I was thinking of you guys on Saturday afternoon when I had my only beer for the day at 5:30. Tasted nice. I was at Sandown and the bar opens late. So I had a beer with ExCPOMECH James Dodd and we thought of you for a short while.

I was thinking of you guys on Saturday night whilst consuming free piss at my nieghbours surprise 50th birthday party at the Civic Pub here in Canberra. Our son even played taxi for us.

Glad you all had a great time at this year's Rocks Run, albeit with some stumbling blocks (to go with the stumbling inebriates.... :drunken: :drunken: :wine: :tchin: :drink 42: :drunken: :vom: ).

I really had the shits (like Hendo...though in a semi-controlled manner.... :hoho: :hoho: ) that I couldn't make it... :shit: :shit: :shit: , but being anal was important.... :finga: :finga: My colonoscopy went well, got the all clear, and had a few vinos for you all over the weekend to celebrate, so was there in spirit at least.... :wine: :wine: :wine: . Didn't feel quite so under the weather for some reason... :-k :-k ...you're obviously all piss-heads and lead me astray when I'm there... :laughing3: :mock: :mock:

I will definitely try my best to make it next year, and seeing I'll be retired by then it should be easier.... :yess: :yess:

Some notes:
....................
7. We should look at starting/meeting a bit later on Saturday morning for breakkie.
8. The Lowenbrau charged me $75:00 for 3 beers, :omg: and on top of that was a ladies drink for CJ. Thank you Pony!!!!!!!!!!!!
...................
=; Just a few observations. PW... :-k
Re: #7. Start time on Saturday was just fine, you just need to adjust your bed time on Friday... :sleep1:
Re: #8. $60.00 of your $75.00 bill was for deposits :omg1: on the three gigantic bier steins you ordered... :drink 42:
:happy1: (BTW, I only discovered this by accident when I returned your empties to the bar after you left...) :money 3: :yess:

Gollygosh Pony! Nothing like getting in early. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

It's always the first weekend in November, so that should be correct. No-one has any objections? :dontknow:
