I wonder how a square rigged investigator would go Ray

would remove the possibility of my getting clocked by the boom running downwind I guess.
On a more serious note we are now near Dalgety on our last round of visiting relos over the break. Yesterday we were in Threadbo. The smoke haze has hung in the air everywhere we have been and here right now.
We have been closely monitoring fires across the state during our travels on the RFS Fire app which if you don’t have it, I highly recommend it. When we left home we prepared the house put up a STATIC Water Supply sign (pool)and registered it with the local brigade. Not keen on being away but you can’t spend the rest of your life sitting on your porch with a garden hose I guess. In my travels around the country over the years I’ve never seen things so bad. Our group of friends decided to skip presents for each other this year and donate to CWA. I won’t go into it here but country folk are telling us this is absolutely the best way to use donations.
Anyway I hope all of our members are doing ok and safe. For those fighting or facing fire and dry conditions may the new year bring some relief
