So do them..
If you want some light reading my doc reckons I have this.
https://www.disabled-world.com/disab...chnoiditis.php
Along with being left with a ruptured disc since 2000, also a cause. I have all of the broad symptoms and, according to medical studies from the Christchurch Medical School, the majority of the usual causes.
Yeah, I buggered mine second year at high school. By the time the doc was convinced (5 years on) there was a problem there were 5 damaged discs and I could barely walk.
Good thing is that when I can do things I do do things that I can. Vibration from knobbly tyres on the wagon seems to ease things a bit. Boats, powered or paddled, don't require too much movement, and if one leg in particular gives up I can just lean against the side (great way to hide it ;)). I can brace against the sides to lower the stress on the back too so can haul in a line OK. Arms still work.
As I said here - its a strange one - still undecided with 3-4 days out
Unusual not to be more accurate on these
12 hours ago it was all on for TOTS - now showing its all off ????
Must have a female name - ah or maybe it's an undecided Gender with a "secret agenda" there lies the problem

At present ..like right now windy is saying Saturday SE 4knots...10 ks and then swinging tho the north 5knots about 2 pm which would suit a haul through to the pass and fish kingi's and cod in the pass or head up the eastern side of Durville ...
NOW I'm sure this will change !! So I would really like those who are going to invest serious $$$ in fuel and time to get here to to be sure that they know this weekend is a lottery! It could go epic and we get a window of weather or it could go shithouse and we have road closures and slips etc after this dry spell. Which may well mean we are stuck at okiwi or your bunking at mine in Nelson!
Just be sure you know what your getting into please! We can always do an April weekend or just next year ...I just don't want anyone to be dissapointed or put out ....We will be doing this again next year so if you uming and erring save your pennies and come next time would be my advice!
Keep us posted nearer the day. Wouldn't be leaving till mid afternoon on Friday due to someone being at school. If you can guarantee an electrical storm thrown in we won't even use petroleum based fuel to get there, a harness hooked up between the wagon and TR would be all that is required.
I had to chuckle after posting that NZ Hearld article this morning
Saw another link to the approaching Cyclone just after after that one
"we will have better accuracy to its intended path end of week" like - when it arrives we will tell you or if it goes into Aussie will let you know its missed us :thumbsup: :D
Will do GM!
I somehow don't think we'd ever run out of tales.
Oh, and @TimeRider has finally said yes to attending this year.
Sorry I'm out, my partner has double booked the Friday off, he gets priority as he's 65 lol, my boats in 1000 pieces and won't be back together, and I am fukin flat out this week, I could leave late Friday but prob won't, abit pissed as I really enjoyed the Toby shoot

Hang on @stingray, You better get this weather sorted out... I have given the boy the day off school on Friday, I have fixed up the long line for the kayak shiny new buoys too. I even went and bought a roof rack to get the Yak to Okiwi. Now you tell us you can't guarantee the weather for the weekend? geeze what a blimin tease.
Plan for Thursday evening... Get tucker bait n beer.. Hockey at 630..get goalies details see if hes any good.. Leave pack truck head to okiwi by say 830pm ....now if any nelsonite wants to travel ahead pick up the keys from my pad / Lisa...
Stage one complete... Friday well see who is about will stash house keys for travellers go for a quick fish welcome guests.. Wind should ease go fishing or set jako traps and enjoy a beer. Welcome rest of members drink water plan Saturdays adventure... Any questions.. Sunday looks mint Saturday mixed bag morning rough easing on the afty..honestly I know we will see fish caught how good buggered if I know... @gadgetman your yak is tucked away safe as... come for pickup as and when you want.. Will update forecast as they go to shit or not
We are hoping to head off mid morning Friday. Pm heading your way for an address.
Beer, must get some beer.
I’ve just back to civilisation after a week down the Sounds and had a blast , great weather , plenty of fish and numerous Possums feel to the mighty Ruger .22
Hope the weather holds for you guys this weekend, fingers crossed .
This morning forecast Saturday average Sunday screaming southerly ...less than ideal
Friday looks gusty ..if we can punch out to the islands we can shelter there or up squally, Saturday improves throughout the day with the wind swinging from northeast to a southerly ...which Sunday picks up to a semi gale ..perfect! ..I'm packing beer tucker surfcasters and even a few warm cloths.
If your coming fishing best stop at your local fish shop and grab some for the trip home ...if your coming for yarns beer sight seeing and loosing gear surfcasting ...well you will be well pleased with this event!
Just had a confab with Pengy ( who would know more about the sea than than "Mr Penguin" aye ) and with the forecast looking so shit I've decided to bail sorry boys, I just rang up & got my flights refunded so there's nearly $400 plus spending money back in me pocket.
Murphies law alright, but have fun guys & I'll rain check in for the next one, Chur
I reckon the wind there will not be to bad on the Sunday and Sat looking great
Hope we get a bit of damp tomorrow - but it looking like you aint going to breaking no Droughts after all
So d'Urville Sat and inner/closer Okiwi Sunday (presuming you going to same place )
Have a great trip guys , hope weather holds .
Think im gunna stay at home too guys, shattered.
Hope you fellas have a great weekend and the fish are biting and the beers flowing [emoji106]
