I finished work last Wednesday and we have packed up and moved on to Temora for the weekend to see Lib's parents and to get some minor repairs done to Bess.
Bess was booked into the mechanics on Friday to have the brake pads replaced but when they took off the brakes they found that the disc rotors had been cracked and needed replacing. And to compound this problem the old discs had been machined because the bearings were a non standard size and so the new discs needed to be machined as well. All this means we are homeless for the weekend and hopefully will have Bess back by Monday. It puts us a day back in our plans but as we are now in no hurry and getting used to the idea of "slowing down" again, it is a minor set back.
Lib and I have also decided to take the plunge and quit smoking again. She is going onto the patches while I am taking Champix. Our official quit date is 19/02/2010. Cheers to us. This time it will work. I estimated that in the last 10 months of work we would have saved an extra $4000 if we had not been smoking. Holy Cow! We could have had an extra 2 months holiday....
Asha and Charlie are both well and Charlie is coming along very nicely in his training.
