Hi Gary, I can see a time in the future when you might possibly be a lifesaver for me.
I live in Nowra, and have no transport apart from an electric pushbike, ~30km range.
In fact, a few weeks ago I had to do a trip to Sydney to drop off a finished scale model project - a 2-mile walk, then 4 taxis and 6 train rides counting line changes for the round trip. It took 11 hours all up, and that was with only about 2 hours in Sydney, (Taren Point). The walking parts were to save a few $$ on taxi fares, I walked from home into Nowra to get the first taxi, then from Bomaderry to Nowra to get a taxi home.

In that particular case, I'm glad I did it personally, since it was a birthday gift for an old friend, but I really appreciate your offer and will definitely keep it in mind for the future.

Working in Nowra?

I think Gary meant 50kg of goods, Ray, but just by coincidence, I am under 50kg.
I weighed 43kg at last count. I really am a weed of a bloke.
(Lost a bit of weight since I've been crook. Used to weigh in at a massive 51kg.)
Even carrying that parcel a few weeks ago, total weight would have been under 50kg.

Not good old fella hope its sorted soon. I wish even loosing 10kg would be beneficial to me.

G'day Hermit,

Don't know about being a life saver - my medical skills are about the same as my
woodturning. But any time I can help, just yell.

We travel to Culburra every couple of weeks to mow the lawn and escape theSydney
rat race. Then just sit and watch the grass grow !

Will PM you my contact details. If you don't get them in a day or so it will be because
I have stuffed up (again) and pushed the wrong button.

Meanwhile, hope the health improves,
Regards
Gary H

It's a permanent thing, (emphysema), self-inflicted by cigs. It doesn't slow me down too much yet, but I don't exert myself much now. I think the weight loss is muscle loss, since I don't do any heavy stuff any more.
Serves me right, and you'd think I'd learn, but I still smoke.

About that 10kg, we might be able to do a deal.

I got your PM Gary, and just replied. (You pushed the right button.)

As I mentioned, quite a set of coincidences lately. You must drive right by my place on your way to Culburra Beach. You've probably even seen me sitting on the front porch sanding.
