Default How's ya Easter break?

What sort of a break do you guy's and gal's get up there? And how's it goin?
Down here the official holidays are Fri, and Mon, but Easter is the last holiday of the summer for us, so every man and his dog takes the four days off and heads on out. It gets crazy, all the holiday spots are bustin at the seams, and the traffic on the coast roads has to be seen to be believed.
Ahhh well, every man to his own. Me? I worked through the whole thing on penalty rates. Did very nicely, thank you very much . Mid you, so did the bloody tax man I think I should get a personal thank you note from the tax man. But them's the breaks.
I'll take my fishin and huntin time off season.

We just keep plugging right along too Swannie....work long days through holidays, birthdays, and plenty weekends during the warm months, but there is about three months of 'off time' in the winter, where we get to hunt, handload, and target practice ect...So no complaints.
