Here are the 4 best pics of my visit with Troy and Ed. Too bad that Troy and Ed were in them... And that damn FJ kept getting in the way, plenty of beer on tap... :drinks:

I really enjoy seeing this happen! I think we`ve each exchanged 3 (maybe 4 if I count Arnie),  citizens on loan now....Oh!...and some ashes!
Still not sure if they like beer!.....Will explore such myths next rally me thinks!   :drinks:

It is good to see members meeting other members, but i think Troy deserves kudos because he goes that bit further for it to happen. He flew up to Queensland for a work thing that coincidentally happened at the same time as the Mapleton Muster and made arrangements to meet up with us, held a shed day at his house to meet members down south where he lives, and organising a meeting to meet members on a recent trip to the US.

You don't see that very often where people would go to that effort to meet up, so good on you Troy. :good2:

Troy for President.

He's out there meeting and greeting, touring around, meeting constituents etc. Steeling babies and kissing candy (or was that the other way around).

Good work Troy, glad to see a bloke committed to the cause and using work as an excuse to do FJ stuff.

Great to see y'all having a good time.
The missus and I will be over that way on vacation in July to see a (little) bit of the west side of the lower 48, national parks etc. Except for Alaska we've only seen the inside of airports e.g. LAX, Seattle, Ft Lauderdale and Ft Worth.

Post up your travel plans, maybe some of us non-convicts can meet with you and you and the one that puts up with you...

No stress Pat, plenty of visits left in me. It's a shame I wasn't back into the Mighty FJ when I was in the US quite often, but, as the Governator said "I'll be back".  :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:
Next time I'll try to make sure we have some more time for more  :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:, perhaps I'll even try and line up one of your rallies. (however work will dictate some of it I suppose  :ireful:)
