I'm not angry but very sad and emotional and can't stop crying this morning. What a sook I'm am today. I miss my dad so much, and wish every day that he would come back.
So many fishing trips we organised to go on after he retired.
Barra up north, snapper in whyalla, a week on Nomad sport fishing on the Coral sea but soon after he retired, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was told he would die in 6 week, which he did.
So nearly every fishing trip I go on, is a dedication to my father, to which a tear falls nearly every time.

I know how you feel MEGOMONSTER, I did not realise just how much time I use to spend talking with my father till he was not there to talk to. We had a rough patch in my late teens but we became very close after I calmed down and I miss him terribly some days.

Not so much angry but sad..............Found a 2004 4.2 just up the road with 130k on the clock, un touched BUT with the 2003 body shape....sigh.
The current shape came out in May 2004 and his was built in May 2004. His must have been the last one built in that shape!
Thought it was too good to be true lol

Not so much angry as NOT happy.
Four weeks ago I woke in excruciating pain, enough to have me rolling on the cold bathroom floor. Quick trip to hospital and a couple of morphine doses found me comfortable enough to have a CT scan which confirmed I had a 7mm kidney stone stuck just outside my left kidney. Because of the location I went on a course of medication for two weeks to try to get it to move into a safer position for removal. The medication was made up of some potent pain killers and something to relax and expand my ureter. Other than make me nauseous and light headed for about six hours each day it didn't help move the stone.
Last week I had another CT scan, Xrays and another barrage of tests and the stone hasn't moved at all. Now I'm booked in for surgery this Wednesday and still on the medication.
Still not sure what option they will use, I'll find out after the CT scan on the morning. Looks like whatever option they use I'll have a stent installed for a fortnight and the removal of that is going to be a whole different experience.
In life I've been pretty much bomb proof, only real surgery I've had was the removal of my appendix (removed at 7:30pm and went home next day at noon). Been looking forwards to the meetup on Saturday and I'm staying positive that I'll be out of hospital and able to attend on the Saturday afternoon.
Cheers
