Been a long week

Following the marathon blogging over the past week or so, where I had to come to my own defense against faceless and meaningless comments, and a week where month end / quarter end / half year all coincided and we were stressed to close as many deals as possible, and a week when I was hoping to get away a day or two earlier and drive down to Richards Bay, and did, and a week when the Princess decided to get a trip to the Vic falls with her mates, and got one, I didn't have much time for this blog. However, it was a good week all round at the end.
I'm in Richards Bay with the boys. The Princess is now safely in Zambia at the Vic falls with the girls. I've just taken R500 on various tables playing Silver Sands poker.
Spent the day doing maintenance at my brothers house, and even had time to fix one of the quads so tomorrow we can go play in the quarry.
This morning, at about 8.30 am, I received a desperate call from my neighbor, to say that her neighbor had just been robbed! Seems a truck with a WHITE giy driving (please take not raven and your cronies) accompanied by a couple of black guys, turned up in our street. Tried to get access to one property and couldnt, went to another where they convinced the maid (with the aid of the white guy)that "the boss" had sent them to fix an electrical problem. She let the black guys in, whilst the white guy waited in the idling truck in the street. The tied the maid up, and blind folded her, and proceeded to carry everything apart from the heavy furniture out, onto the truck! They were gone in 45 minutes, and on their way. I called another neighbor, a friend, and asked him to get his armed response out. They have agreed to assist, will be stationed there for the next 2 days! Called Queenie, and warned her. No on is allowed in. If someone forces the security driveway gates she's to lock herself into her flat and call the police and armed response. I don't care too much if they clean out the house.
So that's sorted, for now.
When I get back I'll have to get the armed response guys contracted to my home as well. What we will try to do is get all 8 houses in the street onto the same company. That way we can have a patrol car stationed permanently in out street. First Prize! I'm sure we can arrange for it to happen.
Will also look at a magnetic lock for the driveway gates, as an added feature. Anyone know how to set it up so that with one button the maglock will release, and the gate open 5 seconds later? Then when the gate closes, the mag lock can reengage in 5 seconds of closing?
If you know, please share this information. I'm not too clued up with electronics, suffice to say i know it could be done. Oh, and anyone know where I can get a maglock cheap?

It's 10.38 pm. Have a long day ahead of me, so as soon as I've had this cup of coffee, I'm off to bed.

Salagatle!
