Re: What are you doing today ??
Yesterday...but we had an internet outage so posting today ANZAC day (25/04/24) and having quite a few ex-servicemen offshore, we always have a dawn remembrance service out here on the helideck at sunrise. I really should have thought to bring a NZ flag out, as the Aussie's are good at forgetting th...

Re: What are you eating ??
Chinese food!! Found a neat hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant...good food, if a tad pricey....but then again even McDonald's is pricey these days. And I have a birthday cake to plough through later, as I "reportedly" turned 57 today, although I deny any knowledge of this. The cake is hu...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Well the universe must have decided I needed a break (lol) Was suppose to fly out to work yesterday but helicopter broke down and they had to wait for a part. So the whole crew was put up in a great hotel in Dili and had a relaxing 24 hrs, few evening drinks at a expat bar, a good sleep in and break...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Really sorry for your situation mate. How is Jorja through all of this? (please forgive me if I spell her name incorrectly) She was pretty upset at the drama at his mums, and there was a few instances last year as well, so she’s well over it and very sensitive to any conflict at all. I’m hoping it’...

Re: What are you doing today ??
I thought you’d been quiet. It sounds like the right thing for him. I assume his mum is ok with him now full time with you? Hopefully they can slowly rebuild their relationship but I guess that’s going to get time. I bet you do need a break! Unfortunately she is being very unreasonable, holding no ...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Aww f**k Cav, sorry to hear all that mate ;( that’s a rough ride. All I can say is remember it always swings. The tough times don’t last forever and you have a beautiful family that’s about to get bigger and some time in the future you’ll be loving every moment of it. You always know where to find m...

Re: What are you doing today ??
At Darwin on my way to work. It’s been a hell of a break at home. Total break down in relationship between my son and his mum. Won’t even answer her messages. He’s now full time with us, including while I’m away. With him having ASD and also recently being diagnosed with ADHD and undergoing a drug t...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Not today but on the weekend.. With all the stress life is throwing my way I thought a couple hour blast on the Thruxton was in order. It’s been about 4 months since I took it out. Seemed really slow to start, heaps of battery and cranked fine but didn’t want to fire. Finally got it going and headed...

Had a cold day, and it killed my starter. Maybe leaving it on the stone bench wasn’t the smartest idea.

Re: What are you doing today ??
In other news I got too much FOMO with everyone eating hot cross buns when I can’t (yeast intolerance) even though I used to love them. Searched for sourdough versions but nothing available locally. So researched making my own sour dough versions (which i can tolerate) and am 3 days into maturing a ...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Few drinks at home after a very full on week. Bringing an Autistic teenager down off the edge is consuming. At the same time have been working through a list of obstacles to Byron being at mine full time while I’m still offshore, and removing a lot of them. Including securing $14K a year of funding ...

Re: What are you doing today ??
Well that was a short swing. Having to fly home early again, the ex has managed to cause Byron to meltdown majorly again. He’d barricaded himself in his room and said if he can’t go to mine he’s going to run away. So heading back. Going to have to work out a way for him to be at mine full time. Hopi...

Re: Work
I take it there's no one at at HR you can talk to you get a better picture for the next 12 months? Nah, this is all down to Operations. HR have zero clue or effect on when we'll wind up. Nearly all the long term core crew guys out here are feeling like me. That's what makes it worse, the moral here...
