Thanks for the well wishes Gents!
I'm not getting younger but I'm still having what I consider a good time.
Recently I've re-located a bit further north, much nearer the beach, Brisbane, civilization and a ton of great Yum-Cha places.
Was up early and walked Rocky (the dog) around the Marina, had a swim. Bacon, eggs & cooked tomato for breakfast with heaps of home grown Habanero. Been getting right into growing our own chillies lately. Have Orange Habanero, Jalapeno, Lemon Aji, Naga Viper, Yellow Seven Pot, Chocolate Scorpion and a few others too.
Did some soldering and worked on some guitar stuff (I've been right into the Mick Goodrick & Tim Miller book "Creative Chordal Harmony for Guitar" for a while).
Later I picked up the kids for the weekend. So far we've been for a long bike ride and stuffed ourselves with Peking Pork. Next it's a snooze with a book- Reginald Hill for me, manga & Tin Tin for them, then dinner and a movie.
I guess I don't post here (or anywhere) so much, but I do still check in regularly. I'm still constantly etching and building- Codtone keeps me pretty busy. I'm still doing it all single handed and have sent pedals to over 20 different countries now. Pretty cool for a guy operating out of his back shed in Oz.
