Do you think I need the shots?

Squirrels are rabbies carriers, I would check with the locals if there are some rabbies cases in the area and got vaccinated!

Stevan,
     Tetanus could be a "player" as well. Have you had a Tetanus shot lately? regardless, I'd recommend you inquire about shots.
Not to try to make light of it, but how in hell did you manage to get bitten by a "Tree rat"!? ???
Take Care,
Lance

Yes, definitely!

I hope you'll have lots of other more positive reasons to remember Bali.

Best wishes
Nigel

Hello Steven:

Not to be a fear monger, but; as has been mentioned, I would get checked out by a physician.

Take care

Precisely.

PS Mickey thanks you for the jewelry. ;)

Edit: misread 'Bali' as 'Ball' lol :D

Arrived back in OZ today at 0730 in the morning.

Now that was an eventful end to my holiday.  :'(

Mandatory notification to the Department Health; I’ve just got back from seeing the Tropical Diseases Specialist (3 x injections later) and needles into my fingertips!

Yes, modellers, needles into my fingertips.  Hmm, only three more needles to go (what fun), I’ve only got two arse cheeks, so I wonder where the good doctor plans to stick my third Rabies shot?  (suggestions welcome)

I cried (man tears) in the clinic today.  All that stuff from the nurse about taking me to see the doctor at the back of the clinic to avoid all the colds and flues was just BS.  I got the sound-proof-room and still managed to frighten the other patients with the screaming.
(squeal like a pig for me boy!)

Never, ever, again will I hand feed the cute furry animals while on holidays. (I don't care  how soft your velvet nose is, I'm a hardened man)

My week long relationship with Mr “Hello Darling” (cute squirrel with the big brown eyes) is well and truly over.  What started out as an occasional peanut just between man friends, ended up as an (unsupervised) excess of Bintang beer, peanuts and all of Mr Hello Darling’s squirrel mates coming over and having a party on my hotel balcony.

One of his mates (a Werewolf masquerading as a squirrel) bit my ring finger down to the bone during a desperate lunge for the offered peanut.  I was two hours away from catching my scheduled flight home.

I’m left with lasting memories of Bali and Mr Hello Darling, including a not so subtle sense of irony for giving Bo some shtick in his thread about squirrel hunting while on vacation.  :)

Mr Hello Darling got off with a feast
His mate, the Werewolf, is now hunting for fresh Australian friends
I can’t sit down and
Our favourite reviewer Jamo is going to have his Eindecker wheels laced by a one-armed (likely intoxicated) Aussie wheel maker tomorrow.

Happy Holidays!

Don’t forget to count the spokes

p.s.  I never knew Rabies was such a nasty disease, OK so it could have been worse, lucky I wasn't in Canada hunting beaver.

Just so you never forget your special time with Bali Bob the Rabid Squirrel, I thought I would post this little keepsake. Print it off and frame it  ;D

Sorry to hear about the injections, but better safe than dead.

Hello Darling!

Yes, I have been a very naughty squirrel.



And deserve a spank.

Ohhhh, Ouch, Ahhhhhhhhh! Thank you Bo, please spank me some more.  ;D

Now Terri, if getting a virtual spank from Bo (dressed in his squirrel suit) helps me to focus on the task at hand (making Jamo's wheels) then I can only say that I'm most unworthy. (and deserve another spank)

Ahhhhhhhhh, Ohhhh, Ouch!

Yes Bo, I have been playing with other squirrels, please spank me some more.
