No Harv there was bacon eggs sourdough bread and coffee the way things ought to be
Oil pressure issue continues to concern me - at idle the oil light is on pretty much every time but once going its fine apparently-
Back in Kalgoorlie tonight- took the ute back to where I got it from 21 years ago

Been there once during a 44 hour train trip sit up class. Must have been 1985 or so. I remember the train stopping long enough for us to go down to Hay Street and taunt the ladies of the red lit verandahs.

Very tame compared to what it used to be Greg, we left Kal this morning at 7:30, got into Mundrabilla at 5 local time (Central Western time)
Did 853 or so km on 91 litres of juice so 10.68 or so per 100km
