Yep as expected, the bean counters are playing "ducks and drakes" with the intending purchase of the CP. I guess in these times of a tight monetary market, it is to be expected, however we (me and the bride) leaves us a bit up in the air, until all these financial matters are sorted out, if at all.
So what does that mean to us........just a waiting game in the very short term. The intended new owners have got basically until Friday to get the finances sorted out, then we will make a decision on our movements.
Well an up date on the RetroLiner. The door is on, the Coleman HWD is in and wired up. The CD/Radio is all completed, and the wheel arch is boxed in and the re-silicon job on the bottom part of the pop top is now completed. Hopefully this week the new lights will be fitted. The new chairs look sensational, and the round table just fits the bill near perfectly. Sure I still need to work through how to secure the chairs when traveling, and as the table is not secured either, I have found a home for that while traveling, so no biggy there.
Just before we move on I will have to get the new VAST box for the satellite system and the Pure Sine Wave Inverter. The hard wiring is a bit of an issue at the moment, however I will bring that job out of the to hard basket shortly and think that on through. Gave the Genny (Honda 2KVA) a work over the other day, to re charge the house battery. So with Solar and the Genny power is all good!!!!
Still have some little things to do to completely finish the refurb...........but is it ever finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bride will detail the inside, and then a new job for the boy here, paint the ceiling of the pop top. I just hate painting, as paint and I do not get on. Then its a big wash and polish for the RetroLiner, plus the Val as well. Don't know if I will get the painted strip done, that is way off the radar right now.
The sign writer is making a banner for the bride "Wendy's Caravan Of Hair" for her to do mobile hairdressing, plus we have up dated our web site www.hostsontherun.com.au, made new business cards, and have put together a marketing campaign for when we are on the road, should we want to go back into some sort of hospitality workings.
Today I am exactly 3 months short of 65, and that means Centrelink is sending me the "Magna Carta" of forms, so I can apply for the "old age pension". Kripppppppppies that's scary, but I have been working full time for fifty years, so now it is my time to be supported.
Actually Centrelink encourage one to keep on doing some part time work, and their thresh hold of what you can earn outside the pension is fairly liberal for government standards, however as soon as the Bride just earns just $1......bingo 50 cents of every dollar gets cut from the pension. So there is absolutely no incentive for her to work......so we are still thinking that one through.
So we are getting close, to what, I am not to sure. We still could be "outahere", mid November, so we are gearing up for that still to happen. If it all goes pear shaped, we will have to re-evaluate how the last couple of months of 2011, will be executed while at the CP.
Stay tooooooooooned!

G'day again. I know how plans can be and have learned to set them in jelly. Fingers crossed the bean counters sort things out and you can hit the road sooner rather than later. In a conversation with the co-pilot last night we agreed she will hand in her notice so her last work day is 27th November and we can be on the road the next day. WooHoo. Might even be able to catch up with you on the road as we both head south. Cheers
Hey Frankie
Waiting, waiting, waiting...still no word. Today Friday 28th, could be a deciding factor and to lay some plans in concrete. Till then stay toooooooned.
