I might have to pull her out of the game early so Daddy can drink beer, I will make it up to her by allowing her to drive home.

Sorry I must be picking up more of SKID's bad habits

So are we filling his 80 full of Bagels whilst he's not looking

what time do ya reckon you will be getting to Upper Hutt ???

I will be leaving work just after 12 noon and farting around for an hour or so before heading in if you want to tag along.

I can meet you on the corner of moonshine rd and haywards hill if you like.

I will check this thread before I leave work and will PM my cell.

Cheers

SKID

UPDATE:

Got a small amount of firewood cut , the logsplitter made easy work of it, (suggestion was made to have a firewood day up there (if we can get it again) ie everyone who wants some bring a trailer etc, will put up a seperate thread re this). a lot of the lining and finishing work was done, still heaps more to do, looks like the showers won't be ready at this stage for QBW. priority at this stage is to get the bogs sorted. inside of the hut was cleaned.

Towed a load of rubbish to the tip up there this morning, had a slight trailer malfunction on the way there , I think my navi SKID took some pick......its always the navi's fault ..... so SKID its your fault

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED.

EDIT: heres the vid SKID took

The back board basically fell off due to Rot

The back board basically fell off due to Rot

theres a Tui ad right there

slow down Jerry

bouncing trailers fall apart more easy


talking about that.....................

if you are going up the track behind the gree hut, then keep an eye out on your right for the white curtain hanging in the trees and at that point you should floor it so as to glide over the broken glass

[skid]

I won't be in till after my daughters netball, not sure when that finishes

maaaate, your daughter must be fairly tired by now

thats one very long game of netball

where is it being played coz we're all out now and could come and watch

shame you didn't make it in

is it a 24 hour netballathon or something

[Jerry]

Rubbish ..... it was a "Trailer Malfunction"

[skid]

Rubbish ..... it was a "Trailerload all over the track"

fixed it for ya

[wisard2]

I'd just like to say "thanks" to Skid for kindly waiting for me on Haywards Hill to introduce himself and show me the way into Rallywoods, and then "thanks " to all the great crew I met in there over the last 2 days. Thanks all, for making me feel welcome and helping me fit in. A great couple of days, and a great crew to be in there with.................THANKS GUYS (AND GIRLS), and will catch up again QBW.
Cheers,
Ryan

[wisard2]

Oh, nearly forgot, thanks Curly for showing me a "self tapper" screw, that wasn't quite being "self tapped", had never seen one before lol.

[Jerry]

Curly is from the west coast (as in yeehaa deep south hillbilly), that will explain the self tappers

[wisard2]

No comment, but I haven't ever seen screw's put in before how Curly showed me.................

Sorry about that lads but by the time the game finished, mandatory icecream's etc it was after 2pm. It didn't help that I crushed my hand, thought I had broken a bone, I'm still not that convinced it's not, just need to see once the bruising goes down. Sooo I decided that the day was late and I wouldn't be much help with firewood anyway, glad to know I was missed

That wasn't your BEER DRINKING HAND was it BUBBA I think SKID had some straws that you can borrow

[skid]

Wacko came to visit on Saturday night and brought along NJV6, who seemed to be a long way from home, but did fill us in with an interesting fact about Invercargill, that us Welly boys found hard to believe...............

'you can't buy beer and wine at the supermarket'

the things you take for granted in the big city

[Jerry]

what was that about no 24 packs or something...

[skid]

what was that about no 24 packs or something...

Hey guys, just made it home.

I enjoyed Wellington but it was really hard work staying at the Intercontential for the week.....

Looked like a great site - you guys have done some cool work there. The wee Levin made it up to the airstrip

The alcohol thing - well we have a Licensing Trust which controls all the distribution, and yea - mostly 24's......

Good to meet some people - skid did you keep warm all night?? (the big softie went away and ran the cruiser for an hour before bed to warm it up!)
