Bad memories from 10 years ago when I spent a lotta time working on
software.

OTOH in the last couple weeks, I've seen one ship off on patrol and
another one off on a resupply cruise, spent a few days sailing my toy
boat, had an excavator dig 100 metres of trench for my barn and done
most of the forming up for the footings, sunk a few jugs of margaritas
& beers with friends back from a long cruise, and flown off to see my
kids.

Nothing is happening here so 1% of my attention is about right.

Perfect fishing pond I swear!

Nah. Boring.

Ptui.

Barn? pole barn, cinder blocks, steel?

I'm doing a job that requires working everyday. It really
sucks!

Timber frame, steel cladding/roof.

That's true. I do my best to avoid it. Which is why I got to spend my
'free' time debugging ship software systems via cellphone and INMARSAT
when I should have been drinking last night....... hardware failure of
a GPS after a bad gale somewhere arounf 64S. Got 2 others aboard but no
techs on that ship ATM so explaining how to patch the data thru from
the backup unit got a bit interesting.

Oh well. No point making the system completely idiot proof, then
there'd be no need for idiots like me to go play nursemaid.

Your sailing weather must be getting close now. I'm about to do some
more mods to my toy boat rig, see what happens. Having a workshop 100m
from where the boat sits saves a lotta time.

Howq much land do you have Peter, and what
sort of crops/livestock?

In Tasmania I've got 3.5 acres on the water. No crops as such, just a
lot of fruit trees for domestic consumption & trading for other stuff I
haven't time/interest in growing. As for livestock, why bother when the
wildlife is so prolific and the fishing in the bay so good.......

I have a 600 acre place in NSW. Used to run cattle, now I just grow
trees. Boats are more interesting.

What sort of trees are you growing in NSW?

I'm thinking about starting a tree farm here. I like
the idea of planting them and then just waiting. Not
much work involved after the initial start up.

I can't imagine why I should *try* to troll, Bobspit apparently gets
some sort of perverse satisfaction from doing it; I don't want to join
his club.

Both Mikes are crusing

yeah, one is anyway... Schoonertrash is still floating around on a big
ship delivering ordinance to our fine fighting force in Iraq. Not sure
that fits anyone's idea of cruising.

Barb and I are enjoying our third season cruising Mexico, thinking
about making a plan to expand our horizons next season. Getting tired
of tequila, thinking about going to Rum country or somewhere they chew
betel nuts. Happen to be in a marina at the moment, with wifi on the
boat, thought I'd check in and say hi!

Best to all our old virtual friends!
