Time to head to the creek at the farm and play with a few of the presents.
Got a nice little tackle box from the daughter that is just perfect for holding F5 size rapala lures that are my favorite for trout when wandering the creek. Fits 4 F5's 4 F3's or spinners a few swivels hooks and sinkers if I feel the need to drown some worms and still fit comfortably in a pocket.
Wife has been wanting a standup paddle board for a while that we gave her yesterday so she is keen to try it out.
I have been building a slip on camper for the back of my ute (pickup) slow going as I have been at it for 18 months. Family all chipped in for Christmas and I got the clamshell roof top tent I have been wanting. I have the slip on unit to the stage I can give it a bit of a test run to see if I am happy with how I have things set up before fitting the tent.
Tray height is about 3'4" which meant by the time I built a kitchen and mount it looking at a cooking height of around 4'6" workable for me at 6'2" but not really for the wife at 5'6". Swing out or slide out dont really improve things so have modified a slide to a drop down arrangement that gives a working height of about 3'6". Worse with the fridge as it is nearly 2" tall and top opening so it was a lucky dip as to what my wife pulled out. It to has been installed on a slide out drop down arrangement.
Have some nice cold beers in the fridge, left overs from yesterday and ready for a relaxing day by the creek
