That is only half the saying... "Every cloud has a silver lining... Except the Mushroom Cloud!"

That sux about your bike, but I just want to point out that it wasn't vandalized, it was FCUKEN Destroyed!!!

I think that worst part of it all is that you have lost your girls. f#Ck the wife, you can get another one of those but your girls... Its heartbreaking.

No words like 'condolences' or 'sorry' can make things any better, but it is good to hear that you are indeed still with us. Life makes weird twists and turns, and we seldom understand it. Remember that you will always have friends here, and that we are there for you. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything you need from here (myself, Bugger, JohnHoffe, Keagan etc. all stay in a small radius - your ex-homevalley too). Stay in touch!
Hey Zero,
Like Pine said, if there is anything we can help with, in whatever small way, just shout.

Cheers,
John

Hallo guys

I know it's been a while since I logged in.The last 5 months have bee hectic.I lost my business completely because my brother sold me out.He went to do work in Gauteng and before I knew it,he started working for the company I was contracted to and and they stopped my contract due to a "conflict of interest".I had to find a job and fast.The recession already knock me on my ass and didn't need this.

I was then asked if I could help out in the Freestate on the CellC project because they were 2 months behind.I had to stay in Bloemfontein for a month and a half and during this time one of the guys saw what I was capable of and offered me a job ( Thank God!).I started working for CellC but had to move to Durban where I stayed for 2 1/2 months after which I was to go to East London.Fortunately one of the guys in PE wanted to go work in East London so they asked me if I wanted to go to PE...dumb question!

So in the last 5 months I've worked in 4 provinces.Natal (all the way up to Mozambique to the north,to the Transkei in the south and right up to Gauteng),Freestate( the WHOLE Freestate),Eastern Cape and half of the Western Cape.We are now working on the network in the Garden Route.Since August I've driven nearly 26 000 km's and seen places in SA I've never heard of and some I have only heard of.

During this time I had to deal with yet another suicide in the family when my cousin hung himself in October.It's not funny anymore!

I've taken a lot of pictures a will post them in "Spotted" soon.I tried to keep in contact with some of the guys on the forum and saw Lowlight in Pietermaritzburg,Bugger,Pine and HR in Jhb,e-mailed TonyZ,spoke to Karmakoma,fig,VW Crazy,Vader and VW Rules on the phone and forgot to phone Sambabus back :oops: Sorry,I will make up for that!I also spoke to Zeroaxe on Skype.

Thanks to everyone,I forget sometimes what good friends I have on this forum.Watercooled,what a pleasant suprise I got today.Thanks a million!!

I will try a visit more often.
Damn,I'm good!

He is still traveling around with me. We are patiently waiting for some other forum member to post his adventures during the George trip earlier this year. Then I will ad what happened after the George trip up to now.
