I hear ya Nozza - made some big changes 6 yrs ago now and never looked back

Its nice to get that work life balance equation back in your favour. I work from home on average 2 to 3 days a week. So the long commute the other 2 is not normally an issue. Some weeks though - like last week - I had to go down to the big smoke 4 times. I just hate it when I have meetings that finish in Sydney around 4 to 5pm. Doesn't happen often but when it does ahhhhh - plans on the horizon to take the working from home concept to another level - stay tuned

Re the train - the work has to be done so I might as well make use of the time on the train - means I have more time for surfing !
As for the 666 - had one of those in the garage for abt 5 yrs now - I hardly ever ride them anymore - no need where we live. The chick uses it a few times a week though. I just find them so limiting / frustrating in the surf compared to any of the other toys I have in the garage. Have a new nose riding LB on the go at the moment - that should cover me for those days that I do not head out now.
