bye Bronnie

A lovely lady passed away here this morning,Bronnie was so good to me when diane was sick,she made me meals and always had something reassuring to say,Thankfully she managed to have all her family with her at the end,,,  Rip.

great week

No body can say i have had a slack week,started on sunday with 2 phone calls for fathers day from my two favourite girls, great to hear from them,made my day.

I managed to get out on the trail bike 3 times and found some new riding areas.I found a couple of steep,slippery bits that scared me!,good for the heart and a great feeling when you make the top without injury!
Diane has also enjoyed her week,her and leanne and Julia went fishing on the rocks and also went out 2 days in a row kayaking.
Last night steve and sally and us put the longline out but had no luck,all part of the adventure!

something else to lust after

Notice the headline? i said "something" else not "someone" else. it seems i have to add yet another toy to my wish list, Colnago have just released the latest model and of course i want one, I would like a red one if anyone feels generous.

another tough day

after my trail ride yesterday decided the only decent thing to do was to go for a blast on the mountain bike. went up a road that was used in the early days of the goldrush in the coromandel.
nowadays it's a pine forest but apparently at one stage in the late 1800's there was 1500 men living along a 10 kilometre stretch of valley!

glen

My mate Glen rang me this morning,always good to talk to him cause we always end up laughing!
nothing wrong with that as the rest of my day goes well after a catch up with "mario"
Decided to go for a blast on the trailbike this arvo,why not?
