hey hey hey

hey everyone and i hope we are all doing well at the moment

just a little recap on what i have been up to lately

now that the harvest season on the farm is finished i am in winter work mode which of course means that instead of working from 5.30am to 8-9pm 7 days a week i now only work from 7am to 5pm (and bludge alot lol) 6 days a week and just 5 hrs on sundays

started up at the gym last week and am feeling pretty good (think that my little health scare is finally over :D)

ordered my caravan (forgot what you yanks call it :P) and managed to get the price down by $4,000 by buying some of the items (i.e. fridge, dishwasher etc) myself which is a good outcome:)

got my holiday coming (just 4 more days yay:D) in adelaide which with dads funeral service happening on friday means that i will be flying over there on thursday have lunch check out the pandas at the zoo (sorry wellzy cant fit you in my bag :( will take lots of pics tho) then tea at a lovely ladies house with her family (damn me thought the first online friend that i would meet in person would be a nice guy...but then again she is a lovely lady so i cant complain)

after that i will fly back on friday for the funeral then drive to adelaide so i can arrive at 7am sat morning (with an 8hr drive think i might have to leave around 11pm) i do love night driving but will have to watch out for the kangaroos they can be a pain to run into one (already had 2 encounters with roos and they do cause a hella lot of damage)

have brekkie at the market then pop into the odd winery or 3 check out the odd chocholate shop or 6 (mmm just drooling at all that chocolate) can you tell that i have a chocolate addiction? lol spend a great day and finish it off at a revolting (oops that was supposed to be revolving lol) resturaunt (hope i dont get dizzy :P) for tea

then spend sunday and monday morning doing w/e comes along should be fun n staying in a hotel suite should be fun (be fun living in luxury even if its only for a couple of nights)

mmm do ya think i might be over organising my holiday? meh come to think of it i usualy plan my hols even worse than this one lol

on Dad...thx kyle for the comment...my Dad was the nicest quietest guy you would ever meet in all my years i only heard him raise his voice and swear once (and that was when my idiot oldest brother wanted $20,000 so he could join the mercenarys over in africa) mmm shoulda said my phsychotic bro at that :P

he will be sorely missed (the worse thing is that its been 2 yrs since i last saw him)

at any rate i'm gonna stop all this rambling and leave you guys with a couple of nice pics



Peace, Love & Respect:)

by dad

hey all

hey all...i hope you all had fun over easter (with plenty oh choccy eggs)

its good to see tyler was able to get out of the hospital for easter (after spending 2 weeks in hospital i can understand how he must feel about getting out)

for those of you who follow chosen life foerever...blogger has deleted his account for no apparent reason and he has set up a new blog at This life forever for those of you who havnt had the pleasure of reading his blog then pop on over and say hi Wellzy_boo is an awesome dude

as i might have mentioned i was planning on goin to adelaide for easter (but my little health problem through a spanner in my plans :P) so i now will be going over in july instead (yay i get to watch my AFL team play in adelaide)

the ladies who i was planning on meeting did send me lots of pics so i wouldnt feel left out tho...this is a pic of the panda that i will be seeing in july now (cant wait)


peace, love & respect:)

hey all

hey guys...just thought i would let you know about my recent trip to the hospital

2 wks ago i went into the emergency room with stomach pains that turned out to be a large hiatus hernia and an ulcer that herniated and punched a hole the size of a golf ball (or there abouts) in my stomach wall thereby pushing air into the rest of my body...i gotta say the pain that that causes is extreme and at that point i used some very colourful language (or so i have been told lol)
luckily it happened while i was at the hospital since i live so far out that if it happened at home then i probably would have been dead by the time the ambulance reached me

i was then rushed into surgery...spent the next 5 days in the intensive care unit then a further 8 days before they let me leave the hospital

in a way the experience has given me a new outlook on life and i'm more relaxed now than i was

hope that answers your question Ron

Peace, Love & Respect:)

I'm alive

well sorta

had my stomach sliced open 2 wks ago and have just got back home from the hospital...was told i almost died at the time so i', happy to say i'm not and i'm back
funnily enough i have missed reading all your blogs... got the next 4-6wks of work to recover so should have plenty of spare time to catch up with all of ya

will post about the experience later once i'm ready

love you all
Peace, Love, & Respect:)

hey all...no the aliens havnt abducted me...n yes i am alive

tho i have been working insane hrs lately (well if you call 5am to 7-9pm everday since christmas insane lol) so while i have been readin blogs i have been a little busy so havnt commented much

have been on MSN each night so i have managed to chat with a couple of great guys who have helped keep me sane durin this time

so thx Wellzy, Ken, Biki, Arron, n hun (u know who u are) i treasure every minute we spend chatting (even if its just a hello how are you)

luckily the harvest season is winding down a little n i do manage to get my first day of on the 14th of march (gonna go down to Melb n check out the caravan n campin show) and then i get 3 days off at easter

gonna go to adelaide and meet a couple of ladies that i met on facebook (n yes they know i'm gay) so that should be fun what with seein the pandas at the zoo n visiting the wineries (n no i dont drink alot...just the odd bottle of whisky or 2) mind you i have been known to drink 1 n a half bottles in under an hr (thats not excessive is it?)lol and of course spending my first real hol with someone else instead of goin on my own will just be awesome


thought i would put some pics up of my last hol

this is a group of brumbies (Australian wild horses) that we stopped on the side of the road and watched

and this is the alcoholic cow at the cattle station (if the cup had alcohol in it the cow drank it)


hope to be back more often (wouldnt want anyone think i was dead or sumfin)

Peace, Love & Respect:)
