I'm good mate. Been fairly quiet industrially, but now in Townsville foe 8 or so weeks doing a couple of turbine rebuilds. Apart from a flight acquired flu/virus thing - 10ft tall and bullet proof! (I think).

New layout does take some getting used to.
On the road again!
Side gate left open again!
Have one for my baby, and one more for the road!
In the desert again - and its rained! Heaps!

What a smart man you are!! I absolutely LOVE you suggestion to aid with my study! Oh.. I can't wait for the next day I can enjoy my bike out on the open road and come home for snuggles!
beezadave:
Regrettably, not that smart. Just done too many exams, and those I decided to 'let it be' on the day before seemed to work out better - and usually coincided with a 'new' rebuilt bike ride, a bundy or red, and I'll leave the rest to interpretation.
Good luck mate!
Good luck mate!
Home at last! 
Build an extension on the man cave, fix the pipework in the paddock(s), and build a caf racer for the wee microbe because she comes of age at the end of the year.
MMM - and perhaps a bit of teaching - just for the fun of it.
Yep - plans to start living again!

Add some wine tasting too! I'm no wine connoisseur but I love a glass of Shiraz or bottle. 
beezadave:
Absolutely
Engineering issues at work mean further delays! 
If I am lucky I'll be home in a week or so - just in time to go to Western Australia for another contract.
About 10 days (including weekends!) off this year - I need a break.
Bikes to build, plumbing to repair, dogs, cat, kids, wife and chooks (well not chooks
) to hug.
At the moment...

Missed out on cool and temperate Geelong - in happy Victoria sharing an ale with Anjave!
Nope - this little black duck is destined to spend his life in isolated desert locations ..... Week 2 @ Mt Isa 1000km from Townsville, over 1600km from Darwin.
Ce la vie home in 10 days!

a pot of amber or a mug of black gold and banter maybe.
beezadave:
A cunning plan my friend, so cunning, if you were to put ears on it, you could call it a 'fox'. From the 15th April, you're on!
Don't mind working in the middle of nowhere, but get mighty pissed off when they can't get my pay in on time, or right when they do pay me.
Dave could get ugly on this score!

To my eastern mates, hope the floaties are still good from 2010, looks like your in for a bitch of a flood season, and my southeastern mates, if a bushfire is coming your way - fucking run.
Those things are faster than floods, and floods don't have 'spot floods' behind you! Just fucking get out of there.
The Pilbara is hot, damned hot, but the cyclones have not been too much of a bother this season, so we're lucky so far.
Still, BHP are doing their best to change goal posts every few days of the job, so the bosses are like epileptic chooks every time the phone rings. Bring it on baby! Embrace change??? Embrace shear disorganisation!
Keep safe amigos!
