'Done' most of the bush-walks in Tasmania.

Spent around 3 years making a quilt - the design is a traditional Amish one which is over 100 years old. It is called  "double wedding ring", and from what I have read is the design that is most popular for new brides.

I'm quite proud of the job I have - especially because I dropped out of high school, and failed anything to do with maths.

Cool! That must be fun driving all the machinery.

AS for the quilt, I find that level of patience and dedication amazing! I suspect you keep the quilt in a very safe place.....heheheheh. :lol:

Yeah, another bodybuilder! Whoohoo!  Are you a long haul trucker? And if so, how do you find the time and place to train?

[jtest28]

No long hauls anymore. Thank God.

That's amazing. I heard a female opera singer practicing while she walked up the street a few years ago, and it was beautiful. I was fascinated by her voice.

What's a diffculty music festival?

And crashing your bike by going too slow has got to be one of the most pathetic things I've heard in a while!!!! HA HAHA!!! Just kidding with you. :lol:

One of my goals in life I haven't accomplished yet it to travel. You're so lucky to have seen the world. I can't wait until I can go.

[Assault]

LOL.

No long hauls anymore. Thank God.

Oh, I guess that must make getting to the gym and stuff no problem then, right?

I would imagine long haul trucking would suck. I don't think I could do it, but local stuff....for sure.

Are you a powerlifter?

You see how I deftly made the connection between weight, weight training, and his name? If I'm right, I'm a smarty!! :lol:
