Chris back in Maxis Blitzheaven
Good Day
I thought I just start a new thread about my new short visit to Max & Kathy in Yass. As you probably still know, I enjoyed the Aussie hospitality of Max & Kathy back in Summer 2005. I'll be going back to visit them and enjoy Corowa . It's going to be a very international event with Karmen & Jif coming too. I don't think all of this would be possible without the MLU community! Hope to meet some new MLU members in Corowa. I will leave Switzerland next Thursday and keep you updated about my Aussie impressions. Greetings Chris

Is this a case of being a gluton for punishment?
Cheers Cliff PS> I hope you really enjoy your new trip Chris.

... brilliant, I haven't had a ride in a DUKW so far.
I hope you don't mind my European truck drive style ;-)

Drive
Looks like a shocking experience.
Just leave the driving to us. We know how to drive on the correct side of the road.

Have a good flight!
PILOT- "Attention, passengers, It's my duty to inform you that we have to turn back due to one of the engines having failed"
NERVOUS PASSENGER- "I wonder how far we can get on one engine?" BASTARD PASSENGER- "Right to the scene of the crash"

arrived in Sydney
Good day folkes
Just wanted to let you know, that I despite "the engine trouble" have safely arrived in Sydney. Max & Kathy picked me up and we spent the afternoon watching (young girls) at Manly Beach. Will stay in Sydney until Tuesday before making my way down to Blitzheaven. Greetings Chris PS Gosh, over 35 degrees today. A little bit shocking after having not more than 10 degrees the last few weeks.

Ford Ute
Max just collected the Ford Ute at John's place. I love the V8 sound, very smooth. She'll be my personal means of transport for Corowa
Thanx to youtube, you can watch her when Max is firing her up

Secluded beaches
There are some more secluded beaches where you may see 'white pointers'.
You're here to see MV's Chris. Stay focused, please!

Where is the red jacket?

The red jacket is back home :-( I expected temperatures in the 30+ and no rainfall. Brr, at the moment it's only 18 degrees and a chilly wind. Hope I don't freeze too much when sleeping in a swag in Corowa. Or you'll have to organise a female hot water bottle for cold nights, oh, that'll be cuddly ;-))
cu Bob Chris

12 Monkeys
After all the "trouble" with the Canadiens, I thought I'll give you a little update.
Here's Max's new project, restoring the Cab 11. Do you know the movie "12 monkeys" with Bruce Willies? Here are 2 monkeys, find the missing 10 ;-)
