... and a couple of others, Terry. Gadget is having a cruise at the moment... has been out at the Airport

Not sure what time he is on the road tomorrow, expect him here sometime in the afternoon.
Will meet him out the road somewhere between here and Warrnambool.

I went out to my boss' workplace this morning for a chat and tour of colleagues workplace.
The
I then went and caught up with former colleagues at Australian Calibrating Services in Collingwood.

I'm thinking of getting away around 6:00 am and pootle along stopping at some scenic places.

Google says about 8 hours which will probably be around 10 or so with stops.
Cheers,
Gary

I will watch your progress tomorrow, and head towards you as the time arises... you should meet me on the road sometime around when you are in the vicinity of the wind towers at Yambuk - Codrington area.
