All our stuff from Australia arrive. The container finally arrived and we took a day off to direct the unloading of the contents. The deal with the moving company was that we had a selection of our stuff to remain in Australia in storage and the all the other stuff to be transported to the US, simply right, wrong.
On unloading the contents I was pleased to see the bike bag all wrapped up safe and sound, and the golf clubs and then the large pieces of furniture and assorted boxes. Our inventory list showed we were due to receive 103 items and 70 items were to remain in storage in Sydney.
Well when the washing machine came off the truck I knew something was wrong, then came box number 109, then 128, then 115, and so on. Well we finally got 131 items delivered and thank goodness we had rented a garage in the unit complex or we would have been in real spacial trouble.
The truck unloads....
Our empty garage......
With some extra stuff from Australia.......
Lisa and I worked all weekend sorting through the boxes for the stuff we wanted to have out and the rest went back into boxes for now.
A few weekends ago we visited a local sports store - this is no ordinary sports store. Its a store for real SPORT, and that means, hunting and fishing. So when in Rome (ok, Harrisburg, but you get the picture)....
Hamster with a hunting rifle, with camouflage to boot....
And Lis gets into it too.... This is fun...
And if bullets are you're thing, there are plenty of arrows too.... These things are high tech...
While cruising around you can watch a video here and there where they have home videos playing of peoples hunting adventures and trying to explain how exhilerating it is to shoot a deer who is standing there in the woods under a tree where you climbed 17 hours before hand and waiting for a deer to walk under you. Ready, aim, fire. Pop goes the gun, jump goes the deer, flop goes the deer, down the tree coming the hunter, holds the deers head and smiles with glee.... like I said, Real Sport...
Work Story
Its going well and full of challenges. I am off to Germany again in March for a two week meeting so hopefully will have some more news to report form over there too.
I hope to get onto the bike when I return from Germany. I have unpacked the bike and have it half assembled. Pedals and rear derailleur to go and a few checks on handle bars and then its pump up the types and the rubber can hit the US roads.
Last month the weather was a tad cooler with some moisture in the air, the result is going out to the car to find the car in ice.
When it doesn't snow but rains and then the temp drops, see below for the results.
That wavey effect on the car is ICE. As the car is waxed the water beads and then freezes
Thats all for now.
Cheers.

Did you get a free bank account and ammo with the gun? Hunting Hamster. Now there is a good story. Sshhh, be vewy vewy qwiet, we're hunting wabbit. But seriously, how big are some of the hunting shops - they are huge in Canada too!
Looking forward to more regular updates from you once you get properly settled and the weather improves.
Chat soon,
Hello Hamster,
Great to see your little baby arrived. Hope you find some good training routes (pronounced roots)when the road are rideable.
Too funny about the washing machine,it will come in very handy.
All good this side of the pond. Give my best to Lisa.
I'm starting to worry about you Ham! Good to see the steed has arrived. Hope you get to turn the legs soon.
