Spaceman's Flaxmere Odyssey

[ScottSI]

Times have changed (bloody evictions and the subsequent clean up) and I will be in full swing on Thursday November 14th on the restoration of the ancient oikos at 2 Montrose.

I will be rolling off the ferry at some early hour on the way to the Bay.

I will also be calling a few of the Achaeans to help as I need to get back onto the road to Ithaca as soon as possible.

Are you wanting a ride in my mere chariot or are you bringing your own lunar module?

I could spring for some Aerozine 50 & N₂O₄ when you land so you can get back home.

Being code speek for . . .

Aerozine 50 & N₂O_{4???????.....bah !!!! I prefer HMX & CL-20 ........coz when you wanna run cool you got to run on heavy heavy fuel.}

Plan change at this end too......I'll be up in Auckland for the week starting 11 Nov...arriving back in Wellington on the 15.

So I'm going to miss the kickoff.......plan is to drive up on Friday afternoon so as to arrive at dark O ' clock and sneak in and catch scott doing a rip van winkle

Cheers

820 Lts paint sprayed and leaving Murchison this afternoon (still another 200lts of orange to finish the roof but on order)

RD1 all moved in and operating.

Flaxmere Thursday still the plan so see you Friday evening Spaceman

Orange roof?

[ScottSI]

Orange roof?

RD1 is a farm store chain owned by Fonterra.

Their colours are green bottom half with orange top half (including the roof) (custom colours thus the ordering and waiting for paint issue as batch made by Resene).

This was their 69th Shop to open in NZ.

Spaceman should be able to see in orbit as very, very bright.

Wouldn't come flying up to Flaxmere this weekend Spaceman. Can't get across on the ferry as booked out till next week and no luck on Standby with car and trailer.

Trouble when you don't book ahead.

Yes - the Interislander is in a bit of a pickle with the Aratere out of action for up to 6 months (prop fell off). 43% of their capacity gone.
The other ships are pretty full with pre-booked train and frieght so tourists are screwed.

[ScottSI]

Booked on bluebridge for tuesday night. Interislander taking no new booking at all. So if anyone travelling over christmas, check your bookings!

Don't worry if you can't make this week though, had a successful weekend of offers so 4 more projects of various levels secured for December.

[spaceman]

BUM!!!!

I wish I was more like you and didn't have a regular job :-(

Unfortunately I made plans, then canceled them and it's not easy to remake them again right now.

Still keen to teach you a thing or two about hard work though.....so hopefully next time things go better.

Cheers
