Back to Work - OUCH !!

I’ve been working out of country for a couple of years to earn a decent tax-free income. However, with the global economic downturn last year, and the radical decline in commodity prices, The project I was on was shut down before Christmas and I’ve been without an income since. Not that I haven’t been working mind you, a farm has a never ending list of things that need doing, so I’ve been working, just not earning.

Anyway, the ouch part is that I went for a pre-employment medical today, and had to renew almost all of my travel vaccinations. I hate needles (except acupuncture) and I got royally needled this afternoon. I’m leaving for deep dark Africa again soon, and I have but a few short days to finish off all projects in progress, and treat my machines for storage conditions. It is going to be at least a couple of months before I get to use them again.

My Goldie restoration will just have to wait for my return. At least all my parts orders should have arrived by then.

I do hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. Thank you for your participation here and for your tolerance. There are times that we, as a group, can become a real challenge. We'll be looking forward to your return.

Deep, dark Africa....I don't know....I hate snakes and I don't like mosquitoes.

Hopefully you'll have internet access. If so, don't be a stranger.

Chop, chop....get to work finishing up you stuff so that you can leave with a clear conscience.

Ya, I guess. But I have NEVER been bitten by a mesquito.

Yup. I normally pay attention to spell checker results but not this time.

Now, I gotta get out there and cut up that stack of mosquite.

So you can delete a post if you do it quickly enough.
