Maybe next year.......

Post by: ja17 on July 27, 2005, 23:54:08: Hello Guys,
Weather forcast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Blacklick, Ohio is sunny and the high temperatures in the low to mid 80s.
Sorry some of you cannot make it.

Cees, my friend, I will see you soon. Not much has changed here in Blacklick, since your last visit, two years ago.

Post by: Cees Klumper on July 28, 2005, 00:12:59: Hi Ennio - very good work you're doing out there. Yes we could definitely use help in pulling together a fun event ("Blacklick, France" or "Blacklick, Switzerland" sound good to me?!). I'll be in touch on that.

Looking forward to running the old Gravely lawn mower again Joe (I won't let it go its own course like I did in 2003). On the plane in a few hours here ...

The 35 hours flying time (oneway) is a great dis-incentive to me in the land down under.

I will make it one day but for now, Have a great weekend!

I will live vicariously reading all your correspondence on here and looking at the pictures you post for the rest of us.

Post by: ja17 on July 28, 2005, 18:22:55: Hello Bob,
Yes tell me about that long plane ride. When we flew back from Adelaide Australia in November,we were traveling nearly 40 hours. We saw the sun rise and set twice in one 24 hour period!

However it was worth the effort, Australia is a beautiful country with very warm and friendly people.

Travelled up to Brisbane and the Gold Coast area a few times. Wonderful place.
