David, get the con note number. Most freight companies have on line tracking. My scope was in Tas and undelivered and I found it by looking up the con note details and managed to get it a day earlier by picking up from the depot.

I do believe I saw it steam past early this morning while I was at the ocean surfing! Just joking dave! I didn't really see the ship....But I DID see some saw-dust washed up on the beach, I just automatically assumed it had gone past just before I arrived! Just as well saw-dust dust floats, otherwize I would never have been able to tell your dob was on board! What a stroke of luck hey!??

Oh, and I believe I found something interesting while I was at the beach! it was oval in shape, about 50mm in diameter, really REALLY shiny! On the back of it was written 'dob' or something like that.....I didn't think it was overly important, so I chucked it back in the water! It was the weirdest looking 'shell' Iv'e ever found!

expensive shell.

I will ask Lee for a connote tomorrow. I didn't want to appear too anxious or excited. You guys would not have noticed any excitement in my typing or comments.

is it here yet?

Lee likes to add a bit of tension,but only if he hears the excitement and or desperation in your voice.In your case it should arrive mid January 2008

OK Dave, I can see my humour is wearing thin on ya! Seriously, I feel your pain...If you wanna call it that. The anxiety involved is not nice. She'll turn up eventually! I actually enjoy the wait these days, Just keep humming this tune...."there's a fine line between pleasure 'N' pain.........."

Why the hell not? ;D Check the letter box, it may have been squeezed in there.

Shhhhhh! Don't tell Dave, Peter (toetoe) and I hijacked it for a day on it's way through Albury/Wodonga to try it out, and make sure everything was in order.
