    A total fire ban here tomorrow.

    Since cutting the client list down it's given me the luxury of taking days off without making it difficult to catch up, so tomorrow is a day off. No point in flogging yourself silly in extreme heat.

    But you can take a good half hour earlier on those start times. had one of the boys in blue (or black soon in Vic), working for me a couple of years back, and the theory is by the time the neighbour rings and winges, than they get out to where ever you are working it will be past the legal time, and they cant book you

    possible showers forecast for tomorrow 30% chance of 1mm with my luck it will be slow drizzle and just make the day 37 and humid
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    That is actually incorrect to EPA (NSW) website


    http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/no...rhoodnoise.htm

    Noise is banned between these hours in NSW....

    8 pm to 8 am on Sundays and public holidays

    8 pm to 7 am on weekdays and Saturdays

    You guy's in Melbourne have it tough with a 9am start!

    Well done Paul. That should get the grass growing again.
    I got 13mm in a storm earlier this arvo, and there is another band of storms/rain coming now. Looks like they are hitting the Bunyas and veering to my east though.

    Sadly I don't think it's going to get there for you guys. Seems to be running out of puff before the line of Blackbutt - Toogoolawah - Esk. Never say never though!

    Paul,

    Must be a few back yard made Noah's Arks floating around after that rain fall, wish we had half of that.

    But we are doing good today with 39 with the best predication of possible rain for quite some time. I'm actually very excited with the predication of,
    /
    10% chance of rain at 0 to 0.2 mm, absolutely fantastic ball breaking amount of rain if it came. I would be better off getting my wife's coles 300ml hand sprayer that she uses for ironing and spray the landscape with that.

    Have a Good Day All.
    Cheers Garry

    I don't think we've had 70mm since september. Had some good rain christmas day but not much else. Lucky I live in a suburb where people water their lawns.
