OK, This will end for this evening...

>>Wow. And to think my wife took her Angorra blouse and sweater and tossed them in the dryer. Now suitable for an infant - they would be worth a fortune!

>at least a jug...

Jug, is it? Gee I don't seem to remeber those...hmmm.

>>I hate you.

>aww... such pleasantry...

Just a knee jerk reaction. My envy showing through :>)

>>Interesting, your 'yuck' to Auckland. I would have applied it to Wellington :>)
>Auckland = large city in NZ trying very hard (and succeeding) in becoming a larger, US city

Yep, that was my take on it.

>Wellington = same as above but populated with Government officials... no real chance of success

Seemed 'industrial' to me, but you know about first reactions.

>Use the heli's sometimes... but in knee high (to a sheep) snow, you have to chasee them down in a picket line... first you have to make a little snow path... then get them to walk on it... hard going sometimes... but great fun....

Sounds it!

>my flatmate is a pilot (single props) so we go up in the mountains quite often... his partner hates it so we always go... she has to pick us up from the pub afterward though... lol

AND THE BEER! Yes indeed.

>>Thanks. Now, can I pay off my credit card in this decade?
>
>Not likely.... if I can't you can't either...

Sigh. And no kids to will my debt to either.

Thanks for the great chat, Ric.
