@saradreaming Heyup Sara, best regards back at ya for 2012! Real probs with pc and internet router connections again recently hence back log of YT vids to watch and upload latest mountain kit/trek vids that makes this prep video look like a walk in the park on the mildest day:-) Can only stay on the net for a very short while then disconnects.....man is it frustrating!! Hope to catch up with you again real soon. "Be safe out there" Cheers!!

Was that Miles Davis in the intro?

[MINDWISEMAN]

@crazybear357 "Highway Blues" by New Stories, don't know if there's a connection with MD? or taken from his type of music. Nice simple jazz :-)

Tis Christmas in the Colonies.

Its that time of the year when all stops are pulled out.

People turn into wild things in their attempt to obtain the ultimate gift at the last minute when it seems to be somewhat of a rite of passage to find oneself at the shopping complexes on Christmas Eve just for the heck of it. And this is where I also found myself this morning asking the eternal question " what in the hell am I doing here?"..lol

I hope you have a fantastic christmas and a happy new year mate.

[MINDWISEMAN]

@RDPproject Hope urbanville wasn't to much of a challenge lol :-) Hope you've interesting things lined up for yourself to do in 2012 m8. Lets hope we have good fortune in health and outdoors! Cheers!!
