My day out driving an Articulated Dump Truck

It's waterskiing time!!!

Barefoot skinging on the Murray River

Back in Feb we had a long weekend so I went up to Echuca, Australia, on the Murray River with Travis and crew to go waterskiing. This video is my first time having a crack at barefoot.

A day of inspiration... well a few months ago anyway!

For those of you who haven't been to my house in the last 6 months you would have missed out on a delightful display of artwork hanging on the walls.

The pictures below depict a sunny afternoon's effort of playing with paint. Some of you may think it is a bit a kin to finger painting, while others a flash of brilliance. To me, I just needed something to cover the boring walls.

Enjoy!!!

1 Degree Celcius

This morning it was 1 degree celcius when I started work. Aren't there laws about that...?

5:15PM Monday 19th July 2006, The day that changed my life!

At precisely 5:15PM today, Monday 19th of July 2006 an event occurred that will change my life forever! I have been dreading this day all my life. The day I became another statistic on the road.

Firstly, I would like to say I am ok and so if the driver, the wife and 2 grand daughters in the other car.

Secondly, I am very upset that my pride and joy has been scratched and now needs to be fixed. What a pain in the arse!!!! How did this happen?? To me of all people!!! Well, I shall tell you. I was on my way home from work and had stopped on the east side of the intersection of Springvale Road and Burwood Highway, heading west towards the city. The lights were RED, the cars in front of me were stopped.

Once the lights went GREEN the cars were slow taking off. I waited for the car in front of me to move off. As I was waiting a quickly glanced in my rear vision mirrow to see a car hurtling up my arse... BANG!!!! Oh shit... this is going to be bad. I got out to see an elderly man jump out of his car, apoligise, and inspect the damage. His wife and two grand daughters were a little shaken, but ok. My bumper, however, had seen better days. Rather than its normal beautiful black it had shades of green, chips missing and scratches.

We exchanged details, left, called RACV, then Bob to get the rest of his details and now the fun games of getting quotes, being without a car and stuffing around.

I'll get back to you with in update... Greg

The Weekend

After giving my car a well needed all over detailing Friday night before going to be and doing a days work on Saturday, I travelled down to see Ross, Brenda and the boys for the night. I went and watched the boys play soccer against Lara and had the great honor to be a linesman for the match.

Only 2 weeks until I fly off to Greece for a couple of months!!!!! Yippeeeee!!!!

I can't wait to get away from this cold weather and to be sitting on the beach and eating the best food everyday!

Be shore to keep a close watch on this site as there will be plenty of videos and photos of my travels for you be jealous of... haha.

Just watching Japan v Croatia before the mighty Aussies take on Brazil. Go Aussies!!!

Compliment of the day

Today I was greeted with a lovely compliment on my way home from dinner. This compliment was dished out to me on my way home back from the crown casino (no I don't gamble) after finishing my $10 parma. Part of the walk back to Michael's house passes through the casino. As I was about to enter the gamining floor I was stopped and asked produce some ID. I immediately burst out in a fit of laughter which embarrassed the poor chap. With a big grin on my dial I produced my licence saying I turn 31 in 2 months... but thanks!

My first vlog

Can't forget about Karaoke!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Michael for putting on the bash at Strike Bowling. I was pleased to see Michael get up and sing. I was just as pleased to hear that he was as bad as I was... or maybe just a little bit better.

Also, thanks to Caz, Linda and Sophie for showing some talent on the night.

Photos from Engagement last Saturday night.

As promised, a couple of photos from the engagement party.

Engagement Party, 10-Pin Bowling and Karaoke

Saturday night was quite a busy night. I ventured out to Danny & Vic's engagment party. I must say I was looking very dapper. I will upload some photos soon when I get them off Michael.

I left the engagement early to co-ordinate Michael's 31st birthday bowling and karaoke session. Needless to say I won the bowling, but only just after some strong competition from Michael, Tony and Bobby.

Next came the karaoke. If you have seen Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer" you will understand how great a singer I am! It is funny how shy people can be around friends. No one wanted to sing so I got up and destroyed many classics, much to the dissmay of everyone there.

After singing "I'm a little Tea Pot" and "Old MacDonald had a farm" it was time for us to leave. To bed we went...

Ok, here's a photo of Ruben!!!

After popular demand my good house mate Ruben has finally made it on to the site.

What a cutie!!!

Before I hit the sack tonight I would like to make a final Happy Birthday wish to Michael for his 31st birthday. Tomorrow night we are going for 10-pin bowling and karaoke which will be a blast.

It is also Daniel and Victoria's engagement party tomorrow night so I look forward to that as well.

Anyways, I'm off to bed cause I'm knackered.

Just a photo for my profile.

Photo from Naxos

Just another typical sunset from the beautiful island of Naxos in the heart of the Cycledes Islands, Greece.

Each night tourists venture up to the famous "Portara" which is the ruins of the uncompleted Temple of Apollon, set a top a small island nestled to the north of the main town of Chora. Night after night the most spectactular sunsets can be seen, each one just as beautiful as the night before.

I am a geneous!!!!

You would not believe it, but I am a genious!!! You may ask, how did I come to such a profound conclusion? The answer is quite simple. I have always known this. However, it has been further reinforced after I managed to work out how to get the blog working on my domain name www.gregarmstrong.com.au

I can hear you all now thinking, what a genious Greg is. I would like to thank you all for the good thoughts.

I had better run now as I need to populate this site with my info and pictures.
