Ray, Lee, Ruth and I spent February 14 2012 (Valentines Day) being wined and dined with a group of locals. What a great night. The locals became . . . → Read More: Waratah township romances Valentines Visitors

Back on the ground

Back on the ground

It was a cool morning in Picton on 10 December 2011, a little overcast, but with no wind. Garth, Jo and I were there with Ruth to watch her through the experience. In fact Garth also did the sky-dive with her.

Our day started at 5.30 in the morning, getting . . . → Read More: Ruth jumps out of a perfectly good aeroplane

Sunday morning ride

Birkenhead Point bridges

Old bridge, new bridge

Sunday morning I decided to wheel the Yammie 650 out of its stable and give it a run.  With Ruth on the back, we set off on a briskly cool morning and were heading for the new(ish) village on Parramatta River called Birkenhead Point.

Thirty minutes later we arrived and . . . → Read More: Sunday morning ride

Helping Garth create a website

Today I helped Garth put together his new website for his business, Synenergywellbeing.  I had to research how this was done in WordPress because it has been some time since I last did this for my own site and I had forgotten.

It took me a while, but eventually I . . . → Read More: Helping Garth create a website

Fixing the BSA

Me cleaning the BSA barrels

About eighteen months ago Ruth and I went for a ride on the BSA Lightning I have stabled in the garage. I love this old bike, but like all vintage machines, it requires constant maintenence – sometimes more than others. On this occasion, we were about half an hour into our ride when the . . . → Read More: Fixing the BSA

Touring Tasmania

Me and Mandy in front of h er place

Ruth and me at Herod's Gap

Yesterday we arrived in Launceston after nearly two weeks of touring around. We’ve walked up Cradle Mountain, done the Walls of Jerusalem (gasp!) and ridden a pushbike on Maria Island. We’ve looked around Freycinet and (some of) walked over to Wineglass Bay and back. I was the one . . . → Read More: Touring Tasmania

Windows blues solved

Well it wasn’t me, after all that. Telstra needed to reset Ruth’s email system. As soon as they had done that, after a somewhat lengthy phone call to their help services, it started to work. My faith in myself has been restored. Windows 7 is now installed on the home PC and all is well. . . . → Read More: Windows blues solved

Windows 7 blues

Stumped by Win 7

Usually I don’t have too much trouble troubleshooting  computer technology, but this is different.  The other day I got the smart idea of upgrading my Windows XP system to Windows 7.  I even went out and bought the media and software to do this.  Well, I’m here to say the . . . → Read More: Windows 7 blues
