GerDay All,
Gabby was concerned about my welfare, so I figured I would do a response here and bring everyone up to speed - as far as I intend to, in any case.
I am alive and well and that's about it. Nothing else to add, really. Have some issues at the moment so haven't been "in the mood". Even my best friend hardly hears from me.
I have been nominated to do a singing competition. Now, I am not a competitive person, so am not all that enthusiastic. Added to that, this is the second biggest country music festival in this country. I have never even been to a festival so I have no idea what to expect.
Add to that the fact of the matter is that I have no illusions about my ability to sing, so I am quite ambivalent about the whole idea.
Here is 2 versions of the one song so you can be sick!!! lol
Indy & Lynda from Wales singing Working Man
Indy singing it on his own.
As you can see from that, I sure as hell am not gonna compete with professional singers and a few semi professional ones at this event. That would be lunacy!
Kindest Regards
Indy

Just A Quickie
GerDay All,
Got some schnitzenkrugen happening at the moment so may not have anything here for a few days or so. I won't bore you all with it. Hell, I'm boring enough as it is without displaying that stuff here, so will catch you all in a few days.
Anyone want a headache? Hahahaha
Orooooooo

Hmmmm
Not sure about this. I don't usually reveal too much in my blogs because .... well ... I just don't.
I should be asleep right now, if you look at the time it was posted, but I have tried to sleep and it isn't happening. Just a bit concerned about a thing or two, although, surprisingly enough for one as self absorbed as I tend to be, it has nothing directly to do with me. Maybe I should exercise what little faith I have and say a prayer or two, huh?
Just thinking out loud, so to speak.
Yeah! Hmmm seems like a good title.
Now, do I hit the "save now" option or the "publish"?
If you're reading this, then I published! Gotta grin at that at least.

The Ute
GerDay All,
This is sort of a by way of to show you what a "Holden Rodeo 4 Wheel Drive Turbo Diesel" looks like. Mine is a little different to most because my hobby is Amateur (or "Ham") Radio, so I have a few antennas on the old girl.
You will notice that both my ute and the one parked next to it in one of the photos have both got driving (extra) lights and bull bars (you people may call them moose bars or similar). These are not affectation out here. Without them you would be buggered and would write your vehicle off many times each year on wandering stock, roos, emus and a whole heap of other critters. Literally.

Para below refers to picture above.
The penetration of those driving (additional bright) lights has to be seen to be believed. Over the years I have had just about every make and model, size and shape of driving light and these knock everything else off the map including 12 inch bull lights.
That bullbar is heavy duty steel and weighs in at about 300 pounds. There are 7 working antennas on the ute! I have spoken to all parts of Australia, New Zealand and even USA just driving around in the old thing!
See? We all have extra lights and bull bars out here! It is a necessity!
Just thought y'all might be interested!
Kindest Regards

Have A Listen
GerDay All,
First of all, I promise that I will return to everyone's pages and new posts and make comments. This week (actually the last couple) have been pretty busy, but also have had some ......... well ..... I just have had a couple of things on my mind, is all. I am sure that we all go through times when for one reason or another, we either become self absorbed or have ..... considerations that prevent us visiting our "normal" behaviour upon others.
Actually, I have just read Terry's latest post and I think the following video kind of ties in pretty well with it - although not in the way she would expect. The message behind this song is how I try to live my life with regard to those whom I regard highly.
The video is not mine , nor have I anything to do with it, but it starts off kind of ...... humourous, I guess, but the song is absolutely beautiful and the rendition is superior even to the original artist (whom I won't name for fear of giving it away).
As I said, I try to make sure that everyone I care for know just that and, hopefully, just how much I care.
Kindest Regards
Indy

Not So Profound Reponse!
GerDay All,
Young TruckinTedEBehr has tagged me and requested and required that I copy and paste and answer eleventy seven questions - so here it is. I will not be tagging anyone else (certainly not 25 as requested because I doubt I even know 25 people on the internet!).
Here goes:-
1. What time did you get up this morning? 4 AM
2. How do you like your steak? Medium Wel Done - no blood!
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? I haven't a bloody clue. What's a cinema? Truckin'TedEBehr said ----> Monsters Vs. Aliens and Star Trek at the drive in (I didn't even kno drive ins still existed! Wow)
4. What is your favorite TV show? I never watch TV of if I do it is Rugby Union!
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Hay, NSW Australia or anywhere else in God's Great Garden. Next option would be with the woman I love but that is problematical!!!!
6. What did you have for breakfast? Some sort of cereal
7. What is your favorite cuisine? Bush tucker
8. What foods do you dislike? All that arty farty crap they serve in overpriced joints that give you 37 different courses, none of which are particularly appetising, filling nor appealing and are only a half morsel anyway!
9. Favorite Place to Eat? At a table.
10. Favorite dressing? Naked blondes/brunettes/redheads. Just kidding! I don't eat rabbit food!
11.What kind of vehicle do you drive? You people would never have heard of it. I will put a photo up on a subsequent post. A Holden Rodeo 4WD turbo deisel "space cab" utility.
12. What are your favorite clothes? Anything that does what it is supposed to!
13. Where would you visit if you had the chance? USA (again), Canada and maybe Ireland and Wales.
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? Irrespective of what's in it I feel like it is completely full because life is so good for me as a rule!
15. Where would you want to retire? What's that? I don't ever intend to retire!
16. Favorite time of day? Dawn or sunset - especially in the desert.
17. Where were you born? Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

20. Person you expect to tag you back first? N/A
21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this? I am not curious. I expect people will contact me and tell me stuff if they wish or not if they don't.

26. What did you want to be when you were little? Buggered if I know!
