load & haul" and that one trucker who eventually got a twist in his bra stap? (who dat be?):beatsme :eek:

I wouldn't want to see our grader guys getting all owlie too.:cool2
