    Another day, another dollar. Ah well, here we go again. There have probably been a thousand adages written to describe the hum-drum of tedium but none say it just right. What's the old fool on about now? I'll tell you, it's all about this mag and the never-ending effort that goes into it. Over a period of some 35 years and 600 plus editions of the Communicator, we have never missed a month, although a couple have gone out after the due date so in an effort to solve that, I start putting the next one out within days of posting the last.. What happens of course, is no time between mags for anything new or noteworthy to happen and the writers are scratching heads trying to come up with something worth reading. When that happens, you get a ½ page of this dribble and hopefully something noteworthy follows. Sorry to disappoint, but it's more doom and gloom, a couple of our mates have been off on trip in their motor- home and were on their way home when I got a phone call to say that one didn't make it. She died peacefully in her sleep, which is probably the only consolation, because I doubt if my mate is going to forget that holiday for awhile. Elsewhere in the Mag, is a statement from Ian Kakoschke from the Clare Motor cycle club, who spoke about the cancelling of the Beryl Pease Trial and the reasons why. It seems, at short notice, there are too many factors that must coincide and in this case, getting property owners, emergency services, controllers, ACRM and council permission to agree on a new date was going to be very hard. Many of you already voiced concerns about availability on whichever new date they picked. Over the course of the last month, Clare has come up often but I'm not sure if it ever got into the Communicator – so here goes. It was to have been on the17th September and would, this year, start from the Old Farrell Flat Golf Club. As you will read later, the Beryl Pearse road trial has been cancelled for 2016. Another Ride we have been asked to do is at Starkeys on the 3rd-4th Sept. Hopefully run & won by the time this is read and I can talk about it next month. Sometimes waiting to the last minute pays off, we have just had word that the 2016 Beryl Pearse trial has been canned for good this year. We can only hope it’s not so wet next year. It’s nice to know that brain wins over brawn and with the injuries already sustained by riders at some of the previous rides, I think it was an obviously good choice. Although the Clare Trial has usually been an easy ride from our point of view, it is certainly a challenge for the riders and with it starting from Farrell Flat, taking in some new ground, I guess common sense prevailed.

    PRESSIE’S PRATTLE; Phil 48:

    RALLY ROUND-UP; Trev 120:

  • ________________________________________________________________________ 26/09/2016 The Communicator, Copyright. © ACRM SA Inc. Page 4

    .on 3rd- I touched on the things that went awry at the Rocky creek ride last month but didn't get through them all, one was quite strange, in that I'd just sat down in the loo when I realised I was getting wet, okay fellas, mind out of the gutter, it was rain coming in a missing vent cover in the loo roof. Our resident technician,48, went to repair a coax connection, only to find he had not a skerrick of resin cored solder left in his kit, so with a bit of cohersion he managed to fix it with a modified crimp plug. On the way to the ride, we got a call from John 232, to say he had just pulled number one out of a bog and within a few moments, another call to say number two, followed in quick succession with three and four. It was very remindful of a while back when we would roll up to a ride in the beast and immediately get a barrage of requests to un-bog a collection of cars and floats. It was not unlike standing in a queue, ticket in hand waiting to be served in a supermarket. A bit later on it was Phil's turn to do a recovery, but easy it was. Dick 21 was sure he'd need a pull out of his checkpoint's location at the end of his shift so when he called; Phil drove around to his control to find Dick had hooked up his tow strap and walked the tow end out to the road ready for him. He drove in a bit further and turned around so he was in the direction of tow when he got back to Dick, meaning he never had to get out of the car and being a long tow strap he stayed on the track for good traction, making it an easy extraction. I'm slowly getting through the list of mishaps. The next comes under natural disasters and it was the torrential rain. It was okay in the van or anywhere else out of the elements but I pitied the riders and some of the monitors out on the checkpoints. Despite the inclement weather, the riders and our people on the checkpoints, enjoyed the ride and hailed it a success. Gale-force winds had been predicted but luckily, never eventuated. One more mishap occurred when John was walking back to his car and went A over T on a muddy slope. Phil took the new blue generator to that ride, as it was working well after Brenton 166 serviced it but he had the normal problem of not being able to start it. Knowing it had to be something he was doing, he persevered and found a second on/off switch he'd missed the first time. Now with it purring away sweetly, the caravan was on power and the ride, well underway. Blue is 3.2 KVA, which is a bit less than the old Red one at 4.3 KVA so Phil was curious to see if it would run the air conditioner, No it didn't, so his curiosity shifted to the Red one at home and was dead keen to try it once home. Success, the extra KVA made the difference.

