Cut from elsewhere:

Heath.
Should be this week. Trying to fit the MM upgrades in the the production schedule, Santa and other projects (okay - honey do list). :)

Today is our wedding anniversary; she got to lie by the pool, I got to painting one wall each in the TV & dining rooms and the kitchen. It's a tough schedule us guys have to keep to . . .

. . . .but she is taking me to dinner tonight: http://www.fiveflies.co.za/

Gerald,

Congratulations! How many years has she been putting up with you?

Pictures in the AM.......

28. no time for pics in the morning ;)

Happy Aniversary Gerald.:)

First and more importantly, Congrats Gerald! I've had 25 wonderful years of marriage, and my wife has had something close to that with me ;) ... I wish you many more happy years!

This may be off topic, but if two Z carriers were used, what would be an appropriate way to hook up dust hoses? Over the side of the car around the Y axis frame?

..interesting date Gerald, Today is my and mines 5th Wedding Anniversary. Now the MM really does fit in my marriage!:D Congrats to you as well.

Congratulation to you also Sean. Enjoy

Geluk ! Die Tannie kyk goed agter die oom.:)

Uit die tannie se mond: "Jou m03r!"

Congrats Sean. Being so close after Xmas, there is a risk of forgetting the date. . . . I've done it once . . . . . after the year in which she forgot! :D

Jack, dust hoses for twin Z's are a major headache - they have to fight for space with the y-motor or with the y-cable chain. (They cannot pass outside the y-car. between the gantry tubes without reducing the y-travel)

Congratulations Gerald... I married Elize on 15 December 1984....still going strong.

CONGRATULATIONS JENNY !!! and Gerald ;)

It's amazing what women will put up with. Just ask Karen. :)

Many more happy years to both of you.

Congrats Gerald and Sean. What did you order at Five Flies? Did you get the snoek? Kathryn and I have been married 28 years also.

Gelukwensing! Gerald!

Congratulations Sean!

21 Years
 

Congrats!!! 21 years for me this year !!

11 years and still counting ,my wife put the knife back in the drawer after the third year:)

Congrats Gerald and Sean!
It is a long and interesting road. Mine was 30 years in April!:p
One of chaps at work told me that a live sentence is a lot shorter than that!:)

Lex, het jy geweet dat getroude mans langer lewe as ongetroude mans . . . . . . . maar getrouded mans is meer gewillig om dood te gaan?

(Did you know that married men live longer than unmarried men . . . . . . but married men are more willing to die?)

In my 24 years , I never thought of DIVORCE....but MURDER every now and then...:D

Christmas Eve was 21 for me. It happens day by day.:D

Here you can see the strain of 28 years: :)

Its amazing how grizzly bearded men like us can have such good looking offspring, it must be our wives strong genes coming through :D
