Well I for one would be rb, if I was in Brissie & looking for a feed of Ribs & Pizza.

I took the big step yesterday and submitted my resignation, effective September 20. So that's great.
Retirement is looking good. We will halve our income, but eliminate all debts, so according to our financial plan we should be fine. If not, I'll be looking for bulk discounts on baked beans and dog kibble.

First trip already planned. We have to attend a birthday party at Lawn Hill NP on September 27, so that gives a week to do 2132 kms. Easy.
Now I have the perfect excuse to buy some toys for the Defender and camper.
Already bought a 12 volt electric blanket to keep The Navigator toasty and ordered a fire pit. Planning a steering guard, tinting and an upgraded sound system.
Who hoo! Looking forward to turning off the alarm forever.

You should dress like one too on your last day then! What are they going to do - fire you?

Take his Cutlass & fancy Blingy rings away from him I reckon.

An early "Welcome to the Club", Mike.
I still struggle with "So much to do and so little time" syndrome. I suppose is just all relative to the life.

Just imagine, after the birthday do, you'll have all the time in the world to organise the next get together, ay?

Sounds good. Where? Seems to be some indecision among the locals.
I should have mentioned that after Lawn Hill we will be on the road up north until early December.
Maybe some kind of pre-Christmas do might work?
We're also considering Tassie in February-April, so lots of travel on the horizon.
