Frankie Duke.

He woke me up this morning with talk of making a pirate ship in the backyard. I'm thinking, How the hell are we going to do that? So i tell him that we don't have the materials, but he reminds we have a hammer and a drill and there are some bits of wood next to the shed.

Later that afternoon I'm working inthe garden, and FD wants to make the pirate ship. I keep working and he gets the 7 or 8 bits of wood, arranges them around the wheel barrow, then shows me his "ship", complete with imaginary water. He's a happy pirate.

This is a shot of our attempt to push the CMC tour bus out of the bog at the Gympie Muster.

It rained non-stop for 36 hours, then off & on for another 24. Of course, when we departed, it was sunny and beautiful, but it took us 2 hours to escape the mud.
