Shortly off to the airport to board the big silver Jetstar bird, and hoping that it doesn't have RR engines............

Hope the beer's cold down there in Mexico! :wink:

And so it starts... :roll:

Just rang Col, he and the boys are already getting stuck into the Basin Trials, in the good company
of Mobes, Seejay, Pete, Shep and soon to be joined by Dave, Howie, Tafmo and Rhonda... :3some:

...guess I'd better put in a appearance... :drinkers:

Sorry guys, can't make it down. Dubai beckons.
Have a great time and stay out of strife.
Cheers, beers and birdies
Steve

Sorry you can't make it Steve, :cry:

if you're off to Dubai we may never see
you again...!!! :dontknow:

Meanwhile life was already careening towards a full-on weekend and after
talking to Col, I decided I just had to head down to the 'Basin Trials'
at 'The Frisco'... let's face it, somebody had to keep an eye on them all... :roll:

There was no 'sneaking up' on them... [-(

No sooner had I lifted my camera
to take this shot than Peter Weyling had already shot me... :shock:

Shortly thereafter, Tafmo arrived, so with a full house, it was time to take
the obligatory 'group bin-there shot' for evidence of attendance...

L to R: Mark 'Mobes' Mobley, behind him is yours truly, then behind me,
Howie Henderson, then Howie's daughter Anthea, seated next to Anthea
is Col 'Pussasan' Kelson, standing tall alongside Col is Robin 'Tafmo' King,
seated in front of Tafmo is Pete Weyling, and that's Chris 'Seejay' O'Keefe
about to throw up in his ear, Dave Warren's standing alondside Seejay, with
Steve 'Shep' Shepard seated in the front... Top turn-out for the 'day before'... :thumbright:

Pete Weyling was feeling very generous, not satisfied with buying jugs
of beer for the assembly, he felt an overwhelming desire to share his
secret with Seejay, giving him a packet of Pete's very own. "Wipe On
Sex Appeal"...! :shock:

Explains a lot really...!!! :lol:

:type:

I'm a bit worried about Seejay, you've got to remember he's not used to
'Daylight Saving' with an extra hour of daylight drinking time...! :drinkers:

I snuck off early, leaving the boys to their devices, :partyman:

see you all at
Jackson's on George for breakfast at 1000...! $\:D/$

The BBQ is smoking a way like 2 WWII DD's with a couple of Boston Butts a cooking, (pork roasts), at noon the chicken legs go on, and as the wife is not looking am having a beer, it's 0900 here.

Hears to you guys, Cheers from the GDY

As I type this i'm 2 sheets to the wind and still flying.

I was told that the BBQ was great, but the beer is real cold and going to get an other.

Thanks for the solidarity from way over there Wayne, as I type this, it's
0600 'Down Under' and in around 3 1/2 hours I'll be catching a bus
in for breaky with the boys at Jackson's on George to kick off the main
event, the 2010 8th Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Xmas
Pub Crawl Smokey... :partyman:

(The shot below is from the 2007's run...) :thumbright:

I suspect I won't be in too great a shape to post many photos by the time
I get back home tonight, but you never know, I've gotta stay 'reasonably :drunken:

intact' so I can host Sunday's Survivors' BBQ/ Cruise on Sydney Harbour... :roll:

O.K., I'm outta here... :wave:

There's an Oyzo and Coke :drinkers:

at Jackson's on George with my name on it... :partyman:

Watch this space... I'll be baaaaack...! :wav:

Well, it's late, I'm pissed, but I thought I'd upload a few teasers before I
hit the hay ahead of our big day tomorrow... no commentary just yet, just
a few photos, heaps more in due course... :finga:
