The guys actually caught more fish than I expected and by the end of the night they had come in with about a dozen decent size char. Three of them were cooked last night and were delicious! It was nice to just get off station for abit even though I was still suffering from the normal Friday night festivities. Brad was planning to come along, but was suffering worse than myself and didn't think his body could make the trip out and back. I'll probably post some of the pictures from the bonfire and the fish within the week on my website. The new CO arrived two weeks ago, and the new SWO arrived this past week, so I'm sure there will be a few changes on station over the next month. John Kivisto is back in town for 2 months and it's always nice to see his familiar face walk into the clocktower. Brad is boycotting the weekly update for now, but I'm pretty sure he'll start writing one soon. On Friday night, Monster House threw a pajama party, which was a blast and was probably the last of many pajama parties that I've attended over the year... I won't even guess how many toga parties there has been. Other than that, not much else is new and fortunately things are going pretty smoothly at this end. Hope all is well in Downsview, Maria Maria Vavro GAW Lab Operator