    TREASURE TROVE; Chris 49:

  • _________________________________________________________________________Page 5 The Communicator, Copyright. © ACRM SA Inc

    One thing that freaked us out was when cooking some crumpets; a smoke alarm went off with a deafening series of beeps that scared us out of our wits. What idiot fits a smoke detector in a caravan? Albeit, at the opposite end of the van to the stove. The next thing to go amiss was when hooking up to go home. The D-Max is fitted with one of those 7-pin flat trailer sockets and uses an adaptor to suit the standard 7 pin round plug and when we arrived Phil put it somewhere but somewhere wasn't where it normally lived, so we decided to crawl home and take a chance, a choice I was not happy about so I rang John to see if he got home okay after banging his scone in the tumble and while talking to him enquired if he saw where Phil stuck it, ”On a hook in the boot,” said John . One piece of news from that weekend came from America, where a couple of our riders were over competing in the Tevis Cup, described to me as multiply the Quilty by 10 and that is close to how hard it is. Julie White and Rose Ross were over there for the ride and being a flash upbeat mob, by wearing transponders a live update was available on the net for all to see and at one stage both were doing really well. Rose was vetted out right at the end and Julie came ninth. If you have access to the net, try You tube for the Tevis, There are a couple to choose from, 2010 and 2014. I think you will be amazed at the countryside and how rough it is. The similarity in buckles is uncanny, both portray a horse with the words 100 Miles, 1 Day on it, which is probably the only similarity to each other. Congratulations go to them both. Evidently the motto is “To complete the Tevis is to win.” It’s been a busy couple of weeks. My Social Calendar (Diary) has been going overtime sending me off in different directions doing things, some for myself but mostly for others. Two weeks ago I had three shifts at the local Visitor Centre, 2 doctor’s appointments, one meeting and a footy match where I had to do the Time Keeping. Last week I achieved a day off before working at the local Museum, then three days driving to Port Lincoln and back for an ex staff Reunion Lunch then 2 footy matches one for time keeping, the other as goal umpire. So this week started with a heap of health checks starting at 8am and going right through to 5.30 before driving home for dinner (and a rest) More doctors appointments this morning followed by housekeeping and car washing, tomorrow and Friday at the Museum, visit my wife’s grave Saturday (6 years since she passed away), off to a theatre for a play and then the visitor centre on Sunday.

    I must be going bad, I just realised I have a day off on Thursday. That is, until Phil reminded me it was mag time again. I’m not looking at next week!!!

    As of October the 10th, the ACRM Box number address will be PO Box 69, Munno Para, SA 5115. No, we haven’t changed Post Office. The Post Office has changed location, again. Once we have changed all our stationary (third time), the change will be complete. The next Communicator will reflect the changes. In a way the change is welcomed, the old Smithfield address has been a constant source of misdirection. There is a Smithfield and a Smithfied Plains, both with the Post Code 5114

