    Default first SWMBO smuggle

    OK. I was the bloke who bought that Triton on Ebay with the Hitachi saw. If I was ripped off, I don't want to know. OK? I was happy.

    Tomorrow I shall be mounting an illegal operation which has been in the planning phase for a while.

    OPERATION ORANGE Mk3

    MISSION

    To recover said bench and saw (attached) to shed (garage).
    To recover said bench and saw (attached) to shed (garage).

    EXECUTION

    Phase 1

    I shall be leaving under cover of darkness in the ute but instead of driving down to the station I will be going all the way in to the city and thence to work. A refuel stop will also be necessary - remember boys: Proper Prevention and Prior Preparation Prevent -Poor Performance - I should have filled up today

    Phase 2

    I shall leave early and head north-east into the suburbs where I will exchange the money and take delivery before driving home.

    Phase 3

    The bench will sit in the shed right infront of the recent wood delivery so I will need to keep splitting and maintaining the wood supply to the front door with no letup until I have the space to move it behind the wood pile. (Yes I want to build a wood shed) I have no idea how to load the bench clandestinely in to the shed as Chief's car is always infront...I will leave this in the lap of the Gods. I will probably go outside to move the car under some guise or 'split some wood'.

    EQUIPMENT

    Ute tarp, tie-down straps. Straps to be tested and oiled first.
    Cash from ATM to be ready.
    Melways on hand.

    SERVICE SUPPORT

    There will be none. I'm on my own.

    COMMS

    The only comms necessary will be to maintain silence about the whole affair until such time as I deem I can go public. "Oh babes - that sawbench I bought months ago..you know the one I told you about - might make that bookcase for the little 'un".

    Any gaps?

    Hope the minister for finance doesnt discover the covert operation, as future tool budgets might be affected

    Fortunately I am the minister for Finance. And I'm the one who budgets like mad. Hyprocrite is the word I'm looking for.

    Luckily I have been talking about various projects and was even asked today, "when are you going to start?"

    A mate who is always skint bought another motorbike today. 250 bucks is not going to look bad compared to that, I'm telling myself.

    Ah a true covert tool operative.

    consider Big Dave's operation.
    He baught a bobcat...... took swmbo a fortnight to find out.
    He scraped the driveway on day 3.
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    Last night in Melbourne, a rogue ham operator thought he heard the terse snippet through the ether.
