A definite goodbye to my trusty Patrol.

Well, it hurts a lot to say this but my Patrol is no longer.

This morning we got rudely woken up by a popping sound. Turns out that our garage was on fire with flames shooting out of the roof. My Patrol and every tool I own has gone up in flames.

The biggest loss is all our Christmas decoration. Everything my other half collected over the last 50 years on her travels around the world. Memorabilia that she will never get back.

I feel for you Colin, but life goes on mate, you and your Mrs will recover, just be thankful it did not spread to your house, stuff can be replaced and nothing can take away your treasured memories, Rick
