How is everyone doing?  Good? Good.  Glad.  Awesome.  Sweet.  And moving on.  Hopefully you liked my little conversation, I am sure I could have thrown more slang and stuff in there but it pretty late and I am pretty tired right now.  I just got back from working on the farm for the last couple of months and it was really fun.  I learned a lot and didn't break too much stuff so it all worked out.  The last few weeks they have been sowing like I stated and Greg (one of the main men and Sarah's uncle) and I would wake up at 6 am and then get back home for tea (supper) at about 1130 pm 7 days a week.  Good stuff I tell you.  I am really glad that I came out here and got to work on the farm, another thing on my life list to check off in the possible jobs category.

Its getting cold here, I am currently cozied up by the fire typing my life out to any one who has enough spare time to read this.  I am sorry you have to resort to this, really.  Speaking of spare time, has anyone seen my brother lately?  Sarah and I were facebook stalking him and his new women, he looks like a mountain man that just stumbled down the hill.  Facebook him, you'll see what I mean.

Is it summer there yet?  I want to get out on the lake and do some skiing and what not.  I also love the new country jams that come out for the summer, they don't really do country here.  They do do sweet techno beats, yay.  There is a town called Yea (Yay) near by too, the built a tent city after the fires there for all the people that lost there houses to go.  It was really tragic stuff, drove through there last weekend and it would have been unimaginable to see how big and fast those fires would have been.  We are heading up that way this weekend to a hotel/spa combo.  Going to get my relaxation on before I head back to the U S of A.  There is an old mining village that we are going to stop by as well, should be interesting.  Also just watched the movie Australia, if you like pearl harbor you will love this moving.  If you didn't watch it anyways.  Its a lot easier for you to watch that then me try to describe what this place is like.

Well I hope this blog has been random enough for you all, I will leave it at that for now.  I'll hit you up after I get back from the spa for the weekend where I will have time to create new topics of discussion other then my total awesomeness.  And while we are on the topic of awesomeness, my best mate mike 't-bone' bleckwehl went ahead and got engaged.  So if you are reading this mike, congrats buddy!  Can't wait to congratulate you in person!  Right-o, back to me leaving...

Miss you all and talk to you soon!

We'll catch ya after!
