Yesterday was my mum’s bday, happy bday! (I rang her on the phone yesterday – so it’s not like I forgot, this is an additional bday greeting – maybe it’ll buy me some time next year \ud83d\ude09 ).<\/p>\n

Once again my stay on this vessel is coming to an end and the silly season is just about to begin. This time home is going to be a hell of a rush.
\nDave (Salty) arrived back on the rig the other day with a smile so wide that his head was about to split open; this time home he went across to Florida to arrange the purchase and shipping of his new boat. He got it off Ebay with a little help from myself and I got a pretty awesome shirt for the trouble – thanks Dave! Looks like Karma has struck again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Being that I’m still relatively new to my job, each time I’m out here I learn about tools that I haven’t really approached before, this usually comes around because of some weird circumstance (ie: for some reason we need to take the tool apart, or I’ve been asked to get it back into town and I don’t have a clue what people are talking about, taking a few days research before I find out what I need to know about it). This time it was the overshot fishing tool (can be fitted with different grapples as per picture below) and I learnt more about the indicator assembley inside the casing cutting tools – and that it’s fine for the tool to be operated without it.<\/p>\n

The list of things to do at home this time is huge, I do get 4 weeks to do them in (conversly my next hitch out here is also 4 weeks long) but looks something like this:<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Buy BBQ<\/li>\n
  • Buy Xmas presents<\/li>\n
  • Buy outdoor setting<\/li>\n
  • Hold birthday BBQ<\/li>\n
  • Try to organise a fence (not sure if I’m going to build this myself yet – Im a bit short on tools (and I’ve never built a fence before)).<\/li>\n
  • Buy more bricks for paving<\/li>\n
  • Meet up with HB Plummage<\/li>\n
  • Go to Sydney
    \n
    \n
      \n
    1. Climb harbour bridge<\/li>\n
    2. If there is Bungee, Jump it<\/li>\n
    3. Dinner @ Kays<\/li>\n
    4. Meet up with Rachel (two Rachel’s in Sydney, so both)<\/li>\n
    5. Maybe go see a show at the Opera House – see what’s on<\/li>\n
    6. Get really drunk and play games\/go clubbing<\/li>\n
    7. Watersports<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      And that about sums it up I think…… we’ll see what evantuates. Next time home of course = Japan… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
