    hey Mike,
    I'm into Bass fishing big time , Bass Boat and just purchased 2 Cobra profisherman kayaks.
    In years gone by(Mid eighty's) was involved in drag boat racing in Australia. Owned and operated the rescue boat, The ex wife was the paramedic and I was the rescue diver. Was a great job as I always got to sit front row in the boat on the finish line watching those 200mph plus Blown alcohol Hydro's fly past.
    Have been a firefighter for the past 12 years and still loving it.
    Cheers
    Brian...!

    Hi Mike, It wanted in these so special days, to give the thanks for all it received, to build a place where can be with all my family and friends, those of fence and the from a distance. The ones that have accompanied me always and the of now. Those that I see each day and the ones that seldom Find. The ones that have accompanied me in the difficult moments, and the of the happy hours. Those to whom I know deeply, and those to whom I know barely by their appearances. To the ones that without wanting I wounded and the ones that without wanting they wounded me. The ones that owe me and those to whom I owe them a lot. The same old they recalled, and the ones that at times are forgot me. You want to recall to all the ones that passed through my life and to desire them some happy festivals, that can find the peace that need and to enjoy the love of their families and of those that love them. That the Hope, The Love and the Peace Flourish for all You…
