Bledsoe, everythings a long way away in Aussie country! :lol:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

8) Dear Paul,
Say hello to my Australian pen pal, Julie, who I first wrote to in 3rd grade.
Have a great pull and spend some time relaxing.

We are back and ,must say, had an absolute ball. We met Reiner from Aussie Teardrop Campers and his wife, Samantha, who decided to join with us. They travelled, from Brisbane, about 1000miles one way to get there. I will post some picks later.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

I was being kind (that's spelt S.S.A.T.R.A.M.S.). Believe it or not, all h**l broke loose and more than one thread got moved and would you believe, I just kind of stood off in the wings and watched. I did ask one question on one earlier today and it got moved and I still don't really know why that happened. :scratchthinking:

Have a good day.

Above is backwards. I'm to the point where I say to myself, do I really want to post?

I do believe I could live over there real easy. I do love the desert (or planes). Nice pictures Paul. Miles and miles of no people. So tell me. When are you going to put a roll hoop on your tear? Better yet, why did Reiner put it on his tear?

Have a good day.
