Off to Work.....no guitar building for next 3 weeks

Post by kiwigeo » Mon Nov 05, 2007 5:00 pm

Well the bags are packed and Im on a plane to New Zealand tomorrow. Got a day in New Plymouth and then Im on a bird headed out to an offshore rig. Should be out on the job for 2-3 weeks and then its straight back to Australia for another job off the NW shelf.

Finding it harder and harder to go to work but every day out on the rig is another few days closer to retirement and more time in the workshop.

Will be trying to catch up with Graham W in Christchurch of I have time. Will try and get some phtotos of the meet up if it happens.

Will probably be making the occasional post, depending on the IT setup out on the rig.

Cheers Martin

Hmm. I think I can see a few Steinlagers being thrown in the chilly bin.

Take it easy Martin.
