Must be Psychic!!

Hi guys! AIn't been around for a while. Went and got meself a job, didn't I. :rolleyes: Thought I'd better check The Gauge out tonight. Ain't done so for a couple of weeks.

It's only for a month though, back at my old job. Then it's pack up, sell the house and move up the bush. Ain't seen it yet, but this place don't look too bad. Northern New South Wales, bout 2 hrs south of Brisbane.

Hi Tyson
I was in your area about two weeks ago on vacation.
We were camping outside of Cherokee and My son's motorhome
needed a water pump. We had it replaced in your town, at a place out on 19. I don't remember the name of the place but the people were very nice.

It was next door to a big tire place

We liked Bryson City and plan on returning sometime to look around.

Mike.

The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated (or something like that). Gee, guys, it's nice to know I'm missed. Actually, it's been a combination of things that's been keepimg me too busy/confused to do much related to RRs:

  • Work (we're running out bombs - they keep blowing them up.)
  • Marriages in the family (a nephew from Missouri got married to a local girl here in town which meant a redecorated house full of inlaws. A niece also got married in Omaha to a guy from Taupo, New Zealand, not sure what that means.)
  • Filling is coaching a soccer team.
  • Problems with a brother back in Nebraska which I'll not go into.

Besides which, I've got nothing to say.
