G'day mates,

This is a short entry to get this whole thing started.  Haley and the kids left New Zealand in late June for the USA.  There they had fun in LA and bought a car and headed to Albuquerque. 
Meanwhile I have been hard at work packing up the house and finishing half of the vineyard jobs that needed doing.
The Youngs are successfully moved in to Sierra del Sol and hopefully enjoying the country lifestyle.

I left NZ for Sydney on the 18th of August and have been surfing and having fun with whanau and friends. 
I went fishing with Hugh in "Barry's Boat" (thanks Barry).  I caught a Blue Swimmer crab that drew blood from both Hugh and I!  Hugh caught a nice flat head for breakfast but then dropped it overboard while gutting it!

Garreth and I have been to the gym twice and now I can barely lift a beer to my lips! Golfing with Garreth

I have been enjoying watching the olympics and eating wonderful meals prepared by Linda.

I leave for Vancouver on Thursday where I will meet up with my three babies!  Can't wait!

Hope this thing works?
