Jafo Embarks On A Road Trip
And only 36 years since the last one.....
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 by Jafo | Discussion: Community
Tomorrow morning [Friday, Aus time] I'm on a plane to the US and Canada. All things going well [the US doesn't chuck me out for being unintelligible] I'll be visiting all the great guys and gals at Stardock HQ.
Yay for me..... It's been a loooong time coming. I've known these guys for about a decade so it'll be a 'buzz' to finally catch up with them in 'Real Life' [tm].
In all of my history with skinners/skinning I've only met 3 skinners before, all of whom were from Oz, like me.....so this will likely be sensory overload [or something]...
I have a beat-up old laptop that'll hopefully keep me in contact here on my travels....and if I get a chance on the road I'll try to post the odd pic or two, but I'll likely not be on quite as frequently/long as is usual.
If you've the inclination to PM or otherwise contact me re issues with Wincustomize and/or its inhabitants it may be a better bet for the next few weeks to badger Island Dog in lieu.....[he yearns for your contact]....
Hopefully I can get one or two group mug-shots at Stardock on the 16th to show you what an ugly - er - wonderful bunch of people they all are....
Take care of each other...I'll be busy taking photos....
Cheers,
Paul.

You're going to love taking the train through the Rockies, and you'll probably get to see the fall colours in Northern Ontario. They are amazing. I hope you enjoy it.

Enjoy your vacation, recharge the batteries. We'll try not to break Spencer while you're gone.

Was he planning to do that? I agree that the ride to Calgary from Vancouver is truly breathtaking, and a tribute to the brave men who built the railroad.

Gotta go...it's Thursday night....Friday am and I'm off...

Have a safe trip.
I wonder if he gets cavity searched at customs?

Bon voyage Jafo, and a very safe trip. Be sure to post a lot of full head shots for us to work with.

I'll notify homeland security. They want to talk to you. 
Reply #34 Thursday, August 27, 2009 11:22 PM
Yup, the (greying) ginger nut will be airborne now.... let's all hope he has a safe and comfortable flight.

That'd be right... buggering off without me again.

Never mind about room in the bags for you and your daughter, what about room for the tinnies?
Reply #38 Friday, August 28, 2009 12:00 PM
Yup, that's more important.... otherwise Jafo's going without a decent beer while away.
Not only that. after sampling Bud and the like, he'd come back calling their stuff "cat's piss."

...otherwise Jafo's going without a decent beer while away.
To quote Monty Python from their show at the Hollywood Bowl (1982) - the Aussie act, by Bruce, Bruce and Bruce:
(Standing proclaiming, while throwing cans of Fosters to the audience)
Your beer over here, compared to ours, is like making love in a canoe - fucking close to water....

That can be hazardous if you don't swim too well... miss a stroke and you puncture the canoe.
