Good. I have already had two “I’ll hold it for a deposit” messages on other apps this year. Both vanished when I asked for a video walk-around in daylight.

QPWS the week you travel, not the week you daydream. I have been caught by a fire closure that was not on last month’s screenshot.

Highway tyres in the High Country after rain is how recovery threads get ugly. Glad you named it.

NSW: NPWS park alerts + Forestry if it is a state forest. I screenshot the alert with the date so I cannot gaslight myself later.

I missed a tired steering damper once. The desert told me immediately.

That matches the guides. I will buy the strap and the briefing before the bumper catalogue.

I write the compressor location too, because beach brain hides things.

Squelch so high you hear nothing is how convoys ghost each other. I will add a squelch check to the two-minute brief.

I dip for oncoming and for dust. The bar became a glare machine on corrugations until I aimed it at the job, not the sky.

Pattern: deployed, overseas, can’t video, just send a deposit. I asked for a daylight walk-around. Silence.

Jonah, NSW, stock-ish dual-cab. I owe a forest road a skills day instead of a winch daydream.

Writing that on a card. Paddock this month.
