I`m going to try to have a good rest of the weekend. Bears football tomorrow afternoon and then back to work tomorrow night. Sunday`s are always hit or miss. Some Sunday nights we run our rears off and others we sit at the station all night. Have a good one yourself....

I'm sorry to have mislead you with my profile DUST, it has been changed. I'm no longer an ARFF, I work for the regular municipal fire & rescue service. Though for some time I worked as an ARFF!

Response to how I ended up in Oz...The wife (from Potomac) came here to pursue a Phd, I thought I'd come over to keep an eye on her. Now we don't want to leave! Wonderful country. Great food, beaches, beer. The landscape is beautiful exept for the bits that are poisonouse, trying to eat you, full of venom, or on fire.
