I have no profound insights or deep thought on the matter or what occurs with death to share.
It is a journey we must all take alone.
Why am I telling you this?
Because I am here and able to.
OK, did you see the light ? Did you float up and look down at yourself ? :)) Glad your still here !

I guess the USD forks were not working, decided a small scar was not enough?
You and Mark (Lotsokids) need to have a few cold ones and contemplate the meaning of life.... I will buy the beer....
Looks kinda like mine. Don't have the over the top one. I was dead laying on the pavement. Or so the paramedic that was directing traffic thought.
Ya no white light no nothing. Just ceased to exist till I came too 2 weeks later.
I have the greatest appreciation of life...And living it...No sitting around waiting for anything anymore
Makes my head job :biggrin: look pretty boring
Shit!! Looks like I need to buy a few more beers.... The company will be great...
What happened? I was offline for a while around then, I read a little about it but I remember no info. (I remember reading about the pinecone, but not last year.) I know LotsOKids was in a bad car accident - was yours a medical issue that occurred while you were in some far-off mining encampment?
I believe his appendix ruptured , and he went aseptic from it . then didn't heal right and had to get opened up again for a clean-out .
Major problem and would have killed lesser men.
He missed the 2012 wcr due to lingering problems from this operation.
that's what I remember from that time.
This kind of thing will change you forever.
I for one am glad he pulled thru and look forward to his presence at the 2013 wcr. :good2:
Yep, we are lucky to still have you around you big galoot. You do know that you are *now* on bonus time...right? So enjoy the heck out of it...
How are you feeling now? Fully recovered? How's your strength and stamina? On any special diet/food restrictions?
Deano is waiting for his footrace..... Looking forward to June. I did enjoy your co-patriot Lord Baldy last year, it will be a kick with both of you....
not to get to soft about things but i'm glad you pulled thru that nightmare still (relatively) in one piece. :good2:
that is one helluva scar though.... bet ya have a hard time keeping all the ladies off ya now! :biggrin:
KOokaloo!
Your one tough sexy bastard Kman, sure glad ya pulled through.. Life would be a sad place without you in it.

Can't wait to meet ya . My scars are old news. Keep on livin life to it's fullest.
Yeah I'm glad your still here too.... :yahoo:
I do remember 1st hearing about this thru a post by Harvy which. Is what bought me back to the dark side, when I caught up with Klav I was shocked at the change & I decided then and there to ensure I tackled the WCR and boy what an experience, met a lot of absolutely fantastic people and road with a lot of nutcases just like me and Klav.
What I'm trying to say is thanks Klav cause with out your insistence I probably wouldn't have done it, all I can say is look out this year we both will be terrorising you all!! :wacko3:

Hearing that both of you will be coming to the states this WCR I have already alerted the local ranchers and they will have all their live stock, daughters and sons relocated and safely away from the Convict Scum Assault of 2013 (CSA2013) that is imminent. Not to mention that TSA has also been alerted, I am just sure how effective that will be. You guys mike like their treatment too much and ask for more, which will annoy them and shoo you off to other convict activities....
Welcome back.

Glad yer still kicking around. It's been too long.
My trip to your hemisphere ends a couple weeks too early for me to catch the Aussie rally on the way home. Since it appears I'm incapable of getting to 'Straya so far, maybe I need to see if I can make it to the WCR so that you guys only have to come 3/4 of the way to me.
Thanks for the reminder "K".
I was really looking forward to seeing you for the first time in Gunnison last year, but Lord Baldy was a great fill-in on your behalf.
I have already made arrangements to attend this years WCR, so I look forward to meeting you and having a few beers with you and the rest of the group.
I hope you have been back in the saddle regaining your endurance for some hard riding this year.
Take care, and be well!
Leon

Baldy, don't take the all the fun out of it.... But it would spell disaster if we have to pay the high price of the retail Vegemite. 10 kilos and mums the word.

Is that a abdominal aortic aneurysm? So happy your with us! Been involved in a lot of these type of situations where it didn't end as well.
Very good to still have you around k-man. You are one tough individual and what you went through would have killed just about anyone else. Even though you're rather backwards being an Aussie and all, living there and working in PNG, Northern Territories, etc makes you much more resistant to just about everything.
Looking forward to seeing ya at the rally this year. With you and Baldy running around it will be an interesting time for sure. :) I'll be sure not to leave my camera lying around.. who knows what else you'd snap pictures of this time..
A year already, wow. Caught up with Klav for the first time in ages at our Manshed day recently, he looked good, (errrrr), and apart from a few squiggly lines hidden under his shirt, he was the same Klav we all know and love. (Errrrrr again!)
Kane from the first Alien movie! Don't forget you are eating for two!
Dude, put down the pipe and step slowly away......
You can't stop thinking about It, can you?
