Wheres Tommo?

Hi Bob,

I'm doing well and my team are working harder than ever, the insurgents are sure keeping us busy over here! I still have not got my Snow trac to my home town, my brother has it stored at his place for when he can find the time to travel down to where i live and drop it off? I'm itching to restore it! Photo's will appear as soon as the Snow Trac appears.

Regards to all the gang and please send them my regards and as soon as time permits i will join in again. It will be interesting to see what people have been doing with there projects?

Best regards to you all.

Tommo

Bob,

I am ok, my team was hit pretty bad about a month and half ago with some deaths (4) and badly injured guys, half my team was taken out so at the moment i have been busy with life over here and getting to grips with the 'Life goes on along with the job' attitude and keeping the team focused on training the new guys who have replaced the dead etc. I will be home in March for another 3 weeks and have been driven mad with house moving which should have been done 5 months ago!

My Brother has not spoken to me for such a long time with reference to when he will bring the ST 4 to my home! He tells me he paid the full amount and that the man he got it from was happy to hang on to it for has long as it takes has it was not in the way. He then said he had collected it and was with him! He then said he was coming down on 2 occasions and did not show and gave me some sob story! I did not hear from him over the Christmas period when i was home last, which was strange. I have not contacted him because i think he never did pay for the ST4 like he said he did and the man has since gotten rid of it, but i cant be sure until i confront my Brother face to face over this matter!

I think the story goes like this, He put a deposit on the ST4 and was given a time frame to collect it but kept asking for a little longer and giving the bloke some excuses and in the end the bloke said pay or i sell the ST4 and you loose deposit? I will find out whether i have lost my ST4 for good or it is still sitting there which i can't see! I feel i have lost out Bob? Still he owes me the money at the end of the day! Problems with Brothers uh??

So what about the gang then! I have been so busy with life in Baghdad and my team and the fact i have had it up to here with the ST4 scenario that i have not sat down and been on the web site for a long time. I will see what is happening and try to catch up with all the reading to find out what you have all been doing etc.

Bob, take care and i'll keep you informed has to whether i own an ST 4 or whether my brother is skating on thin ice!

Best regards

Tommo

SLOW DANCE


Have you ever watched kids


On a merry-go-round?


Or listened to the rain


Slapping on the ground?


Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?


Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?


You better slow down.


Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.


The music won't last.


Do you run through each day


On the fly?


When you ask How are you?


Do you hear the reply?


When the day is done


Do you lie in your bed


With the next hundred chores


Running through your head?


You'd better slow down


Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.


The music won't last.


Ever told your child,


We'll do it tomorrow?


And in your haste,


Not see his sorrow?


Ever lost touch,


Let a good friendship die


Cause you never had time


To call and say,"Hi"


You'd better slow down.


Don't dance so fast.


Time is short.


The music won't last.


When you run so fast to get somewhere


You miss half the fun of getting there.


When you worry and hurry through your day,


It is like an unopened gift....


Thrown away.


Life is not a race.


Do take it slower


Hear the music


Before the song is over.
