I've just been rostered to work on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of Nov. :C
I can't believe I'm going to miss a GTG.
Just trying to manipulate a day off. If all goes to plan I'll be there.
How are the fires out your way Brett. Have not seen the news yet to know and every time I go to look it up I get distracted.
All good here in Katoomba Dave, but plenty of smoke. Much worse over rustynail's way in Bilpin, and down past crowie at Springwood.
We drove out to Jenolan Caves today for a Cello concert, and we could see fires very close to the hwy coming back through My Victoria (because it was dark. They looked quite contained. The smoke had actually penetrated right into the caves.
Tomorrow will be a test - the wind is set to come back apparently, along with hotter weather again. There's been naff all rain here in the last 3 months.
Thanks Brett
I've been asked if I am available to be on call for a strike team else where in the state. I assume they mean your region.
The last fire I was on I was there for about 14 days.
Well, the proposed shut down has now been cancelled so I can attend after all. :) Assuming that the fires are under control and all is well by then.Quote:

No worries Christos.
TO ALL:
We will not be using the BBQ because it may well be a Total Fire Ban day, so please just bring your non-BBQ lunch. If you want something heated up then we have microwaves and a mini-oven.
I spose the spit roast is off as well :doh:

Salad? What is this 'salad' you speak of? What type of meat is it made from? :club:Quote:

Just to reiterate a few things:
- Sunday 3rd November from 10.30 (can be earlier if you must:q)
- the BBQ will not be active, so BYO lunch, or nominate if you want to share in some Thai or Chinese takeaway (let me know asap)
- BYO liquids
- Bring a collapsible chair (unless you are coming on the train)
- Regardless of your local weather, bring a jacket or similar
- Sunscreen - the UV up here is greater than down on the flats
- Buy & Swap table will be active, so bring whatever you wish for that (inc. timber)
- No theme, but maybe you want to bring a small tool or two for Show & Tell. Something that's hard to get, rare, super-useful, or that you have made yourself.
- Let me know ASAP if you want some Titebond II or Camelia Oil (I need enough time to source it)
Cheers
FF

I think you should come. I need to sort out my Christmas shopping list :D
It's tomorrow already? Where does time go? :doh:
We'll be there...
Not quite Skew, but you should come over on Saturday anyway. No particular reason (cough...free labour..cough) :D
I was a little sheepish about posting this so I did run it past Brett first and he was comfortable with it. As he mentioned in a previous post there will be items for sale and I have a few that can be seen in the pic below. Some items are brand new, some have been only very lightly used and the augers are positively old :D .
I didn't think it was appropriate to go into too much detail which could be seen as turning the thread into a bargain basement affair and also risk incurring the wrath of the moderators. Everything will be priced on the day and anybody is welcome to send me a PM if they are particularly interested in anything. That assumes your eyes are good enough to pick out the goodies.

Also I have cut some timber and will have pen blanks, knife scales and knife blocks (for knife handles) available for sale.
Attachment 291714
They won't be the horrible jumble you see above, but grouped in small lots at spare change prices. Any money from the sale of timber parts will go to a local (to the Blue Mountains) Bush Fire Brigade as I think anybody who has followed this thread will be aware of the huge task it is to combat a fire raging out of control. Dave and others do a magnificent job and it seems fitting to help a little.
We will be setting off tomorrow morning around 0700 and won't be easily contactable from then onwards so any enquiries will need to be made before then. I will have a last squiz just before I leave.
Looking forward to meeting up again with old friends and maybe some new faces too :) .
Until then:
Regards
Paul
