@mrhappi I'm glad it's not only my opinion of the new owners ;)
It doesn't take much to smile and greet people like you're pleased to see them. Makes you wonder why some people choose to work in the industry if it makes them so miserable!? :noidea:
That's not to mention putting us next to the dump point and rubbish bin storage area despite the park being empty and me requesting a spot with a view to the pool :mad2:

Today not technically the weekend but was for me. I did our annual Geat Ocean Road ride with a bunch of mates who ride up from Melbourne over the Queensclif ferry through to Warrnambool and stay the night. Then I join them for the return trip from Warrnambool to Airey's Inlet where I leave the group and return back the GOR. 440km is a fairly axhausting day. It doesn't matter how many times I have done the GOR over the years I'm still in awe of the spectacular coast.

Spent Saturday back out on the fire ground with a strike team from around Ballarat area. Great bunch of people and really appreciate them coming over to help (Just had to speak a little slower all day for them). Having a day off today to rest a little as I had a grand total of 9 hours sleep between Wednesday morning and Saturday night. Today is also my two daughters annual cheer concert so a day to enjoy.

Have a great weekend everyone and stay safe

And I have a fair idea who that quote was directed at buddy!!!!:boxing-25: Might have to send my mate @Kenshi123 around to show some of his black belt prowess ;). A mate I work with was set to go but they reduced the numbers and he missed the cut.

Pretty sure they'll include a truck from the Bacchus Marsh CFA as there was a bit in the rag about it. Either way mate, keep up the great work. Very appreciative of all that you and the other "Smokies" do.

Yes mate worked with the guys from Bacchus Marsh, including their group officer. Great bunch of guys and girls. Even took some of them to their first harvester fire on the way back to staging.

On Sunday I took the kids to my local model aircraft club where I use to fly a few years ago. Was a good turnout and great weather. A pitty was too dry to fly the gas turbine jet, they tend to light fires.
The big plane in the pic has a 250cc 5 cylinder radial engine, sounded great.
Also had a good chat with a guy about his Dji Phantom and after talking to @Crusty181 at Beaufort I ended up ordering one.
