Off to USA. What to take?

[skidMark]

Heading off to USA to work on silage harvest for seven months in two weeks. Just checking to see if any ideas on what I should not forget to take with me?

Knowledgable replies welcomed...

Lube, lots of anal lube.

What is it with you and anal lube?

[HungusMaximist]

Plently of condoms.

I heard, due to the success of 'flight of the concords' over there, US women just melt when they hear that hot NZ accent.

I dunno what is it with insurance companys ripping people off?

Don't forget to take Krusty! John.

Oh yeah, obviously you have forgotten yourself as well...

... and agreement between NZ and USA is that if she gets pregnant, you have to pay .... even if decision to keep babee is unilateral, and even if you never see babee in your entire life.

Take care, and plenty of it.

Power adaptors, open mind, credit card for emergency, Laptop is good but don't count on the WiFi working in small motels it often doesn't.
Camera, clothes are cheap here so pack light, camelbak (essential IMO), LED headlamp or similar, been amazed how often that is useful.
Bring some Kiwiana stuff too, make great gifts for those who make an impresion on you.
Have fun, this country (US) is really different to what I expected in some ways, and not at all in others.

That would be enough to get kicked out! If you walked in with "the creature from the black latrine", immigration would say "Go back to where you came from, and take "that thing" with you"!!

Just spoke to the boss over there, I will be driving a 2008 500hp Ford Sterling semi truck. Carting between chopper and stack.

talking to my cousin last night,
yesterday he had to go to the us consulate in auckland to get his visa , and he said man it is overkill in their with all the guards and screening,
he flies out on 28th to SF then onto Denver then drive out to a place called Fargo then they drive all the gear down to texas and start.
he was talking to a mate over there and where they are meant to be starting at is 7 feet under snow so they are already 5 weeks behind.
he is just driving the trucks but man it not a very good hourly wage.
he is leaving it over there to see if our dollar drops then bring it back to convert.

I'm up to the consulate on Tuesday then fly out on the second. Hourly is not that flash but I am more going to see the place...

We are heading into Kansas and out to Wamego then off down to Texas, big adventure for this little country boy....

The Co that I deal with sends about 100 kiwis over a year.

Thing...........Swoop, you are being very kind. Mind you how do you describe a mountain of shit, leaning to the left, smelling of deceit who conducts business in the back of a limousine while not looking out the window. In LA that would be described as a hooker, in NZ it's called the Prime Minister but not for much longer thank God.

[Swoop]

...the Prime Minister but not for much longer thank God.

Yup. New Zealand's very own "foot in mouth" disease.
