The hairy brothers!

My brother Simon came down to visit recently and was sporting a fairly decent beard. I was pretty impressed so had to try to match it. Below is the comparison… Not sure who won.

He has the better beard but I have the better mo… Time for a shave!

Fishing in Fiordland

When on the Milford Track with some mates, I had a fish. Didn’t catch anything but there were plenty of decent sized fish chasing the lures!

Here’s a photo Simon Sharp took… Awesome photographer…

Awesome Fiordland Trip!

I was lucky and blessed enough to be given the opportunity to go tramping with Gavin and some old mates on the Milford Track in Fiordland in Jan.

I went with Gavin, Darren, Gareth, Leigh, Simon and Annette. Awesome bunch of people who have all played a part in my life at some point. It was a great trip, and although the legs are a little sore, I’m glad I made the effort. Looking forward to another trip again in the near future!

It just drove home to me that life is too short to pass up opportunities and we need to get out there and experience things while we can!

Here’s some pics!

Jack’s Parade Ride!

Jackson was in the Leeston Santa parade the other day so Sarah and I popped over to check it out and cheer him on. He did great and loved it! I think he was a ‘Super Bat Man Tractor Driver’??

The ‘Wild Hogs’!

This is me taking jack for a very slow cruise on the bike around the farm. I think we got up to about 3kph! He loved it!

Meet the new member of the family. ‘Bob’ the dog!

We decided to get Jackson a dog. This is Bob the Cairn Terrier. Silly name but Jack named him. 🙂 Look how happy he is – he totally loves Bob!

Some of dad’s cars & trucks!

No reason for this post other than memories…  😉

These are some of the vehicles I’ve owned over the years. There’s been quite a few more but I don’t have all the photos. Quite strange looking back at all the odd cars and trucks we’ve had…  😉

Some of dad’s bikes…

I found a pile of old vehicle photos from my past. Here’s a few of the bikes I’ve owned over the years. There’s been more than this but these are the ones I have photos of…

The red scooter was the first vehicle I owned. I loved that bike!

Note: The black 750cc Katana arrives tomorrow thanks to selling the jet Kayaks last week  😉

Fun at Lake Hood!

We took Richard and Amy to Lake Hood for a play on the boats. Had a great time until the exhaust fell off one of the Kayaks! Better fix that this weekend!
