Little bugger went AWOL one day here at work

I saw him hanging out in the paint shop geting comotosed from the fumes, next thing I know he was wandering off down the driveway....

little sucker rang and told me he is on the way back now though (couple weeks later)

Will see if I can show him a few more sights in the next week, then it might be time for him to continue his journey.

Budgie turned up home with the stray cat yesterday, think he led her astray.

He had a decent day at work today, he is looking for a new holiday stop off?

any takers? suggestions? PM me!

Rumour has it, that Budgie was last seen with an Australian woman, who looked like Victoria Beckham...

Chris, the whole idea is to send him to a fellow forumer.
It can be anyone you have the address for.

I rekon we need a travel map for him. So we can see the locations he has been.

hahaha, it will all become clear very soon!

I'll grab the latest round of photos off the camera at work tomorrow and throw them up. He got to drive a forklift, a bobcat and some other fun stuff!

Budgie has been a good visitor though, doesnt eat much and offers to contribute, (nice little fella when he isnt drunk! thanks col/roo!)

I thought I saw Budgie at Phillip Island yesterday between turns 2 and 3 , lying on the ground , half of him still moving , the other half rather squashed, the car in front of me swerved suddenly and there he was.
Looks like one car had already hit him and then I ran over him.....

Luckily it has been pointed out to me that Budgies are not pink, and that this was probably a Galah.

Phew, close call...

Map is a bit closer to where he has been

http://maps.google.c...u....230469&z=3

By the looks of it, Budgie should definitely go to the western states! They are missing out!

Budgie on the way to work with us-
Posted Image

We had to do some err...... important computer work before heading out to explore the yard, so he sat patiently and waited...

Posted Image

Budgie got to ride in some machinery, poor bugger had trouble reaching the controls though-

250 2speed bobcat
Posted Image

ingersol rand mini roller-
Posted Image

He had a mishap here and left it in gear when he jumped out..... almost ended badly for the little fella!
Posted Image

Next he wanted to have a go in an OMEGA,
Posted Image

poor fella had to really put his back into it to operate the joystick! (little bugger kept taking his PPE on and off though! if the safety bloke caught him, hed be in big trouble for not wearing his vest!)

Next we went and checked out the TUG aviation tractors, (spot the budgie!)

Posted Image

He had a go in one of them too!
Posted Image

I left him out in the yard going over some of our parts.

last I saw he was checking out some new diffs for his torana-
racing slicks!?
Posted Image
wet weather tyres?
Posted Image

Budgie might even get a trip to Port Macquarie on the weekend with Karlie!

due to unforseen circumstances budgie is hitching a ride south today, gave him a bag of barbeque smiths chips, bottle of coke (hip flask of scotch) and a copy of Zoo weekly to keep him occupied for the overnight trip.

He is having an intermittent stop off down south for a week, then continuing onwards once more.

All will be revealed eventually by the next recipient/s

:)

Oh No!....he's lost again!

I rekon he has turned the packet of chips into some casino chips, the hip flask into a crate, & the zoo weekly into a black lable suscription! :)
