[St_Nick]

Hey St Nick , Great spot Exmouth used to take my Family there for xmas holidays all the time , I was there in 81 as well , doing some work on the base getting set up for the war games , Was up there 2 years ago for a break Potshot still there , and the base is still there , all run by Ozys now so the yanky quarters has been changed to accommodation units , cant get out to the communication towers any more ,since 9-11 its been locked off with armed guards at the gate cant even get out to the old warf
I was lucky enough to get a tour of the base once its all underground so it dosent look like much on the surface but blew my mind whats down there , have a great day all you Old Farts time for a coffee and a joint ,

I was there from Jan. 1980 'till Mar. 82. My wife did the payroll for the base civilians and I worked in communications. I used to catch prawns with a Captain named Steve Earney (or Steve something, its been a long time after all). Used to dive for crays and fish during the day while the crew slept and then worked the nets at night with them. Loved it there. I'd love to go back. By the way, your ketchup is better'n ours but you can keep that vegemite.

So
I woke up at 5am to take te monster out and while my back was turned he grabbed something (maybe piece of ice)
Next thing I knew he was choking and not getting air, poor guy ran to me for help while tryung to cough it out.
I quickly did the heimlich maneuver on him and after a few trys it came out and cleared his airway.
Very scary to watch animals or people chocking , animals can not really tell you like a person can with hand signs
ie: universal sign for choking

Now believe it or not the same maneuver can be done for dogs

I will put this here for all pet owners
And one for Cat Lovers too

Yes it's made by Kraft. In the UK they have something similar, marmite. It tastes like … sharp cheese
