    Long time. Hope you and yours are safe. Life with a house of 5 kids and a wonderful wife (thank God for her) has been keeping me way too busy. Give me some feed back... I posted on both Masonic sites a discussion about why there are not more Masonic Firefighters joining our groups and strenthening our numbers. Please read it and get back.
    Thanks, Peter.

    G'day Justing. Things are just rolling along on here. Some threads worth a read, lots of dross of course - which I try not to read/comment on but sometimes allow myself to get involved with. For those like me who tend to read and comment, rather than start a thread, it's been a bit thin! We're starting to prepare for the next summer fire season, word is that the weather could be worce than last season - we can hope it doesn't lead to severe fires.

    Hey, welcome back!
    Or at least what passes as the blunt truth. Some people...they just don't get it.
    Good to see you made it back safe and sound.
