The Line Up - Daily Chat :)
We’re in Salt Lake City, Utah at the moment!
We’ve been on the road in the US for a month and travelled 10,000kms in the van. Loving life! 3 weeks to go til we fly back home to Sydney from LA. We’ve seen and done so much that the day we left Sweden feels like a year ago!
We’re here in Salt Lake just to rest, wash all our clothes, clean out the van of all the desert dust and replace the tyre we blew the other day, as well as do a bit of organising for the next stretch of travel…which is a bit complicated at the moment because of the US Government shutdown which has closed all the national parks at the moment :-(
It is a pretty tiring way of traveling living in the back of the van though but I wouldn’t change it. Doing it the cheapo way we’ve seen so much more than we could have otherwise afforded. Who knows if or when we’ll be back in the US again so really wanted to make the most of it and I feel like we really are doing that.
The last 10 days since Vegas have been awesome seeing so many awesome national and state parks in Utah and Arizona.
Camping 2 nights on the rim of the grand canyon and seeing 3 other people the whole time and nobody else around for miles and miles was amazing and definitely a highlight. Best sunsets and night skies with no light pollution!
When we go to moab the other day there was snow on the mountains…making me twitchy for sure!
Despite Qantas’ best efforts my Japan trip has now been and gone. Was a fantastic couple of weeks where I crammed a lot of experiences in spamming instagram with a few of them a long the way.
Bumped into Mizu (and grandbaby miz?) in Nara, unfortunately I couldn’t convince him to put on a pair of pants for the photo! 
Have washed away the drowsiness with a couple of hours at the beach. Time to catch up on the F1’s and final two episodes of Breaking Bad! 
Gotta thaw the balls out some way, after havin them sittin in the snow all winter!!!!!
Bruce woke up with a killer hangover after attending his best mate’s bucks night. He didn’t even remember how he got home. He looked at the clock and it was 11.30am.
What day is it? Thursday.. His missus must have gone to work.
As he struggled into consciousness through the fog of a pounding headache, his stomach plummeted as he wondered what the hell he did last night..
He forced himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a couple of Dispirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a little vase of sweet peas, freshly picked from the garden.
He sat up. The bedroom was clean and tidy, - there was no trail of drunkenly abandoned clothes, fresh air was coming in through the window and all was serene. He stumbled to the bathroom, also pristine, and, squinting gingerly into the mirror, saw that he had a black eye. This was not a good sign, but no memories were returning.
As he concentrated hard on getting the world into focus, he saw a post-it note stuck on the corner of the mirror. It was written in red, with little hearts on it and a kiss from his missus.
‘I’ll ring your boss and tell them you won’t be in today. Breakfast is in the oven. Try to eat something and go back to bed for the morning. iFish is on TV this afternoon. Take it easy today, hope your eye doesn’t hurt too much. See you tonight. I love you, darling!
Love,
Sheila. x ‘
He stumbled to the kitchen and sure enough, there was hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the newspaper. His teenaged son was sitting at the table, eating.
Bruce, bracing himself, asked his son what happened the previous night.
Well, you came home after 3 A.M., pissed as a parrot and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you vomited in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door. ‘
Confused, Bruce asked his son, ‘So, why is everything in such perfect order, Dispirins by the bed, a nice note from Mum and breakfast waiting for me?’
His son replied, ‘Oh THAT!... Mum dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your trousers off, you screamed,
‘Leave me alone ya’ bushpig! ..., I’m married!!’
Broken Coffee Table $350
Hot Breakfast $5.50
Two Dispirins 60 cents
Saying the right thing, at the right time…...PRICELESS
haha, bushpig….....wonder if my wife will like that endearing little nick name? Only one way to find out….......

i think you might be right. My drinking style allows for no beer spillage during the black eye event though!!
Dave and his buddies were hanging out and planning an upcoming fishing trip. Unfortunately, he had to tell them that he couldn’t go this time because his wife wouldn’t let him. After a lot of teasing and name
calling, Dave headed home frustrated.
The following week when Dave’s buddies arrived at the lake they were shocked to see Dave. He was already sitting on the dock, fishing rod in hand, and drinking a beer.
His buddies asked, “How did you talk your missus into letting you go Dave?”
Dave replied, last night I came home and slumped down in my chair with a beer to drown my sorrows thinking how much I wanted to go fishing.
Then the ol’lady snuck up behind me and covered my eyes and said, “Surprise”.
When I peeled her hands back she was standing there in a beautiful see through negligee and she said, “Carry me into the bedroom and tie me to the bed and you can do whatever you want”.
SO I DID AND HERE I AM!
Why can’t we get a recorded breaking COLD winter??? :-(
because they are getting them? because of the relative land mass size in the northern hemisphere compared to the southern hemisphere? Is this what “they” predict as climate alters? I dunno, as long as we don’t get the stupid hot summers. 
I prefer this type of shoey…...
