Yes all you guys here are just one out of the box,which I could never thank you guys enough.
Just glad Mario found this forum, made so may wonderful friends here, and he was always there to lend a hand to anyone.

It's new home is down Geelong . I had 2 guys come up this morning, and they where impressed with the boat and the engine.
It's now owned by 4 mates that love fishing and was getting sick of land base fishing. .They had looked at one the other day and it had soft spots all over the boat and they want top dollar for it.
So they want to hear the motor, and there wasn't any fuel in it has I had a full service done on it and all the old fuel was taken out. So I had a jeer can in the garage so they went and got fuel.
I had purchase a new battery for it about 6 months ago and it was in the garage never connected to the boat so it was full.
2 turns of the key and she came in to life and sound great to hear that motor again, as it bring so many memories back to me. They talked by phone to the other 2 guys about it. I went inside and came out and the guy had 4 envelopes with cash form the 4 guys. One has just got his boat licence and the other guy said he is going to book his next week I just hope it brings them as much enjoyment as it did for Mario

Good day and bad days reflection. Deployment to burn or back burn Monday to Wednesday is now starting maybe on Wednesday to Friday at Tomahawk 1 2 and 3 perhaps. Wind is fickle and Mario and I know when we could and when NO Sodding way to fish or do my high paying role


It's funny yet sad at time thinking of people we met Heather. Re doing my HR truck license with an Army type how was shot in Iraq and stabbed and glassed the shoot again doing a security role. I may have mentioned Not Getting shot a 3rd time seemed sensible

Running, swimming and poo picker up role for the mutt is interrupted with oddities such as a fire alarm at just around the corner. Kitted up and jumped the fence from Steve's place. Beside Steves place and Steve was the other side

I have yet to tell Steve who lives just across from me about this

Last week at the fire line Bill was the boss, Bill was also a fireman as was another Bill. I think we all named ourselves Bill that day. Echidnas, Wallabies, Roos, Snakes and spiders at the edge of the burn all got watch out bill from me.

Tomorrow is another adventure to enjoy and treasure. Sharing a memory with yours. Life is far bigger than myself, I think.
