How's the new house? Just got back from a trip up to Pauanui, got a few baubles and a little bit of cash. Stopped in at Waihi and hit a couple of parks there. I think you must have been there before me. Sometime I want to do the A and P showgrounds there and it could be a good day out for you me and Al. Cheers Colin
