A great change in my life ... the trees have sprouted their leaves and I haven't seen snow for a while, so I think winter is over I'd post some pics but my camera still not working until I can figure out why not and get it happening again. Haven't spotted any military old timer vehicles around to take pics of for you all anyways

Happy Spring to those of you in the parts of the world doing Spring right now

I thought you was just hybernating. Welcome back!
Cheers, Lynn.

Hi Lynn, thanks for a welcome back. I guess it's been a form of hybernation and it's unlikely over yet. I do check in MLU several times a day but can't sit much/long at a time and my posting/corresponding on a budget. I've spent a lot of of my typing time in another forum when I can sit (different kinds of conversations than in here) but I pay for the sitting and typing these days. This will pass eventually and maybe I'll be more active in here again soon ...........

PS: Cliff, the current temp is +2 feels like -1 with chill factor. We've had some days hitting close to, or even at +20 I think, but we aren't into the "trust above zero" part yet. I have seen signs of spring with the leaves, grass, flowers etc, so it's trying.

Been down to +4C here and I'm thinking of shifting north for the winter. For some reason the cold is hitting me harder this year.

I'm sorry to hear that and if a shift north will bring any level of surcease (spelling?) at all, then don't hesitate if you're able to go north!!! Hit the rode, man ... don't wait til Spring, do it now, like that commercial says

My muscles can't handle cool/cold and that plays hell with even spine from neck to tailbone and all joints. Fun stuff.

Get out of Dodge and go North young man!!!!!!!!!

G'day Ma!
Wondered where you'd got too.
Thought it strange that you weren't on-line, although it's only 10 days since you wished me Happy Birthday. My boys gave me a great party with about 50 guests. We all had a great time and the weather held out. Jill put on a terrific spread and no-one went home hungry. I scored a few military vehicle DVD's, military books and a few parts and tools as well, so all in all a good time was had by everyone.
Kept you a bit of cake, (Black Forest Cake). I froze it but can't work out how to send it to you.
I guess I'll just have to eat it myself. (BooHoo - not)
Glad your back at the desk again, keep smiling
Regards Rick.

*Splutter/Chortle* Queensland is pretty rough, eh? We had snow here a couple of weeks ago, first time the Ol' Timers EVER recall it snowing in April. Anyhow, have 3 tons of wood in for winter, so all prepared to bunker down for winter.
