I'm lucky to have a mix of properties with many luxury larger properties that irrigate twice a day. So work load can be what I want or not want it to be.
For some reason only basic restrictions in town that no one follows.
After that mega 42deg hot wind day last Thursday every home has been covered in dust and been using the Backpack blower on all jobs and de dusting their windows/sills as I go. But i saw the wind/dust and zero visibility videos on the news from Mildura - far worse than we got.
Spent the day at a huge working farm today and all the dams are 90% full, but had to have my fire gear onsite just in case as dried grass is so high. That's were the battery whipper is good to reduce risk - used 5 X 9.4amp batteries just on the whipper.
I've got 2 more days there by end of next week. Sure met "Louie the Fly" and his entire extended family today. lol
That person you heard that "good rains in January" are you sure they weren't pissed or smoking something!!!
