Just got the booking reservation & "you must pay" form laugh from Orange River rafting Lodge in Vioolsdrif !

So I'm off there in December Yaaaaaaaaaaaay

Blooming reasonable R2250 for 10 days --- not too shabby

Plan to base there & go and see Richter's

Oh----- and Scuffy is welcome - I'll need to give her a haircut ----------

Now I sort of  plan to sort of go from JHB along the border-------- IE JHB / Vryburg / Van Zylerus  / Rietfontein Upington/  Pofadder / Springbok  /Vioolsdrif <or something like that-----------

But who knows with me anything's possable ------------- Anyhow planning to give myself 4 days to get there and 4 days back just for fun

Sleeping along the road -----------

Showering next to the bus in my shorts -----------

Lots of roadside stops for snacks ETC <like that>

En somme baai kyk-n-bietjie-hier en kyk-n-bietjie-daar

Some thoughts that are running around in my head--- Thinking about taking my river rafting canoe with ---it's  class 5 river rapid rated --- quite a serious piece of gear actually

And beef up the fishing tackle NE!

Anhow you can google the place, looks heel rustig & nice

Been asking around about a suspicion I had about turning the header of the intake the other way round, and the jury is out.

Yes it will create vortexes that will inhibit the flow of air into the intake

Finally got down to the last thing --- kos ---- food --- provisions ----

But this time I'm planning things a little differently

Instead of planning 4 or 5 different "meals", then just repeating them for the number of days I'm away, this time I put together a meat list first then planned what to go with the meat

So I put together a meat list, gave it to Pedro (butchery) and am planning what to have with the meat --- GREAT! he will vaccuum pack all individually

I can collect on Saturday

Here is my meat list ------- Plan on using my Cobb to roast my pork belly ---- Yummmmm 

Description

QNT

Comments

 

 

All packs for one person vacuum packed

Lean mince packs +- R50 - 60  per pack

7

no styerene tray / pat flat & vaccuume pack

Tenderised steak

3

Reasonably thick to braai without getting dry

Pork chops with the rind

3

Reasonably thick to braai without getting dry

Rump

4

Reasonably thick to braai without getting dry

Cubed steak pieces

3

For stew

Pork ribs

Portion pork belly

1

 

Braai pack (1) Steak / pork chop / worse

3

 

Braai pack (2) (different from (1) - surprise me)

3

 

Braai pack (2) (different from (1 & 2 ) - surprise me)

3

             

TOTAL

32

 

Needed

23

 

Shortfall

-9

 

 The mince packs are for Spagettie bol / Cottage pie / Curry-mince - I keep a little left over mince to have with Brunch : Fried eggs & a slice of tomato / toast / and some mince ---- I remember posting in reply regards a toast rack that stops the "gas" smell getting into the bread BTW

Thanks Wessels / Willem & Sleep for your well wishes, I certainly will do my best laugh Unfortunately, these days it's not up to me --- It's up to Mnr. Oveload Siyaya angry

But no matter, May you,  and everyone else and your families have a blessed December

REGARDS

Warren, good idea to cover the front facing air-intake with something  -  what about ladies' pantyhose ?  Will certainly attract interesting comments.

Ek het eenkeer deur 'n swerm sprinkane gery en die kar se radiator was verstop van springkane wat eers afgeborsel moes word.  Daar is juis 'n sprinkaan plaag in daardie geweste waar jy gaan ry.

As ek Warren se spyskaart reg lees kort hy nog 9 etes? Dan kan die sprinkane handig te pas kom. Geroosterde sprinkane op roosterbrood met tamatiesous, sprinkaan bredie, sprinkaan sosaties, sprinkaan omelet, sprinkaan patee op rooster brood en gedroogde sprinkane om saam te vat as hy gaan roei. Hulle kan selfs vir aas gebruik word!

Enjoy your trip Warren!

Chris, el lees dit weer anders, hy het 23 nodig en laat maak 32 so hy het 9 te veel ?  Maar soos jy sê die sprinkaan plaag kan hy tot sy voordeel gebruik. yeswink

Panty-hose ---- Mmmmm the right material ---- But where-oh-where to get a pair ---

See I ain’t going to rush off to pep and buy a pair ---------- No siree not me

And, well as I’m “unattached”  makes that a bit of a problem indeed !

Yes, a locust swarm is one hell of a story, (been-there-done-that) and if you aren’t aware of the clogging of the radiator, could leave you stranded on the side of the road with an overheated engine....

BTW If you do have an overheat, never pour cold water just into the system --- It’s this that causes more of the damage (cracked heads) than just the overheat – which most engines can tolerate a short overheat

Wait at least a half hour before attempting to open the system – be very careful when doing that use a big towel over the cap

When it’s open and stopped bubbling --- start the engine and on idle, bietjie bietjie pour cold water in this would be your best chance of salvaging the situation

MEALS: - Yes you got it, I’ve over catered by +- 30 % -- Why well I have the amazing ability to have a heck of a lot of unplanned journeys with some very surprising destinations, so Just in case I land up in Windhoek I can still eat ---

Very important --- eating that is--------  Unplanned journeys? Oh hell been on so many of those already

Yes I plan to use my Cobb

And my small 1 person skottle

And my army 2 plate stove

And my flat-pack braai

And my Trangia with a spirit burner & a canister upgrade ----

And if the weather is rainy my butaine stove

All else failing, I’ll dig a Dakota firepit

OR – Just use their supplied braai !
