Thanks for a great afternoon Ian, great food and great company. Ate a little more chocolate than I should though thanks to Gavin.....I've never met a kid so willing to share out his lollies to complete strangers.
Thanks again

Yep just got back home @ 9.30!(had to stop at HJacks!)
Thanks Ian was a nice afternoon, and great to meet up with the SA mob again.
Finally got my Besseys, they actually come in handy on the way home... I picked up some more materials from a mates place... used the besseys to help tie down the load!
Complements Ian and wife(oop's forgotten her name:eek:, please remind us Ian:D) Nice salads and BBQ, nice workshop to Ian... man of many toys:cool:
Thanks to Ian and family for a great afternoon, and for keeping my clamps warm. They look really good hanging in the shed now.
Good food, good company, looked over Ian's impressive machinery, and talked woodwork. Doesn't get much better, does it?

Finally got the lad off the 'puter!
A huge thankyou to Ian & his long suffering wife Tracy ;) for the hospitality.
The house and Family beautiful.
The views awesome.
The food was wonderful.
The workshop an inspiration.
The company as always brilliant.
The presents greatly appreciated!
Will be in touch soon Ian!
Ian!
I think there is something wrong with your beautiful camera!
It seems to be adding too many pounds to some people!:D
Hi Ian,
Many thanks for the details, unfortunately SWMBO realised that there was something else that was happening that day :( hence my absence. Some days you just shouldn't get out of bed!
Would be more than keen to attend the next one though and meet some of the more interesting characters that appear in these columns :).
Regards
Thanks Ian for a great afternoon
Gifts were great. T nuts and also the rocking chair the kids are going to go crazy over that!
Bit of bad news was that yesterday when I got to the studio to drop the chair off I found out I had been broken into. They just jimmied the security door open looking for cash which I don't keep in the studio. Luckily I had all my cameras at home after saturday's wedding in Pt Noarlunga. I normally go to the studio after a wedding and get it all on a hard drive and do the post processing but seeing I was down the far end of town I didn't worry about it. That was luck really as I might have left my cameras and lost those too.
So they made a mess and stole my monitor but not the computer and also my back up hard drive. My week now is going to be all about trying to find if there are other copies of all the stuff I have done on other drives CD's and the like. It isn't a really expensive piece of equipment but it is valuable to me real shame that.
Anyway I better go and get the place cleaned up and see who can put a new door on for me.
Thanks again for a great day Ian. *VBG* what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

Thank you to Ian, Tracy and family for hosting the Adelaide "meet & greet"
It was great meeting many of the "SA WW Forum Mob" for the first time - very friendly and inclusive - a credit to you all.
A special thanks to Javali, Ian & others for the sharpening and tuition - a good fitness regime I think!:D
Tankstand - I concur with your opinion about Ian's camera - too many pounds and way too much grey?
Ian - traveling home the "backway" was 6 kms shorter than via the freeway (106/100 kms)
A special hello to young Gavin, who supplied me with my annual allowance of chocolate in one afternoon
Once again, thanks Ian for an enjoyable day and distributing the "Bessey's" and I hope Bella didn't leave any surprises!:eek: or cause too much consternation.
Cheers
Brenton
Thats why there are no pics of me:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :eek: :eek: :eek:Quote:
