     Thanks, Michael. I tend to be a lot more careful when Gecko’s with me.

   The trick when leaving at 0500 is to avoid hitting a ‘roo, wild pig or cow. The road between here and Townsville is littered with the bodies of ’em.

   How not to move

     I liked to move while I was single in the U.S. Army – I would pack one suitcase for my civilian clothes and extra stuff, and one duffel bag with my military issue.

     Everything else was given away to my buddies, or went to the unit’s “slop chest” that was usually located in the basement next to the armory for the new guys setting up their BEQs.

     I will say one thing good about the now out-of-business PAM AM – they often managed to send my military issue to the wrong airport in the wrong country, but my suitcase was always in baggage claim.

   Economic collapse may be the final shoe to fall in this, the year of our discontent.

   Leave the keys with Gantt and Darin (not necessarily in that order… LOL) and we’ll play merry hell until you get back KG.

       By all means play merry hell. That’ll keep Gantt and Darin on their toes.

   Thank you, gentlemen.
   Right now we’re in Townsville and Wabbit is all but paralysed. (sciatic nerve, I suspect).
   Ah well, only another 2000km to go. Dunno how, though…….

   What a surprise! Maori corruption! Amazed, we are….
   A $20 million hole in the accounts of the central North Island iwi has raised questions about the way settlement money was used.
