GKPE 8, Yet more NZ ramblings from some flightless Kiwis.

What do you guys reckon is a good price to sell a very rarely used (less than 5X) Canon 2X extender? I think it is time for me to let go of this given I do not use it as much as I should. At this point, I think a bichon frise - poodle cross might bring me (and the family) more joy... Cheers.

The smiling Wookie is scary.......


Looks like we now have a benchmark for this Friday

Looking forward to it.

Is anyone adverse to Boewers - South African sausage for the BBQ this Friday? Should I bring wine or beer?

Would love a bit of Boewers!
I'm going to bring some Choco, who was a hand reared beast from a friends farm. Some of the best steaks I've ever had.

Also going to stop at the Super Liquir on Avimore drive, they have a good selection of boutique beers.

just found i wont be able to make friday been asked to do 12hour shifts, few of our guys need to go to Christchurch to do some work. so 2 of us will stay here to cover all the shifts all for a good cause.

will have to try for the next one.

Yum yum!

Kerry-Sue took this one yesterday while I was driving. It's a bit blurry, but I think it works!

Boewers it is then, and some good beer too!

Bugger...

Look at that rowdy bunch of reprobates!

Was good to see you Peter, catch up with everyone again and to meet a few new faces. As Mrs Tongmaster rightly pointed out, as much as it's being camera nerds that brought the table together last night, it does make for a pretty cool and diverse bunch of people sat round a table.

It was made all the easier by you all contributing. The salads, cake, beer, sausages etc and the people make for a good night.

It was great to meet you Geoff, Pat and Xander. Hopefully we can organise another outing before you go home.

PS. Dave, I owe for the beer. and Peter, thanks for doing the dishes this morning!

That's a bit of a bummer. Guess I'll just have to come again sometime.

Had a great day on the harbor this morning before heading North.
