Hi Everyone,
I'm Lin. I'm a bloke -- to non-Aussies that means a male. Not that it 
matters, except for the surprised looks I get, often.

Lin for what it is worth, a very good friend of mine, his father was a 
Kiwi, was Lyn (I believe that is the way he spelt it)
He and I did a lot together, but he died awhile back from cancer.

The first task for me was to train engineers
How did you do that, train engineers, as far as my experience has been, 
they are not trainable.
 and pilots to write legal
and procedural stuff. The next was to develop a lot of the layout and 
structural stuff to do with the manuals and semi-legal directives. 

At that stage I had had enough. I was nearly 60 and it was 1997, so Mo 
and I decided we could just afford to retire. We sold up in Wellington 
and moved to Queensland, Australia. We have lived here since. Cedar 
Grove is almost 50 km south of the Brisbane central business district 
and is rural -- having been dairying farmland when times were simpler 
and milk prices higher.
From what I know, all Auzzies want to retire in NZ.  And there are a 
few people here who would like to retire in NZ as well

I'm a nit-picker too!
Good!
I have family members living in New Zealand, Australia, USA and the UK. 
I am interested in genealogy, computers and books. I like helping people 
become writers, helping them start out, and then refine their skills. I 
keep annoying our local government, trying to get them to improve their 
efforts and efficiency.
I need help, so I will appreciate any that you may offer to me.
I have found, recently, that I am suffering from short-term memory loss. 
It has a couple of advantages. I can re-read a document without any  
memory of what it looked like last time.  I can excuse myself  for not 
remembering everyday stuff too. I'm just glad that my skills were 
installed a long time ago.

The only thing that I found short term memory loss was a disadvantage 
was when I had to go to the, John , Loo, bath room, head, etc.

Hope to be able to work with you, or, probably better, for you.

Here (in Canada) I might be called an old fart.
