That's not a bad idea, I did bring a suit with me. I sent him an email, looks like he's in Perth now, maybe there will be a clinic in Brisbane when I'm here.

Adam the only Barefoot school I can think of is Ken Derry Water Ski Centre

Here you go Population 23 M to 318 Million

Do you realize this is Adam Deen we're talking about here!!! Those lady friends may never talk to you again after Adam😀
   

Steven no worries just make sure there is no drink challenges in the local bars before you visit

Adam the forecast for the weekend looks good.

Topless barber shops!? What does a bald man like myself do?!

I think they offer a hot shave too? worth it.

Yes we do have a topless barber shop in Brisbane, it is at the Grovenor Hotel, can even drink a beer while getting your hair cut, by the fine obviously qualified young lady. Well if you got some time and just need to be shown around the gold coast, let me know. Steve

Grosvenor, yep, that's the place. Its about 8 blocks from my apartment. I mean, probably, not that I would know.

I'm always up for making new CCFan friends, especially if they offer to take me skiing! Once my schedule is firm I'll let you know when I'll be back and we'll get something scheduled. Probably mid to late march.

Sorry I got a little busy with work the last couple days.

So these are a couple shots of the hospital I'm at, they're all crooked cause I was just snapping with my phone while I was walking.











Then on Saturday we went for a drive.









Not exactly sure what this is, but I took a picture





And then ended up in a rainforest, which was a first for me



















Then a beer garden overlooking the coast...so long mid winter party break



Apparently there's a koala in this picture. I stared at it for 10 minutes and never saw it. Then blew the picture way up and still haven't seen it.



They got waterfalls here.



Since I've been here I have been in exactly 2 bars that have bar stools, and one of them was today at lunch. I asked a few people and they told me that basically no bar in the city will keep stools at the bars because people use them as weapons more often than they use them as seats, haha. The girl behind the bar today that had the stools told me she was hit in the head with one. I think I'm in love.

When I was 18 I thought an 18 year old drinking age was a good thing. They have that here, I have changed my mind. Most of the bars in the city are a mix between day cares and weird dance clubs. I've felt old before, but this is borderline weird.

One thing that's been a little surprising is I expected to see a lot of way drunk aussie's stumbling around, especially on the weekend, but it turns out that bartenders in the city have something called an RSA...a responsible service agreement, which is some kind of contract they enter into with the city upon getting hired that they're all scared of so they cut people off long before they should. Found that one out the hard way.

Up next, a weekend at the lake with Lewy.

The Moomba starts March 4-9th in Melbourne. Team Nautique will be there in force (my self included) Look us up if you can make it!

Really? How is that possible, I am drinking at Southbank at the moment of you are in Brisbane

Adam was in the boat one day no problems. Thought all this "wrecking crew hoodoo" stuff was make believe...But on the second day a perfectly good battery died

Checked the purchase date on the battery April 2004. Sending the Interstate battery back to the USA with Adam for a warranty claim
