What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Went for a bit of a drive in the country again yesterday. 450km later.
Down around the Scenic Rim area, dirt roads and NP tracks from Boonah to Killarney in the rain (nice and muddy), tried to do the Condamine Gorge road (13 creek crossings, easy driving but through a very pretty gorge) but they’d closed it. Hasn’t been enough rain to have the crossings at a metre or anything silly, but the problem is people try to do it in urban SUVs when the creeks are low so they close it even when there’s only 400-500mm over deeper ones. In fairness there was some very heavy rain an hour or two later which may have lifted the levels much higher for a while so better safe than sorry I guess.
Anyway, a beer and a feed at the Killarney pub, then home via back roads to Cunningham Gap and easy highway drive home. A good day out, particularly since I took mum with us to give her a day out (we lost my old man to dementia just before Christmas).
Now the grenny needs a tub sometime today I suppose.

That's a nice drive @bigleonski . We planned to go to Queen Mary Falls and Brown's Falls last Friday to see how much water is running. Other life events scuttled the plan so we didn't go. Another day.

Yeah that happens. As you said - another weekend.
As usual, didn’t see another grenny all day. Until we got back to dropping mum home and pulled up very briefly beside a queens red trayback cab chassis at Northgate. Now that looked awesome. I can’t say I’m a fan of queens red in the wagon, but this with the alloy tray on the back looked grouse!

My roof rack mounted scene lights are great. But strong... And I share the 10A circuit with my starlink. So I wanted to have a switch for the scene lights and while I was at it I wanted a switch with a dimmer.

I hunted for one for a while and I found one from a marine supply shop. It's a touch switch and dimmer, suitable for outdoors use on boats...

Got it and made a bracket for it so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Circuit unpowered, button is the aluminum piece on the bracket I made (also out of aluminum).

Circuit has power, button has a light blue halo glow.

One touch and it is full brightness.

Touch and hold and it dims.
I connected both side lights to this button

. The rear trunk lightbar (a stedi bar) has its own button. I'm going to post pics on that install tomorrow.

I need to tuck away the wires a bit better, but that's for tomorrow.
