So I finally got the time to pick up the screw the dealer lost when installing my cargo guard that they had ordered in for me.

Only to come home with a brand new cargo guard of a newer make(so I can now have the plastic cover thing installed at the same time if I want(and can find it in my basement where it has lived the last one and a half years)) because they stopped making/importing the one they sold me in the first place and couldnt source the parts.

I guess it was the harderest working day, that lasted longer than the others)
That is the reason I tend to take no more than 3 weeks at once.
Congratulations with the new roof)

Knowing you, that's like 4 weeks away :lol:
Nope, but I start thinking of taking one week in September, for this month is gonna be the harderest one - my work pattern is like this: from 8am till 10-11am next day (with no chance to take a nap at night) and then I am off till the end of the day and next day as well.

From similar words in Spanish, I think it means the car was 'wheels up' in the workshop.

Long days at work over the last couple of days. 

Sunday was an early start to conduct a customs flight and deck inspection on an Accommodation Support Vessel in the Browse Basin.  We had to shut down on deck for a few hours.  Nearly six hours of flight time, and twelve hours of "duty".

:link: Vessel details for: POSH ARCADIA (Accommodation Vessel) - IMO 9639995, MMSI 311000283, Call Sign C6BJ7 Registered in Bahamas | AIS Marine Traffic

Yesterday was a flight out to the Prelude FLNG (Floating Liquified Natural Gas) for a "crew change".  Got back in time for a meeting with the Big Boss from Perth.  During the meeting I got a phone call from our operations to say that we had to fly back up to a remote airfield to pick up passengers from a broken helicopter.  Nearly eight hours of flight time!!

Good to see you getting some flight time with the real thing (leading by example and keeping your hand in..) :goodjob2:

That's a lot of flying! Without counting to and from home! :Shocked:

- we lost my husband's sister to toxic shock from a perforated bowel a few weeks ago.  At 65 she was just too young to leave us.

-/+ my husband retired in February. Not sure if it is a good or bad thing. I still cook dinner when I get home from work, but he has picked up a few small jobs around the house. It has also given him time to do a lot of the running around, both before and after his sisters death. Her husband will need a lot of support. Unfortunately they were both a little 'challenged' intellectually.

+ we had 5kw of solar panels put on our roof about a month ago. We are still waiting for our smart meter to be switched over so we can earn a feed in tariff.  Our electricity provider is not really in a hurry.

-/+ our beloved Bella had five teeth out at the vet yesterday. She is sleeping on the couch at the moment, still a little fragile but given the ok by the vet. At nearly 17 years old she is getting a little slower, but she is still very precious to us. 

Wow, tha t was a very eclectic mix. I need to rouse myself more often and visit.

Good to hear from you Cecilia. Sorry about the S.I.L. Bella is doing well!

We were lucky with our Solar, even though we used a cheaper crowd things happened quickly. Your time frame is more the norm. Solar is great, one of the best things we ever did. We've only got 3.8 kw (wish we'd gone 5 now) but had good returns over last 4 years or so.
