Thanks for the update Harry, I am very relaxed about the whole thing so will go with the flow. If all else fails we could simply have a a pie, a pint and a good natter. I haven’t been to Tekapo for five decades but still have fond memories of digging a bunker in the snow and cursing the fucking rocks. And having to ask someone to piss on my hands to free them from the metal work of my SLR. North Island numpty had no idea about real cold.

Rocks? They do grow well there.

I will unfortunately still be working on this bloody boat as the trips been extended.
Catch yas at the next gathering.

For a moment I had visions of Rushy hanging a few forum members heads as trophies in his gun room and needing the exact number to calculate how much wall space would be needed.

A friends special needs child (16yrs old?), just passed .
He is a bit of a space cadet at present as his cousin died of cancer last week as well but seemed to think the funeral would be this weekend.
To be confirmed

Do what you need to do mate.

Going to have to throw a yak on the roof and make a video while down there on Saturday. Oscar has helped me get back on the water and given me encouragement. He has recently heard that his bone cancer is back and we know how crap that is (RIP Toby). I've never edited a video before but up for the challenge.

Right back on again. Service next week
Anything planned for Saturday?
Just wondering what gear to bring

Up and on my way fellahs.

Had to flash two thumbs on my right hand to get across the border. Fools didn’t even see my left hand underneath

What have you fellas got planned for tonight/tomorrow night? But busy with mating on farm at the moment but I'll come catch up for evening festivities
