    Why am I on KB at the moment

    Well I got home from the Wairarapa yesterday, bikes on the trailer in pissing rain. Thought OK leave it until tomorrow and I'll unload and clean them. Get up this morning and so far after the nice hot days we had over there its too friggin cold so I'm tapping away on the 'puter. I aint washing the bikes until the temp picks up quite a few degrees. It gave me time to post a few pics on the Capital Coast link at least.
    Cheers

    Merv

    Wrong part of Welly mate.

    The Trentham Weather Site says 22.6°C: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/aan...hamweather.htm
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Got an appointment with a career planner next week - new opportunities are just over the horizon.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Well, I'm on here cos I just solved this morning's crisis at werk, and I can't move on to this afternoon's crisis cos my cell phone is still is use syncing data for the morning crisis. So , dedicated soul that I am , I use my time usefully checking on the response time of our Internet connection - just in case anything's gone wrong with it. I like to be proactive about thse things.

    it looks fine .

    You live in Newlands and you say there's no roads in Welly that need repairing?

    Since when was Helston Road no longer part of the Welly region?

    I'm at KB right now as part of my work strategy:
    Work hard and concentrate ... surf and unwind for a few minutes before the next job... work hard and concentrate ... surf and unwind for a few minutes before the next job...etc. True! It beats getting up and looking out the window (Lichfield St ... light industrial area ...no pedestrians to perve at)
    Grow older but never grow up

    Yeah, looks nice down there. I see they're putting in a pub of some description under the Mexican restaurant too. Seems to look 'Olde English'.

    Was wondering if I was going to get a bite !!
    I rode on it the other day in the heat and, man, it is slippery.

    That is still my pet project for getting improved. I bring it up at each Surfacing meeting 'til they they get sick of me talking about it.
