Hey John,
Thanks for contacting me. I never got your text because my Aussie phone is off. I will check to see if I can get SMS’s on it over in the States. Now I am wondering if anyone else has attempted to reach me and wondered why I did not respond. It’s best to email me at PlatypusYank@gmail.com.
What have you been up to Mate? I am hoping to get a post done in the next little while bringing everyone up to speed with what I have been doing. Lots of news!
Cheers, Mate!
Teresa