    Bit’s and Pieces, by Phil 48 I briefly touched on starting this mag immediately after the last mag went out and the problems that is caused because of it. However, the mag was only started early but not sent early, thus it is now the normal time to put it together and in fact, it crept up on me again. Chris happened to mention this morning, “the meeting is next week, we have to get that mag out before the end of this week. I was sure I’d started it and a quick check, proved that correct but it was far from complete so I have a chance to bring you up to date on some of the month’s happenings, including what has kept me busy. Since getting the new caravan, I’ve had numerous goes at putting 12 volts through it and fitting a radio and antenna. Twice it got to the point where it was packed and used with a battery on the floor and radio on the table because it was easier than completing the fit out. One event was Mallala, which, if you remember, was run on hand-helds because the repeater was only 10 metres from the caravan. Not any more, although it took a few days, the van is nearly finished. Ironically, the rush to finish it was spurred on by the looming Clare trial, that was scheduled for the 17th Sept and while the planning for that coincided with the improvements to the van we also had to find a day to go up and test the Clare course. Fortunately, or unfortunately, weather put the Kybosh on the event and we are waiting for a reschedule date, make that were waiting, it has now been cancelled for good this year. I said fortunately, because it gave me the extra time to play with the caravan, but unfortunately because we still have to go through it all again and with all the maps printed and people chosen, we can only hope that everyone is still available when the next date is chosen, which was to be within the next 2 -3 weeks. Our man on the ground, Graham 80 was not surprised at the decision, having witnessed firsthand, how wet it was up there. Not only did I do more to the van, I’m actually ahead and can devote some time to this mag, the change of pace is very welcome. Why is it that, just when you think you are ahead, the mind goes blank and any fluency in writing just stops. Oh well, tea time, let’s see if things flow again later? Sorry, tea didn’t help, not on the idea front anyway; however, I was reminded that I still have other articles to include.

    Unfortunately this is going to turn out to be a whinge and it really shouldn’t because on-the-whole the Starkey’s 2 ride was a treat to be part of and the weather had let up for long enough so it was not too wet underfoot. In fact it can be best described as a nice little holiday in the forest. Admittedly, it got somewhat cold during the early hours after sundown but it did give me an excuse to use the red genny. Tracy organised a catering van this time, a mother & daughter combo, I think called Gypsy Girls, who put on quite a nice spread. Whinge 1 was upon arrival, the catering van was parked across the area that had been set aside for us and with the new van being a wee bit bigger than the old girl, it took a bit of jostling to finally get into position and set up ready for the ride. Second whinge, I dragged out the computer ready to setup the ride and the software has crashed, something else to look at later, I’ve a hunch what has gone wrong but no time now to fix it now so a manual ride was set up. Sunday’s first horses away was to be 6am, which meant arise at 4:30am ready to be on air at 5:00am. This meant early to bed so I turned off the generator around 9:30pm and hit the sack. The next whine came Sunday morning when we got word that someone had complained about the generators running all night. Yep, generators, plural. There was actually only one, it belonged to the caterers, who I assume had to keep refrigerators and other essential items running. My next whinge is to do with the same thing. Why would someone deliberately set up camp next to a constant noise unless it was to give themselves something to moan about. It’s quite surprising how many times ACRM has been wrongly blamed for noise, an early event was at a scout hike at Chalks, in the forest. It may have been funny if it wasn’t for the fact that we were in bed, with fingers in our ears, trying to sleep through the racket as well.

    Reprinted from SART Championship website. To all competitors and everyone else involved in the running of The Beryl Pearse Reliability Trial, The Clare Motorcycle Club wish to announce that the Beryl Pearse Reliability Trial for 2016 has been cancelled. This was decided by the organisers and club members at a special meeting held Tuesday night. It was agreed unanimously that the dates available, the emergency services personnel, catering, time keepers, officials, land owners, council and the WEATHER were unlikely to line up at any one date for the event to run successfully. We apologise to all entrants and others involved and wish to inform that all written entries will have their cheques posted back and PayPal entries will be refunded by the end of the week. (We still have some outgoings even when an event is cancelled, so any donations e.g., your entry would be gratefully acknowledged and accepted.)

    1. My reality check bounced. 2. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key. 3. I don’t suffer from stress. I am a carrier. 4. You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. 5. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy and

    taste good with sauce. 6. Everybody is somebody else’s weirdo. 7. Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level, then beat you

    with experience. 8. A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt. 9. Don’t be irreplaceable- if you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. 10. After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month

    than you did before. 11. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get. 12. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard. 13. Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will

    happen to you the rest of the day. 14. If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would get done. 15. When you don’t know what to do, walk fast and look worried. 16. Following the rules will get the job done. 17. When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by

    reducing it to the question: How would the Lone Ranger handle this?”

    A Sunday school teacher asked her class, "What was Jesus' mother's name?" One child answered, "Mary." The teacher then asked, "Yes and who knows what his father’s name was?" After a little silence, a kid answered, "Verge." Confused, but curious, the teacher asked, "Where did you get that?" The kid said, "Well, you know, they are always talking about Verge n' Mary.
