Note from Geoff
I would like to come and live at your house ... please send the old guy a few details on "how and when" I can get out of here !!

Note from Jess
I'm glad !!
Sorry I haven't called ... I'm in Cairns for work and will try and touch base tonight

Note from Geoff
We are meeting up with one of The Girl's friends this afternoon and should be home around 6.00pm
( Kelly Richardson, and she's in Cairns overnight )
No panic ... 'Tina Barina' is just sitting there !!

Note from Jess
Too easy !!

Thursday 29th May 2014

Note from Geoff
'Tina Barina' is a goer !! ... just needed a new battery
Give a ring whenever you want
I'll make some enquiries about the registration, etc ... but you wouldn't want it cancelled up here, would you ?? ... better to do it in Townsville ??
I don't mind, and you can drive it like it is if you want
You are probably sad, but have the "Best Birthday" possible !!

Tuesday 3rd June 2014

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff and Sharon, sorry I missed your call today ... I will call you back tomorrow
Dad is going to take 'Tina' up to the Tablelands for the Roadworthy Certificate
I'll call him and see when he can make it down

Wednesday 4th June 2014

Note from Geoff
That's okay
Can you guess a time for your call ?? ... but I'm home until around 3.00pm ... if I don't answer it's because I am outside having a smoke !! ... will call you back
I know the procedure to follow now and I have some info from MacDonnells Law
As executor, Brett has to sign one form and he is in Darwin till Saturday
A visit to the Department of Transport and Main Roads offices next week ... that should be "fun" !!
More details when we talk later

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff
I'm so sorry I didn't get to call today
My new job is a bit crazy at the moment ... I'm sorry to stuff you around

Thursday 5th June 2014

Note from Geoff
Don't matter at all ... just ring when you get the chance ... or you can leave it till your next trip to Cairns
Completely up to you and your Dad

Tuesday 24th June 2014

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you both
I'm in town on Saturday and was hoping I could take 'Tina Barina' up to Atherton
Dad is going to get a Roadworthy sorted for me
Sorry it's short notice

Note from Sharon
I am sure that will be okay ... will get Geoff to respond to you in the morning

Note from Jess
Okay ... no worries and thanks, Sharon
Hope all is well

Note from Sharon
We are getting by, Jess

Wednesday 25th June 2014

Note from Geoff
There was an "angel-mail" from Tanya this morning ... you are only allowed to take 'Tina' if you attend the CrossFit Session
Hey, don't get mad at me !! ... her rules, not mine !!
What time do you reckon on Saturday ??
See you then ... and make sure you wear lycra / lorna jane !!

Note from Jess
I'm sure I can make it to Crossfit ... just don't kill me with the workout !!
Will be good to see everyone again
Is it still 7.00am ??

Note from Geoff
Hey, I think "TMR" was only kidding, but that's okay ... will be good to see you there and catch up, etc
Brett will probably be back in Darwin and Ritchie is also away ... BUT ... I am there !!
ill not take 'Tina' to the fields though as it might be "a bit sad" ... you can come back with us and take it from here ... that okay ??
Damn, just remembered, now I gotta put fuel in it and vacuum it and wash it ... damn again !!
Yep, still around 7.00am

Note from Jess
Don't stress about the fuel, etc ... I can sort that out if you like
Yep, totally understand and would be nice to come round to your place anyway if that's okay

Friday 27th June 2014

Note from Geoff
100% sure that Tanya Mary Roneberg would like what's going on here !!
See you tomorrow

Note from Jess
She looks beautiful !! ... just like her owner "T" !!

Note from Jess
Hi guys !! ... won't make Crossfit ... sorry !!
I am hoping to come by about 9.00am ... is that suitable ??

Note from Sharon
That will be fine, Jess ... see you then

Thursday 24th July 2014

Note from Geoff
Hi, Jess
Your Dad rang me last week about meeting up today to go to the Main Roads Office to transfer the registration on 'Miss Tina Barina'
He was going to ring again on Tuesday or Wednesday to confirm a time to match in with a doctor's appointment he also has today
Haven't heard from him and I don't have his phone number ... have you any idea of his plans ??
You have a good day and no Dogs or Horses !!

