Fair enough - been hot over our way. Most of the country is copping a beating with bush fires. Pushing high 30s my way and about 70% humidity. Love it!
Jas
Yeah, been watching the news on the fire sover there. I can`t believe that some bloody idiots start them on purpose, utter morons.
Some people have nothing better to do.

normal rotation ive got these 3 nights and 2 days then off for a 4 week RDO pretty sweet roster do 16 weeks shift (7shift a fortnight sportsmans roster) then 4 weeks off.
first 3 days i am off south to yeagarup/windy harbour on a fishing trip with my bro in law hoping to get a few mulloway and whatever else is coming through
Geeze.. 16 weeks.. that's a long haul...
2 swings a year... Dam. Is that a remote location? Or are you home each night?
Kallen Westbrook

home every night basically i do only 7 shifts a fortnight so out of 14 days i either do 5 day shifts and 2 nights or 5 nights and 2 days it works on a4 week roster so every 4 weeks its a repeat days and nights. it 20 min from home and i get every second weekend off on the roster
That's a sweet gig. What I'm sorta after. Just gotta find one...

i got lucky i wasn t looking for this job i was going for a formwork job building bridges and maitenence work and i had phone call saying go for this one, so i did because the building industry down here in the south west has slowed right up.
have you sold your business westy or is that your side project??
Lucky you..
Yea side business. Not big enough to support its self yet.. hopefully soon I can start making ome changes though..

yeah i know what you mean Westy i 've had a couple of those jobs, can't wait to see the bar work and recovery gear when you get it up and going
I've got the trial recovery gear ready to be sent to Jas and MR for a good testing, just awaiting welder to produce some ground anchors and then they will be set..
I won't be selling no cheap crap, its top end only. Like 6m 10t tree trunk straps and extension straps (that's work rating not breaking), solid anchors, quality snatch straps and custom bar work..
That's the plan anyway..
