Go, Matt! Hey Matt, long time, looks like you sure have been busy over there, with a lady love I see??? I see you are coming home at Christmas, are your parents still here in Palmy? If so I'd love to catch up with you. Robbie has grown up heaps since you were here last, can really give that soccer ball a good kick! Talk to you soon, love Kina
SOme things just stay the samo Hey fella, its been a while since yr last update, but I see some things just stay the same! What is with you and cars???. Mate, u shud b locked up puttn yr poor ol Dad thru all that! Anyway, it does sound like you've settled down. I heard a rumour in the office that you r now hitched up but I find that one hard to believe!!! Blame that one on Slog. Will b intersting 2 see what spring brings you!
somethings/people never change! Hey Matty,
you just crack me up! when will you learn that catching the public transport that is available to you will only ever be the most efficient way of you getting from A to B without a breakdown.
New Plymouth is pretty cool and the sunsets from oilrigs are certainly something! As for you.....welcome to the spring and enjoy it, for when you meet the summer, it will be something else!! Always great to hear your stories dude!
When you get your car going....... hmm When you say finally get your car going, I only have thoughts of your mini which never got fixed and sat in your parents garage, the esky and then the combi both of which went maybe 50% of the time but never legal....
You tripped some girl over with the tow rope... That would have been great to see. Hehe
Keep the stories coming and progress reports on the car!!
Poor Tui I thought about filling Tui with some space invading foam to make him stronger, but then thought about this scenario at airport security. A male in his mid 20's carrying a knome through customs that has been broken and glued back togeather and filled with an unkown substance. Now thats just asking for the rubber glove. Im going to leave the repairs to the only person suitable for the job. Dr Nick Riveria. You know, he did Homers heart bypass operation, and Helped out Mr Mcgreg, who now has a leg for an arm, and an arm for a leg.
Happy New Year Thankfully no rubber gloves to welcome in the new year. I got Jessie what any girl would want for christmas. A new pair of Daisy Duke cut off jeans, some new mud flaps for her pickup truck, and tickets to a monster truck rally.
So which one of the rotoma boys was the first to get a paper cut? My money is on Pete.
Happy New Year So did he get out the rubber glove at the air port?? If I was stuck doing air port security on New Years Eve I would probably be a real bitch as well.... What happened to poor old Tui? Glad you had a good Christmas, sounds like you did as much eating and drinking as the rest of us :-) I hope you got Jesse a good Christmas presant, shiney stuff is good, gold is even better!!!
Burt Reynolds, my idol. Hey Burt, thanks for the beard support. I am envoyous of your sweet beard. Im saving up to get a 1980 trans-am like you had in the bandit movies. They are going fairly cheap in trailor parks now. Go Bandit!
The pirate angle I never consider the pirate angle Ian. Im getting a haircut today.I look a little to scruffy when im not wearing a hat, and christmas is only 2 days away. Im keeping the beard tho.
Driving home Tried driving back for christmas, but we still got stuck in a snow bank. I got a ride with a guy from work. He had a big coffee, and about an hour out of town he needed to pee. He was like screw it im pulling over. There was a little side road but he cut the corner too much and hit soft snow which pulled the car in. We got towed out by a big pick up.
No babies planned. I hear they are more expensive than a Ducati. Ive got my prioroties sorted.
beard progress yes well 7 weeks, looks pretty good. good to see your going the beard. not just a goatie which is - so boring - how about losing the mo, and going for the capt ahab look?
You really are jinxed Even when you have everything planed and allow heaps of time to make the plane and get to work the next day, something goes wrong and you still manage to be late for work!! Nice beard, poor Jesse that has to put up with it, don't tell Nigel he might get bad ideas in his head. When is the baby due??
Biggles the cat Hey Angela, Yes theyve already changed the locks on me twice. No not really. Jesse's family has been great to me.
And for those who dont know, biggles was a stray cat we "adopted". Really mum and dad said dont let the cat inside, and as kids who wanted to play with a kitten, we may have left doors open a little longer than normal. And fed him.
Hey Matt, Glad to see you've done a Biggles and adopted yourself a new family. How many times did they try to lock you out before they finally gave in and let you stay? ;o)
No cheese Baxter Oh Baxter, you certainly are mans best friend, and a friend to all bears. Thanks for the well wishes. Im having a great time, and have been at my new job for over a week. And no you cant have a whole wheel of cheese.
(for those who dont know what im on about watch anchorman the movie)
Matt..arf....arff.....ARF!!! Dearffff Matt,
Bark bark bark arf ruff ruff arf bark bark bark bark bark!!?
Arf arf arf baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark bark bark bark.
Please feed me an entire wheel of cheese bark.
In English please! Bark bark bark.
Love,
Baxter, your little southern gentleman...you'll take me to foggy London-town.
#1 Fan Sounds like you are having a great time, tell Jesse to slap you around a bit every now and then to keep you in line =). Congrats with the new job you have to let us know how it all goes. The work truck looks a bit bigger than the old esky!
Hi Ian, i was going to call the knome Norman, but someone else called him tui and i tought that was heaps better. We even ignored all the safety guidelines by jumping out of our car with cameras ready when we thought we saw a bear, but we got nothin. I may have to leave a pot of honey out to get that bear. All the rubbish bins in the national park are bear proof.

Tui?
Ok Matthew where did you get Tui? Has he been with you on your whole trip? This is my first time checking out your site so Tui is new to me!
