Townsville 6th June 2009

illywhacker is still a mess. The refrigeration repair became a major
rebuild with both the 12volt DC and the 240 volt AC system requiring new
condensors and a complete overhaul. I took the opportunity to utilise
the much greener, hydrocarbon style refrigerants too. A mate flew up
from Sydney to help with the installation of my newly electrified sheet
winches. I'm glad he did as it was a full week's work ... and I'm still
not finished. After he left I was exhausted physically and I felt lonely
and drained emotionally. In the past I always had Lyndall to call upon
to provide some common sense and direction. Without her guidance I just
felt a deep, deep emptiness which as usual was slowly mended with a few
tears. Will this be the pattern for the rest of my life?
