Description
If only I could sing.
Bryce 6, no postwork.
It's been a while' since I last had a chance
to visit you folk here at RR. I'm totaly overwhelmed
by the site mails I got enquiring about my whereabouts.
It sure is great to see such bonds of friendship
that grows between fellow artists.
As for my whereabouts...mmm well....!
Work,work,work and more work.
3 months of doing double time shifts
to try and catch up,
with all the lost hours we
had due to loadshedding-(electricity cuts)
Unfortunately..' then the powerstation in my
town burned down!!!
7 days of darkness followed.
When the power was finaly restored, the supplier
announced shortly there after, ''there is no planned
loadshedding for the next few months''
Maybe they have realised that they don't
know how to turn their own machines off.lol
Unfortunately... we still have power cuts,
cause' of cable theft. Yep! 100's of meters/feet
of cable gets stolen at a time.????
'This should become an adition to'
''Ripleys believe it or not''
So who's stealin' these cables? you may ask.
Well' criminals I guess, but no one
seem to notice the electricty/phoneline cables
disappear untill it's all gone.
So?... if the electricity company needs a cable wheel
to be able to handle 100f of cable, then how
does this criminal genuises remove the same length
without rolling it on a clearly visible cable wheel?
Apparently' the one end of the cable gets
tied to the back of a motorcar,
and the driver then speeds off, dragging the cable
into the nearby darkness. Then the cable is quickly
chopped into smaller sections.
5 mins to steal a cable but it
take 3 days to replace!!!
Why would anyone be stealing these cables?
The answer is ''Copper''
and because it's such easy money.
Apart from all the above and all
the gruesome murders and
day'ly acts of crime and the
fact that we have an serious
outbrake of 'XENOPHOBIA'
(the attack on the lives of foreign citizens)
Allthough I can admit that I'm not very proud
to be called an South African right now,
I sure am glad I don't live in Zimbabwe!!!!
We could not get an renual on our lease for
the building that our company was renting,
and thus we were forced to relocate
our company to my bosses 'smallholding'
Goodnews though, is that the effort
made by my boss and I to keep the company going,
is finaly paying off. Sadly though while other
signage and graphics and many other companys
were/are closing it's doors,
We have managed to survive so far. Don't know
for how long we can manage to go on for,
but this only time can tell.
On a better note!
Since my boss can't affort paying me for all my overtime worked,
he kindly repays me by allowing me to do some large format
prints for personal use. So' now I get to print some of my
own work on many different mediums. This includes
Banner pvc, flag materials and different vynil types.
I also have done some contravision prints
for my wife's new car. ps. ''old piece of junk''
Grinn!!!
Also my boss sold me his Yamaha Virago 125cc
motorcycle at a very low price, and gave me
a plotting and vynil cutting machine valued at around
$5 000 as a gift for my past efforts.
Hopefully with things getting a little more manageable
now, will mean less hours at work, and more time
to spend here at RR. WHOOPEEE!
Appologies to all who's mail I haven't yet replied to.
Thank you for viewing and I hope to see you all again real soon.
Untill then take good care my friends.

Muse it is so great to hear from you again my friend and I am so sorry to read about all you have experienced recently. I know how it feels to be without power for days on end and we forget just how helpless we are in the dark. Sorry more than anything to read about all of the murders as that is so horrific and I hope they can put a stop to it soon. As for the stealing copper we have that going on in our area now and our governor has even put out new mandates for anyone trying to sell the copper to have to show where they got it and prove it was legally obtained. Glad your boss is working with you so well on what he owes, sounds like a great guy.
