Jealousy:

Jealousy is an emotion that you feel when you are on Seabreeze and every cat on here has just got a new board or is in the process of getting one made.

One day I hope to be cashed up and own a very fine quiver of boards just like all of you.

Enjoy the new stick Weiry, Mick and Mac(I'm sure one is in the making), Lacey (Go hard on the middy), Chrispy and Asea.

Do not fear McHenry - lots of us are jealous of your new digs!!! Rome was not built in a day - most on here have been surfing for a very long time and updating the quiver is a normal event. Once you have a few the change over rate is not too bad. Your time will come. How's the build coming along?

Thanks SP, was a great reply from Mac. Made me laugh out loud at my desk and my boss gave me a weird look.

Yes plenty of room for any fellow breezers who come to Adelaide as it will pretty much be a 4BR when its all said and done.

Plenty of crap waves down here just waiting for the breezers! Oh well, at least the house will be nice.

Jealousy is......knowing it's been blowing offshore for two weeks and pumping, and having to stay out of the surf for at least another three weeks or longer until the wounded heals fully after surgery. ITS NOT FAIR, I waited 15 years for this opportunity and now I can't even stand to look at the swell report

That's no good cross step - hang in there n listen to the doc - many yrs back I didn't and ended up with a massive ulcer and 8 weeks out and a massive scar on my calf muscle. Missed loads of waves as well.

Keep posting picks of yr crib McHenry - loving it.

Thanks Ted An ulcer is my biggest fear and will keep me out of the water until all is healed. Had a sea ulcer on my toe when I was a lad and refused to stay out of the water, as a result that one took a good couple of years to heal over.

Jealousy is seeing the photo Ted send me yesterday of the conditions he'll be enjoying & me not being there......

McH - That's a beautiful looking house mate & as mac said something to be proud of, as a couple & family we've struggled from the early days having kids young, a mortgage & associated responsibilities but just enjoy what you've got mate & your time will come.

Thanks Pup,

Nice Federation Villa when its all said and done. As we were knocking down the walls we found an original 1908 penny and newspaper article in the lime mortar. The house was built in 1908 and it was said if you put a penny in the mortar the house wont crack. Turns out it doesnt work haha.

Once we get the bullnose on and the tesselated tiles in it will look real nice out front.

Jealousy is.....meh. Reckon I can put up with sulking at being high and dry for a while till the wound heals, with the knowledge that our new 3.2L 4x4 Double Cab Ford Ranger is coming in a week or two. Just going to have to do a whole lot of surf fishing till I can drag the board out again.