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff ... and Dad just texted me for my licence number and I've signed the forms
Hope everything is well

Tuesday 29th July 2014

Note from Geoff
Registration of 'Tina Barina'
Good morning to you
As your Dad mentioned, both Brett and Andria have to sign the Transfer Form
Brett is back from Darwin so he's done ... but Andria is on an 'Island Cruise' for her birthday and doesn't return till next Monday
She will call in and see Sharon at work and do the signing
Not much we can do now ... I'll post it all down to you as quick as possible
Will you let your Dad know when you talk to him ??
( Andria's cruise is for her 50th + Herself + TMR ... Sharon will fill you in next time you're up here )

Note from Jess
No worries, Geoff, and there is no rush
Thanks for the update !!

Thursday 7th August 2014

Note from Geoff
Another "hiccup" with 'Miss Tina Barina'
Andria is back from her Birthday Cruise ... had a great time ... BUT ... has now got a Very Contagious Flu
In bed and not seeing or going near anyone !!
Hopefully she'll be up and about and can sign her name early next week
I will keep you and your Dad fully informed on this ongoing saga !!

Note from Jess
Too easy, Geoff !!

Tuesday 12th August 2014

Note from Geoff
You there ??

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff !!

Note from Geoff
Don't really matter
Just wanted to say that the Text and Photo you sent to Sharon today will for ever and ever be SO VERY SPECIAL to us
CLICK HERE
A beautiful thing you did !!

Note from Jess
I'm very blessed to have a Mother who is so thoughtful

Note from Geoff
Crying now ... need sherry !!
Go now and enjoy your Honeymoon !! ... go on !! ... now !!

Note from Jess
Thanks, Geoff
We will going to Port Douglas for a couple of days and will have a Cocktail at Nautilus for "Our Special Girl"

Note from Geoff
Enjoy ... Enjoy ... Enjoy !!

Note from Geoff
Last One !!
Had a vegemite glass full to the bloody top with sherry ... feeling good now !!
Had a Deep Thought
Now might be a 'perfect' time to ask for a Horse + Dog + Two Canarys / Budgies
Just saying, that's all
Bye, bye for now from Trinity Beach

Note from Jess
LoL !! ... Mark said piss off !! ... I'll work on him over the week !!

Friday 15th August 2014

Note from Geoff
Yes, it's me again ... disturbing and interupting your Honeymoon !!
Just a note to say that all the forms for 'Tina Barina' are in the post to you ... finally !!
I also sent a copy of everything to Dereck just for his info
As he told you on the phone, the "sad" forms associated with this transfer were scanned and attached to the Vehicle Registration Number File so you should not have to see / read them
Everything the Main Roads Department said to do has been done, so hopefully there will not be anymore hassles
Now go back to bed !!

Note from Jess
Geoff, it never bothers me to get messages from you !!
Okay ... I'll take them into the department when I get home

Monday 18th August 2014

Note from Jess
Hey, Geoff, I got the paperwork today will go and file it tomorrow
'Tina' is down here with us ... we are going to look after her for "Our Girl"

Tuesday 19th August 2014

Note from Geoff
So glad, Jess ... and Tanya Mary and we know that she is in the best of hands
Love to you and Mark

Wednesday 20th August 2014

Note from Geoff
I am almost 'too scared' to ask !! ... did everything go okay with the transfer ?? ... really hope so !!

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff, and I've just been in and unfortunately there are a couple more things to be done
Nothing complicated but just a bit more stuffing around
We need to fill out another transfer form transferring the car from Tanya to the Estate of Tanya ... then we can lodge my transfer
Also they need a copy of the Will, not the Grant of Probate ... I'm told it doesn't have to be certified
I'm happy to sort it out with Brett and Andria if that's better for you, Geoff
Sorry to give bad news but it's all going to be sorted out soon
'Tina' has kicked Marks car ( 'Lily Lancer' ) out of the covered car park down here already !!
She's showing us who's The Boss !!

