Please don't take offense, and perhaps my command of the Queen's language is lacking, but I have no idea what you just said.

Sorry Rob, forgot which side of the pond you were born on!

"you lead a colourful and interesting and adventuresome life", all positive

I never would have got that meaning from that original sentence. Yes, I was born in the new world, where our colloquialisms are more obvious.

Well the parameters of my life have just been somewhat reduced. From my hiatus of retirement, I have now entered the civil service as the full time mechanic at the RCA museum in Shilo. It will be nice working in a shop this winter where I don't have to put wood in the furnace at the start of the day.

You should see if you could light a fire under that guy from Carberry and see if he is interested in helping out once in a while.

Hows that for a retirement job. Nice Rob. Nice to see an enthusiast doing that rather than some dude punching the clock. Win for both you and the museum.

It was a roller coaster ride, believe me. I can tell you this though, when you have a job you truly love, you don't need an alarm clock to get there on time.

No paycheque yet, but when it does come, I am going to feeel like a thief.

Gordon: have not seen hide nor hair of the invisible man, but it is my understanding they are going for another camping trip (army style) so he will be busy. I cannot say I entirely miss those days.

we have massively managed to get off topic, talk about mission creep, how about topic creep

It is all good, in the end

I was on base again today to see the Leopard, I did take a few pictures, it is interesting what a move a few feet one way or the other does to the image.
