Been working the last 5 years with a good mate of much longer. We were riding buddies and every ride we went on one of us would end up with broken bones from some freak accident...we'd always get ourselves and our bikes out of the Bush and back to the cars and drive ourselves to hospital to get patched up. We were pretty proud of that and broken legs arms ribs and collar bones wouldn't stop us.

Yesterday he came off down Anglesea way, broke his leg....and decided he was too busy to wait for the ambulance that was called and would take care of himself as usual....he drove back to Melbourne and checked himself into hospital some many hours after the break, his femur was broken in 4 places.

As a result of this and further complications he passed away this morning aged 44 leaving behind an 8 yo son, wife and 2 older step kids, lots of loving family and some pretty awesome friends...

Shocking.
shocking and terrible lose.! yep we are our worst own enemies sometimes. all the best chippy.

It will be dark soon
In about 3.5 hours judging by the position of the sun in the sky and compared to its relative position against the moon.

Funny how I never get snags on the door step just ***** veggies
Maybe if you ask nicely. Then again it will attract other animals that veggies dont.

Very nice da Hooters, much more modern than my old gear, a 2hp 240v, belt drive No.32 mincer and 8" water powered (now air) filler.

Give us the low down specs mate - meat/fat/seasoning ?

Always link into 2's ?

Look very, very nice - do not leave the shed unattended and lit, 460 & others will be drawn "Mothlike" to any light there..:D

Just having a slice of Kransky on biscuit with home grown tomato and pickled bean, Hmmmmm with Tooheys Old - :popcorn2:
