Beers are cold, cyclone number 9 - does this mean that you're full of **** and wind ?
Take care mate, I love the idea of using the ute as the brace for the garage door,

Good luck patchy, I hope you & your family get through undamaged.
Maybe you also need to tie your garage down to the F250 - the 3.8 ton anchor should stop the garage lifting off!
It's been raining down here for the last 2 weeks straight - I figure that ATM at least it's just like living in Qld and the rain is even warm.

Any way hope all is OK, I not looking forward to the mess when we get back in about ten days

Glad you had no disasters.
I hope you managed to keep all that rain outside your house.
