Mate, I'm a married man. What ever made you think I had any say in where we live.

I wanted Shoalwater Bay, near the "NEW" pub (like my sense of humour eh.)

MD wanted Mandurah so Mandurah it is.

Thanks Mate, I did mention to Whitey on my last trip to Jurien and he reckoned that unless you are fishing over 200 metres you don't need 2 speed. I think I agree.

You mentioned on a recent post but I can't find it, that you use, I think Corrosion x. Where do you get it, locally I hope.

Alan, I got the bearing packer kit for $5.50 postage, 6 months ago I received a Kindle from Amazon for $22.00 postage. Wanted to send the warranty one back and our Australia Post wouldn't accept it because it had a battery in it. Found another mob who wanted $146.00. Amazon told me to put it in the bin.

I will place an order shortly for some stuff that I want and I will include the TSI 301. Are you able to supply that little grease gun you use. The only ones I can track down here has the nozzle and the handle on the same side.

Many thanks to you and Wallace for the info.
