I'm Manager of a fairly large herd (no bull) and we fly regularly to outback stations with our onboard milk supplies which we donate free of charge with a really big smile.

 

We also supply a lawn cutting service in Adelaide which helps to build up our 'graze anatomy'.

 

We do not fly under the RaaUs banner because of our weight so we are licensed with COWSA.

 

We are hoping to add a bit of bull to our herd later on.

Seriously I am very happily RETIRED.

Yep, thought so... See post number 38 for what I do, although a few other things have changed since then. Including a complete rebuild on a T500 Thruster - that's it in my avatar to the left here.

I can see why you soon became a self employed construction consultant. You would have run out of work in your previous job: after all, how many council buildings need to be inspected?

@Chris: Thanks for asking.

 

Had my assessment day a month ago. Still waiting to hear from them. I didn't do anywhere near as well as I know I could on the assessment day. If I don't get in I will be kicking myself.
