    If you lose a customer due to rain? then good luck to them with the idiot who mows and stufs up their lawn in the rain....
    If its due to heat. Let them go.
    Losing customers due to the weather are not worth the hassle. They will expect everything...

    Bored Again Today,

    Haven't worked Mon & today (Tues) due to rain, but worked Sunday. Jobs piling up here too like yourself Cadase.
    Got my MYOB files onto USB memory and all info for the accountant for Tax.
    Can't finalise the families e-tax as not all auto fill info in ATO system yet ie Medical, etc.
    Have lots of dollars open in MYOB with people/business holding off paying, Grrrr!!!

    Just want to get out and work.
    You can only listen to morning radio and drink coffee so much.
    Least I have my beautiful well behaved Golden Retriever sitting beside me, yep he is in the house. Actually my wife bought me coffee in bed with a kiss as she left for her p/time work.

    Drizzle has eased in the past hour although radar says some more about. One kinda could be out mowing at a stretch but I kinda dislike mowing wet lawns.
    But If I went out for a spin down the road, you would see several blokes mowing and often in the rain. I don't need to do that luckily.




    Edit; My Golden and mate called "Charlie"




    He likes looking outside into the street and barking at the postie on the motorbike
    Cheers Garry

    Windy as in the vid, good for drying out, not quite as windy in my NeckOW's but good for drying still. Took the risk of possible rain patches and went for a spin to the shops & Albury on the motorbike and yep saw three mowing guys. So I must be a slack whimp this arvo it would seem. Nice to have a break though
    Saw your video "Sharpening hedge trimmer blade with dremel" whilst visiting You tube. Great idea, I was doing all by hand with a flat file - got to get one of those very soon now.
    Cheers Garry

    Glenn, Your truly a man in control of his business it would seem. Hope you took some Buttered Bread and a thermo of Rosella Tomatoe Soup to complete the setting.