Note from Geoff
Jeez, why don't they get themselves organised !! ... Cairns Office and Townsville Office need to talk !!
In respect to Brett and Andria, I think it is best to have all the contact with me
Jess, there is paperwork involved which makes me cry every time I look at it and I so very much didn't want you to have to see and read it
I have a copy of The Girl's "Will" and also a full copy of the "Deed of Arrangement" which deals exclusively with Tina Barina and the transfer to Sharon and I
The will does not mention the car at all, just 'general' information and details ... but I can send these if you need them ??
Also, if we need another Transfer Form completed, did they tell you who must sign this one ??
Let me know and I'll get what you want posted as quick as possible
Good news about the carpark !! ... who has a name 'lily' anyway !!
Our best to you both

Note from Geoff
... and with the "Will" and "Deed of Arrangement", I took these into the Main Roads Office here with your Dad and they said there were not necessary ... somewhere, somebody is an Idiot !!
( lily = puke )

Note from Jess
Haha !! ... yes 'Lily" is a girl's name !!
I will email you what they told me tomorrow ... and yes I agree 100% ... paperwork just for the sake of it

Wednesday 10th September 2014

Note from Geoff
Definately "no panic" from up here ... but just a'wondering how this is going ?? ... or are you gunna leave it in "TMR" name ??
Married life good ?? ... you bought a dog or horse yet ??
Day by day here with Father's Day a "bit of a bitch"
Be good down there, and keep away from the pubs !!

Note from Jess
Hey, Geoff, so sorry for the delay ... I will email you today, I promise
Married life is good so far !!
I miss Tanya a lot lately ... I can't imagine how you guys are feeling

Email from Jess
Hi, Geoff
Sorry it's taken me so long to sort this out ... my work has been crazy !!
They said that Brett and Andria have to transfer the registration out of Tanya's name into the Estate of Tanya
Then I can lodge the transfer I have
Also, they will need a copy of the will ... they said that this is because it's a transfer to a non-beneficiary

Tuesday 21st October 2014

Note from Geoff
'Tina Barina Adoption Papers'
Yep, Brett has signed but we can't catch up with Andria until coffee at 6.30am on Thursday morning ... Sharon will then post them so they should be in your mailbox Friday
That is two weeks before the registration is due for renewal which should be heaps ... unless ... they want another fourty-two pages of signatures, statements and affidavits !!
Don't you go losing your temper now if they do !!
And has "TMR" been playing the 'silly bugger' and given you a flat battery or puncture yet ??
See you one day

Note from Jess
Thanks, Geoff, and yes, I will try and be calm with them !!
No, 'Tina' has been well behaved and Tanya hasn't sent me any signs yet that I'm not looking after her properly !!
I'm sure she won't hold back if she's not happy !!

Tuesday 28th October 2014

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff and Sharon
Just letting you know that 'Tina' has now been registered in my name ... finally !!
And it still has the same number plates !! ... "228 - KXF"
I'm taking good care of her for "Our Girl"

Note from Sharon
Thanks, Jess ... that's good news !!
I guess she has a hyphenated name now 'Tina Barina-Scott' !!
Love to you and Mark

Note from Jess
Ha !! ... and yes she does !!
Hope to catch up with you all soon

Wednesday 29th October 2014

Note from Geoff
Sharon, that is quite funny !!
Good news, Jess ... just a question on the Comprehensive Insurance Cover
The policy papers were in the bundle of stuff that I gave you when you and Mark called in here ( can send again if you want them )
It is on the same RACQ policy as our car ... we pay-by-the-month and there is a payment due on the 1st November 2014
We don't mind at all paying this while you get a new policy organised if you haven't already
Once you've done this, I'll cancel it this end
Finally, I sent a note to "TMR" asking for "one puncture" over the next fortnight so be prepared !!

Note from Jess
Mark said he's going to sort the insurance as soon as possible
I didn't realise you were still paying ... how much do I owe you ??

Thursday 30th October 2014

Note from Geoff
Women !! ... if we weren't paying, who the hell do you think was !! ... Father Christmas !!
Jess, you don't owe us a dime ... as I said on the phone, use any money to buy a dog or a horse or take Mr Scott out for a feed !!
Just let me know when it's all done and I'll cancel the RACQ Policy ... if you need any more information, send me a note
Have a good day down there

Note from Jess
LoL !! ... yep, I'd be lost without his help ... the bills wouldn't get paid, that's for sure
That's very generous of you, Geoff
Thank you again for everything
Will keep you posted

Thursday 6th November 2014

Note from Jess
Hi, Geoff
'Tina' has been insured and everything now !!

Friday 7th November 2014

Note from Geoff
Terrific, Jess ... and I'm real glad it was all done without you being charged with the Assault of Government Employees !!
I'll cancel the RACQ Policy now
A "shitty" weekend coming up ... but "Mum" is going to run Twenty One Kilometres as a Birthday Present for her Daughter and Dad and Brother are going to watch
CLICK HERE
Yes, we'll be real sad but okay ... will let you know how the day goes
