Evenin’ all.

A bit late this time, but only recently got home from fire training, and had to deal with 50 emails.

We are one of the lucky few fire brigades that has a retired BOM expert who gave us a full 2 hour description of how the weather works(in theory).

Then one of our aircraft nerds, with a half hour explanation of what firefighting aircraft we are likely to see overhead this season. The previous water bomber contractor has lost the contract due to (amongst other things) “parking” a 737 in the bush at high speed.

We ran out of time and will continue the discussion next week.

That sounds like an interesting evening. All I did was watch videos of an elephant getting an enema, as I did the ADHD thing and hopped around the internet. I also watched a show on ABC iView and photographed a tiny flower.
