Owen had two great stories of how he came to own two old chairs (auction and mother).

2019	Sa - Cold and wind kept crowd number down. Warriors were ahead at half-time. There was a so-called BIG act at half-time. four people twirling colored lights - quite boring. Team didn't score in 2nd half as Melbourne rolled onto a victory. Russell's brother, Glen, very upset with the team. Non-Stop traffic in Kaimais coming out of Tauranga. Probably a rugby crowd leaving after game. But just to be safe I put the radio on to see if maybe tsunami was on its way.
