Thanks Pup champion job, it sure is hard being separated from this guy. Hope we can be reunited soon 

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

How about that
Danica thinks you must be looking after your tree better than mine
I think a Job in the West is just a phone call away. Have to dab the toe in the water very soon.

Ha ha, I happen to be celebrating with Chivas this after noon. First bottle in a long time but it is a special occasion.
I did forget to thank you for looking after my tree didn't I. How bloody Rude. Thanks mate it is most appreciated, next bottle of Chivas is on me.
