Just got back from Eumundi Markets and fish,chips and salad at Joe's Waterhole Hotel. Best fish and chips EVER. Two huge pieces and a pile of home made chips ,yummo.
Not that I was excited or anything but I do love GOOD fish and chips.

Oh Mackka, my favouritist market ever, have been a few times, so much to see and eat and drink and the music is always great. Love the vibe of that market and town. Funk central. Yes I said funk, as in really cooooooooooolllllll.

Bracing myself for an onslaught of teenagers for a bonfire sleep over :argh: the first 3 young blokes have arrived to help prep the fire and from the house I can see fire balls flying in all directions think I'll head on down and spell out the death of the party rules before for they get to carried away looks like I'm in for a long night :| at least their outdoors and we're out of town.

Post up some pictures later on mate

 

[just starting]

Just kitted out a brand new camo vest i bought about 30 years` ago ,but never wore. It is somewhat smaller than when i first bought it .but still fits.
Heaps of velcro and zip pockets and better equipped for the job than the $200 to $400 ones i was looking at buying during the week.
Got the scoop attached to a top buckle on one side and the pinpointer attached to the other side. Filled the zip pockets with all
the essentials to go swinging tomorrow ,weather pending.

We used to be able to take people for a ride. All my kids have been with me. Not now though. It's not as glamorous as people think.

 

[RM Outback]

Fun night ahead for you then RM... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep :lol: all good there a good group of youngn's and I'm sure they will keep it respectable ( :argh: did I just say that :lol just a little over enthusiastic at the beginning we've all been there done that so now it's my turn to keep watch

 

[Mackka]

Thanks RJ, O.H&S I understand.
I have two vivid memories of train drivers.
As a 6 year old ,every afternoon after school I would run to my back fence and wait for the 4.30 steam train and as it came into site I would start waving madly hoping that the driver would see me and blow his whistle. He never failed me.
At 50 something, I took my Mother, Step Father and my Wife back home.
It wasnt 4.30 but I heard a train in the distance and I ran to that fence and waved madly as a little boy would and as I stepped back into a previous life, the driver of the diesel blew his whistle, unbelievable but true.
Now I just have to stop the tears running down my face .
Sometimes, people in what they may call mundane jobs dont realise the absolute pleasure that you give other people, little boys or those that believe they still are.
God Bless mate and thanks for being a train driver.

I and many others will always toot the horn for kids. Scares crap out of many of them. It's an interesting job and takes some learning and skill. Because it used to be all government the training was all internal so no real comparison to other careers. We are in the process of getting accreditation that is recognised Australia wide. I wrote a bit of a tale in our Moderators forum and the boys seemed interested. I had the idea of starting a topic explaining interesting careers and taking questions. Maybe I should kick that idea off?

 

[Mackka]

RJ you should as I am sure there are many out there that have very interesting vocations, e.g. Dr. Duck, Criminologist, fascinating, professional photographers, Anolphart, professional miners and Train Drivers.
I await with interest your thread.
Mackka :Y:

 

[Ramjet]

[Mackka]

Right now I'm tossing up whether it's worth posting "fingers crossed for Ash Barty tomorrow" in the great night on TV thread :|

Margaret Court reckons Ash Barty has the goods, unlike the other choices who behave like an entitled bunch of self serving brats.
