Pandora finished

The exercise was great. I was stuffed so I handed over the role of Team Leader to Nikole one of my Deputy's. I had been up for 22 hours and was not the best for me to choose the right thing to do. I had a great sleep as I got to sleep in a real bed as the others had to sleep in a old school. By the way, we went to Timaru. Had one 4wd's and a van. We had a rural fire 4wd that they got us to use from over the hill. It had a shit load of snot. Didn't even know that we were towing a trailer. The exercise went well what I saw of it and the team is debriefing it tonight. Here are some photo's of the exercise.

One of the Sites that we were at.

Some team members were very tired.

The team that attended the exercise.

1st week over

I have had my first week of doing my new job.

I am loving it and I am going to be losing some weight doing this job. I am stuffed, but it is a good stuffed. I am not going to do training on Monday so I can rest a bit and try and be rested for the exercise on the weekend. Getting up early has been a bit harder but on Friday morning it was the easiest. And I have my weekends back. I have not had them in six years. I was so excited that I did not have to work today and it was because it was a day off. Not because I had to do something for CD or have to go some where. IT WAS A DAY OFF!!!!


I am helping in setting up the Cliff Dale Rescue Comp this year. So I wont be in it. I will be running it. I am looking forward to it and it will be good for the team to. They can give it a go without me there putting my two cents in. The hard bit will be not telling them what is going on and what some of the exercise will be. The pic is of us at the last years comp when we won!

Well, laters from me!!!!

NEW JOB!!!!!

I have done it. I have left Service Foods after 6 years. I am now a milk man. LOL I know that sounds funny but it is true. I work for a guy that has two trucks at Meadow Fresh. I am doing his shop run. It will be great. The only bummer part is i start at 4.30am but I do finish at 1.30pm so that not so bad. I just have to get use to the hours and it should be sweet. Service foods have moved site and they are now located at the new owners site. I am so glad I missed that one. Fiona is still working there and it seems to me that it is not going to well. We just did a team exercise with RT14 and that went really well and I have a big rescue exercise coming up. We are going to be deployed out of Christchruch. They are have a stand down time for drivers for the exercise so they can get us home safely and don't have people falling asleep at the wheel on the way home. I am really looking forward to this one as in involves about 7 different teams. CANT WAIT!!!. It is time for me to get ready for training tonight so see you fellers later.
