Congratulations
Birdman!
“PVC and aluminium won out over tulle and cardboard as the
Birdman Rally splashed and crashed its way through the Moomba
Waterfest yesterday… Michael Paul fared better in MonoPlane,
gliding 10 metres to claim the $5000 prize for first place. With a
bottle of mouthwash tucked into his wetsuit, Paul described his
first Birdman attempt 12 years ago. "I got 11 metres. The
second time I broke my collarbone and had to put my friend in the
plane to fly. I've been waiting for 12 years to go again," he
said.” (The Age- Mon 14th March, 2005). Congratulations to Michael
at Trico Products for a spectacular birdman effort!
Fishing
Comp Run Down
The first day of fishing at the Nelson Comp saw three people on
the boat (normally only two per boat) making casting a careful art!
Barge’s Bream total was 1.5kgs (2 fish) for the weekend finishing
12th out of the boaters with a Personal Best sized fish caught the
day after the Comp- wouldn’t you know it! Wayne from Specialised
Welding Products had a ripper weekend… Catching his first Bream
ever at the comp and also landing the biggest fish (1.4kgs) of the
comp and $500 for his effort! Also finishing 8th out of the
non-boaters.
The Gippsland Comp was also a success, although it was a
very
windy weekend to be on the Tambo/Nicholson Rivers. Barge had
no fish on the first day and then ended up seventh in the
non-boaters after a very nice 1kg Bream. Wayne from SWP ended
up 8th (non-boaters) with a respectable 980g fish. Both walked
away with some nice prizes and are now looking forward to going
interstate for their next comp.
Snakes
Alive @ Plastool International!
A friendly red
bellied black snake decided to visit Plastool International and
wish them a Happy Easter- Not quite the Easter bunny, but perhaps
he was hoping to catch the bunny at work!
Good
Luck to Hydro Australia
We wish everyone at Hydro all the best with their move
to bigger and better premises in Morwell.

Riddle
The one who makes it doesn’t need it,
The one who buys it doesn’t keep it,
The one that sells it doesn’t use it,
The one that’s using it never knows it’s being used,
What am I?
Answer: A Coffin.
