Default Strange dietary habits in Australia....

Half cooked bacon...... partly cooked eggs covered in virgin synthetic motor oil......

Good Canadian maple wood smoked bacon is cooked crisp...... eggs whipped with heavy cream and scrambled in fresh butter with a pnch of salt and frsh groudn pepper....and the maple "surpull" is used to dip you fresh toasted whole wheat buttered bread........ et voila !!!!! instant cholesterol fix.

....a small side dish of salt pork beans goes well with that combination.

For the wine some good quality simulated champagne mixed 50/50 with fresh squeezed orange juice......

....strange ....I am hungry all of a sudden.....

Bob

Hey Robert,
Not a bad Staff Car. It is not getting much use at the moment as the owner is in the Mercy Private Hospital, East Melbourne, having his back rebuilt for the 6th. time. Still smiling most of the time though.
Rick.

keep your hands off the nurses Rick ...

Moving heavy engines and stuff wouldn't be ideal work for you

Bob, That photo was taken about 1985 when I had torn the muscles off my right arm in a work accident. I wasn't able to move it at all for 6 months. Didn't stop me from driving Glen Stones C15A with no doors though. The Cab 12 was Bruce Whiltshires with a 2pdr in the back.
Memories, Memories!.

Thanks for your get well wishes, Bob. Things can only improve from here on. Regards Rick.

Default One for Bob McNeill

Here at two photos especially for Bob McNeill, he will know the significance

Bob, do you remember ? There is a story here, quite a remarkable coincidence.

Taken in 1994 and 1996
