Yeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. Well color me pink and cook me for dinner.

Cool, it made it. That's awsome. Happy reading Sir Lawrance of Australia (who needs the queen to knight you eh?)

It starts..........

Wow, that was fast there Craig, well done.

Hesh, yes the book has a list of passage as well as a map with all the locations.

Hank, I certainly hope you'll be around to read the book, you're not old enough to have one foot in the grave yet my friend, hang tough. I'm sure that California sun is doing you good

Serge Brother, the only thing your French brain is going to have trouble getting around is that vedgemite is considered a food by those down under and that they actually like it. The rest is about guitars, you'll be fine.

Well, it didn't arrive today.    The first thing I've been asking my wife when I get home has been "Are there any packages for me?". I'm really looking forward to reading it.

It's here!

I also got my very first package from Stew Mac! I'm now the proud owner of a Safe-T-Planer.

Two presents in one day! Really made up for the crap day at work.

I just finished it this afternoon. But I won't be able to get it in the post until Monday .

Good book... The end was surprising. I don't want to give away too much, but the Butler did it. In the conservatory. With the candlestick.

He He, nice Joel.

Hey, do any of you Auzzie really know if Paul Burns from Sydney is really gone from the OLF? I sure hope not. Anyway, he gets the book after Claire (who is next) so maybe that will get him to come on back too.

Come back Paul, we need you here.

OK, back to the book. Did you find something to write in the book Joel and Lawrence? Hope so.

Hey, maybe Claire might consider coming over and picking it up from you this weekend.

Have a great weekend.

Did any of you read the comments on the ebay q/a regarding

i'm only trying to help here. the story about wayne henderson making a guitar for eric clapton is not true. i think your description is inaccurate. call wayne in rugby virginia and he'll tell you the same thing.

Either the guy posting the comment has an agenda or Wayne doesn't really want all the exposure.
