G'Day Everyone,
My name is Pete Boyd & Lester (Welder) promised me that I could be the Australian rep if I joined up. I think I may have been got at somehow. I live in Brisbane which is on the East coast around 27 deg South Latitude. I will not tell you my age but I was born in 1947. I served in the Australian Army for 20 years & retired in 1985. After that I did a few things....prawn trawler (shrimper) owner was one & with my wife Eva ran a small transport business. Retired in 1999 to go fishing. Currently have a 23' custom plate alloy boat being built for early Dec delivery.
I got back home yesterday after touring around the US by car for 80 days. We had the best time ever & certainly will be back.

Pete,

Just because you are the 1 and only member that lives 100% outside of the US (or I think you are) I have added you a special little logo. Like the Roo?

Matt & Lester,
Thank you for the logo. But you have given me two roos............well, one & a quarter anyway. But I will take whatever is available.
Should anybody wish to see pics of my new alloy boat being built, please say so.
Regards,
Pete at 27 Deg S

Welcome aboard Pete!

Garett, when did you move to Scottland? I thought you were in Canada?

Matt, unless Garett corrects me, how about a Maple leaf for Garett?

At any rate, glad both of you are here!

I wish it was easy to keep adding these special logo's for each member, but it is time consuming.

But if Garett really needs a Maple Leaf I might be able to work it out!
