That would make a brilliant excuse not to get back to work in time after the monkey.... fingers crossed.

I will be there, I will be joining in with Plug's merry men.

Look forward to catching up with you folks again.

Now what we need is a hole saw with a gearbox output shaft mount... that'll deal to that fire drum in no time at all!

Hmm... who's got an old front sprocket, a hole saw and some welding skills?

Picking up the KB flag from Spank soon. So a better organised group shot may be in order too.

T.I.E has had to pull out of the trip.

So he has 2 ferry tickets for sale.

Thursday 31 Welly to Picton 8pm Bluebridge

Monday 4th Picton to Welly 10pm Interislander (flexi fare).

So it's now offical - call me Neville cos I have no friends ......

If I go I will bring a (welding) chipping hammer and that will work better than that tent peg.

I may not go as we get our new puppy's tomorrow and it will depend on how they settle in and if we can get someone to look after them and our other pets. (we are getting a bit of a zoo now)

Well did manage to get a few more holes in the drum but enough of them.
And I did manage to get a few holes in my jacket as well, bugger it.

And I forgot to say, sorry to hear that T.I.E is not going to make the trip.
Get well soon mate.

Yep I'm getting worried, never had an extremely bad weathered trip, got stuck overnight because of snow and wet day.Never had a real bad trip for the whole week it takes for us Jaffas. So whats the long range forecast that the locals are following.

**Ghost_Bullet** · 24th May 2007, 22:34

Some-one posted this link at some stage, as accurate as you are going to get I guess, even this site the forcast changes as quick as the weather.
Looking promising for a storm... bring it on I say!!!
