Hi Guys,
Has been a very long time since I posted on here. In 2015, after multiple heart attacks & triple heart by-pass surgery, my short term memory suffered and I lost my job, being virtually forced to take early retirement. Margaret (now my wife) & I moved to Worrigee (Nowra) on the South Coast. This medical episode not only affected my short term memory but also my flying ability & subsequently flying became too stressful for me, so I now pass my time travelling & playing golf.
A few days ago Bob Hoswell contacted me by email enquiring about how I am because of the fire disaster in our area. I replied to him but am not sure if he has passed on my comments to the rest of you guys. I must admit that the Forest Rd, Comberton fire (see "fires Near Me" app) was rapidly approaching my property (I live 200m from the forest but 1km from where it became controlled. At the moment my gutter downpipes are plugged & gutters filled with water pre-empting flying embers but am feeling confident we have passed real danger.
I do miss my contact with you guys as I believe I gained some valuable friendships at the club.
I trust all of you & your families are safe from these Australia wide catastrophic fires.
Cheers & happy new year,
Wayne Magill
