Hi Musky, I hope you and the missus are holding up OK, this all too frequent bush fire battles in OZ are a difficult thing to deal with. So many people I know have been hit with these.
To just name a few, so as you know that people have your back and heart in the times ahead.
My mum was sooo lucky to escape Black Saturday (Marysville) - handbag of stuff and a clean pair of underwear.
My Dad, (now deceased) even more lucky, the house spontaneously combusted as he watched it, Black Saturday (Kinglake)- Got a ute and trailer load of stuff out as the general store BBQ gas bottles exploded across the road in front of him. I’ll always remember his first quote, as I finally got to speak to him, (he was a notorious hoarder of good stuff, but mostly crap stuff), “ I really couldn’t have cleaned it up any better, but unfortunately now I only have one pair of socks”.
I hope you and family manage to travel through these times well, I also hope to meet you someday in person, with beers and talk over all things BSA.
Nearly forgot, I also also got snagged by the bushfires, 2014 Sth Gippsland farm, no huge personal or livestock loss but a financial loss nonetheless.
Love your humour and hope it stays intact, give us a few updates as you get time, we’re all on side MATE.
Thomas.
