So after a few trips away, and not being able to lock things in the back, and having committed to a light bar on my roof racks (which means I can’t carry my snow board 😒), I finally caved to installing a hard lid.
I mean, I always wanted one, I just didn’t want to pay Ute Master prices.
So, I designed and built my own hard lid.

A trip to bush in the new GWM Cannon showed up some need for better lighting 💡.
I arrived in the bush with Matt at a bit passed midnight; Matt had bought a spotlight with him, but I wanted something more permanent.
So a trip to Super Cheap Auto , and I’m undertaking a new project!
Let’s install a light bar on the GWM Cannon.

The all new GWM Cannon ( Poer / Pao / P-Series / Ute ) has a terrible sound system. I mean, I guess if you’re buying a truck, good sounds aren’t the most important thing?!?
But it is important to me! Y’know … doof doof!

The all new GWM Cannon ( Poer / Pao / P-Series ) gets a 4x4 work out this weekend.
So much fun, and a little challenging for my first time out in the truck.

Time for a big long walk in the bush. There’s been lots of things on my mind recently (I crashed my car 😢, I’m out of work again 😢), plus I needed some time out of the hustle and the bustle.
So I planned a trip out in the bush; the Waitawheta track again !

So another Summer begining, and another trip to Waitawheta 🤣
It seems to be the place I go .. and yeah I love it there. It’s close by, it’s quiet bush, it’s got a cool river …

So, 2020 (a lot of thanks to Covid-19 or Corona virus) has been mental still. it doesn’t seem to be ending 😭 !
So today I thought I’d write about some things.

Mix that with leaving Helen Willard (I wonder if she’ll change her name back to Helen Donnison or Helen Conlon ?), so far this has been a year of SERIOUS personal growth, counselling, self analysis .. a lot of focus on myself.
So today I thought I’d write about some things.

Ok, so this year has seen some changes. Most notably the change of address as a result of leaving my wife last year. But some things, like the desire for a super chill living room, never changes.

Crikey, 6 months since my last blog entry. Lots has happened, let’s start with the new toy.
Introducing Ila, my new Sea Nymph 14’6 boat!
