Birthday and stuff (all)

Back, trying to get over my annoyance with this site and it's ability to lose posts all over the place. I'll have to save on a religious basis and see what happens.

So, I turned 32 Late last month and enjoyed having Mum visit from Tassie and had a great party the following Saturday after the actual day. I suffered like an unloved puppy the next day but my loving girlfriend and a mate had done all the dishes by the time I crawled out of bed so I was able to take it easy on the couch for the most part. Another good friend did all the cooking for the event and I have to say he did a fantastic job of it. I don't think I've had such good curries, and never one with fried banana.

Work has been fairly busy, but that goes hand in hand with taking on the Supervisor's responsibilities and jobs. At least the week flys past now, just wish the weekends didn't as well!

New Orleans has been devastated by a hurricane and from the news footage looks to be pretty much all under water. I'm sure it wont take too long for the global warming doom sayers to jump up onto a soapbox with a tired "i told you so" diatribe.

I've got about two weeks until my track day at Phillip Island and still need to arrange for new boots and fix some tie points to the ute so I can stick the bike in the back. I'm not riding back this time, way too much in one day.

Here's a pic of my Mate Mark's SR500 Single Cafe Racer, it's a tidy piece of kit and one I'm using as a sort of template for another bike I want to modify, namely, Mel's SRV250 V-twin. Don't know when she'll let me at it but the seed has been planted.

Well, this was just a quick post to see if it'll stick this time. If you are reading this then it did, if not, then I'm writing this and totally wasting the effort.
