working away is dangerous – im away for 6 weeks – all expenses paid (unless i go out on the lash) so wages plus living away allowance plus my day rate.
bought a thorn raven enduro the day i left then pretty much just spent 4k on another bike(for which the thorn was a donor bike for the rohloff) + a raceface 100mm bb and turbine chainset for the beginning of my next project in a couple months – project pugsley – last time i was away i bought a thermarest neo air and a pair of oakley jawbone livestrongs – ive eclipsed that purchase slightly.
Thus proving working away as a part whorder is bad !
Shes ok with it though – the house saving fund will look very very healthy after this trip (working here , chances of being caught up in political trouble is looking pretty high atm so working coeffiecient is high)
