On This Day Jun 26

25th	26th	27th
1967	Drove Gene to get his car and he bought me a cup of coffee at a cafe on 66th Street - we discussed camping. I ate over and when Steve got home we went with Kincy to Holiday to get camping supplies.
1971	Setup a bazaar for the Home of Compassion at the Old Town Hall in Suva. Met Susi's sister, Elena, Sister Depaulis. Stuck around for the opening when a stampede of the maramas. Desai's where Ian was going crazy buying paperbacks for the library. Went to Nanking for chow with Mike G and Dorothy Collins. Tried out the Peace Corps wine, Ta Kia, ginger ale flavour.
1979	T - Sold our 1960 Austin for $300 (we paid $500 for it).
1984	T - Dr Cumming went over my MMPI results (I'm not crazy, but was hostile to the test), he is certain that there is nothing wrong with me, just sinuses so he gave me a decongestant [ed. - in 1988 I found out it is CFS].
1987	Stayed home so I could work on the CIS presentation without interuption. At noon Graeme called to say we couldn't get AT's for Rolling Mills. So I had to spring in action and went to work at 3PM unshaven. Stayed until 9:30PM plotting foils for the presentation. [ed. - in the days before color printers, it was done by plotters, that went very slowly one color at a time, so it could be an hour to complete one page]. (a page and another one.
1988	OZ trip: Drive from Halls Gap to Adelaide. Go to Trip Report
1992	Trish brought me to Muddlemore for a tube to go down and check my innards. Trish knew a nurse and I struck up a conversation with Kim Hunter's mother, also a nurse. I had taught Kim. They gave me a cup of perked coffee, that the American doctor, Henson has introduced. Nothing found - so probably just Irritable Bowel. Hunter's Plaza to shop and have a snack at Robert Harris. Picked up 10 bags of insulfluff from Sanders.
1996	W - Visited Gail. The 2 hour operation turned into 4½ one. Everyone in the recovery room kept telling her to breathe.
1998	F - I turned in my resignation.
2000	M - Lunch with Ne at Pieman Jack's (short-lived NZ company) in Hunters Plaza.
2002	End of Moab trip. Back in Prescott at 1PM.
2005	Celebration of ten years in the league. Watched the end of a Barter Cup match, intermediate schools game, Savage sang "Moonshine" (video). Interviewed some players from the original team, Player Girls (video), Maori haka (video) and the DRUMS (three groups, one with grass skirted dancers). It was a great game. Despite the ref who made call after call against them they still won the game 30-18 (six tries) over first place Broncos. Ann had brought along three flags to wave. Unfortunately, in the excitement of a try the one with all of the signatures went flying and was kept by who ever grabbed it.	10°C Awen
2011	Su - Rushed to Papakura only to wait 40 minutes for Russell to show up. We picked up Owen and went to the game. Warriors all fumbles and lost 16 - 8 to Storm.
2023	M - Biked to 34OC to have Neil from AA bash the Platz tire off. Then Beaurepaires to get a new tire ($149). email and photos from Senad. AFL: Saints 80 - Swans 66 (didn't score a point in first term for the first time ever).
