Best Wishes to All.........

[Monkey Man]

Christmas Eve bought all sorts of interesting happenings for us, had to work on my holidays (typical for my luck LOL), went to a beach getaway spot to retreive a friends quad bike, car and belongings plus clean up lotsa red stuff on the caravan floor as the poor bugger had come a cropper, broken his arm and gashed his leg then he had to ride his quad 11 miles to a radio to summon help. This made for a bit of an awful night for him, we also got his 2 dogs to mind so we have quite a menagerie at home at the moment.
Anyway, Neil is ok and in Hospital, the 4 cats and 4 dogs kept us "entertained" most of the night with miscellaneous spats and growls, The Ambo's, Fiery's and Police officer who attended were great folks who made the whole exercise much easier to cope with and Ann's boss (Dave) who arrived first on the scene was invaluable also in stemming the bleeding and making Neil more comfortable and Ann, who helped ferry vehicles and was there in support.
The crux of the wish is always think of your loved ones and friends plus the friends you aren't even aware you have (the ones that just appear when things go bad and help without hesitation, professionals or not) and be thankful everyday that there are folks around you that care.
Take Care all and may your Christmas be a Happy and Safe one full of Family and Friends.

Best Regards - MM and the temporarily extended crew

Merry Christmas to you and yours...and to all of Neil's, too! I'm glad your mate made it that 11 miles. Sorry you got stuck with cleaning up all the blood, but "it" happens. I hope Santa is/was good to you this year. We still have 12 hours or so until time to open presents around here. I'm not expecting to get anything OD, but I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever I get...as long as it's not yet another size "too" shirt (as in "too" short).

Tony, you need to go grab a be,,,,i remember a coke and take 5.

I'm checking out a new hand held 2 watt UHF that Christine gave me, looking online for the repeater tower locations.

Really do hope to see you guys at Corowa, Chris and Jeannie are taking old Rusty.

Cheers

We all hope your mate is well, sorry to hear that your working so hard.
I'm on holiday for neary 3 weeks! 11 miles on a quad-cycle, w/ a broken leg and big gash, lucky he didn't bleed out. Have a Coke for us, and hug the wife & babe!
Merry Christmas Everyone,

Thanks for all the return wishes guys......
Neil is comfortably resting in hospital, his dogs are happy as guests here so far and I think Neil's biggest problem will be cabin fever for a few days whilst the doctors fix him up so all is well.
Take Care All....

Best Regards - MM
