    We buried a good mate Friday.
    The last thing he asked of me was to give him a ride in our bus.
    So we did.
    We used the bus as a hearse for him, taking him from his daughter's home to the church, and after the funeral service we used it to take him to the cemetery.

    There's now an empty chair in my circle of friends that can never be filled.

    Rest in peace Ronald (Ronnie/Gunny) Arthur Davy 8th January 1940 - 18th October 2016.

    You're going to be missed mate.

    Today, Saturday, we take the same bus to Cambridge for the NZ NSRA Nationals.

    And life goes on.

    Sorry for your loss, jb. Hoping that the Nationals remain dry, and filled to the brim with good fellowship. For those who've never had the opportunity to be a part of the NZ NSRA events they're almost like a family reunion, where every family member brings a hot rod of some type. They break bread together, enjoy an adult beverage or two or three (dredge, to cure what ail's ya!), catch up on what's happened since they last visited, and generally have a great time. There is almost no similarity to our US NSRA, other than the name.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
