I was at the Alley last Friday Mick, it was hard work. I ended up hanging at Lacey's for a bit then just going for a paddle up the creek with my missus. Seen a couple of snap boards come in, she must have been dredging out the front.

I never made it out front damit! By the time I got out it was too hard to get back out there even after jumping off the rock. Jelly arms mate! Oh, and all those smokes Ive had over the years arent helping either!
I wasnt out long before the wind really got into it. I sailed down to Laceys and I just could not get into the rhythm of things! I sucked big fat stinkin balls that day! ha
But really, it looked just barely ok from the carpark and thought fcuk it, only a small crew out, Im just going to do it! Glad I did but man, was my first surf since summer last year! Paddle fitness.... ZERO. Lung capacity... limited!
I want to get back into it but Im going to have to start off again easier. Beachies are the go! Thats why Im hoping for super heavy erosion.
Palmy in the 80's was unreal.
Just had a look Mick , wish I was up there, but the crowds are insane. Its easy to lose your surf fitness , I was getting better, than had a few weeks off, then last weekend got a few, was a bit sore on Monday . Dont think I will be getting up there anytime soon , seen the doctor today, looks like a new hip is needed to fix me. Think I might go to Sydney and see another dude, who might be able to do it, and get me back to work sooner, I'm over this pain, a few of those barrels would get my mind off it for a while though
Mick
We need to plan a lawnie surf long weekend at Double island point. No crowds, blue water and beers

What about me????
Mate, get your hip sorted then think about surfing! I have hip issues myself which can luckily be sorted with regular Chiro visits but man, it gets uncomfortable the days leading up to that visit. I can only imagine what its like to get no relief! I feel for ya, I really do!
Barrels, man, I want the Palmy glory days back. Have a fair chance of getting some good erosion. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Ive been waiting 30yrs!
Hahaha , so that means I get Mark and his dodgy hip lol

As long as he doesnt spill the beer whilst hobbling from the esky. You'll be fine!
I wonder if we magnetised his hip, would he always point north? Something to ponder! hmmm Um, no, his hip would point North but he would face west!
If we magnetised his hip before we left, he'd just stick to the bonnet! There you go Courty, room for your own titty girl!
Maybe magnetising him could work like a shark repellant as well

The weekend of the 7th & 8th we were forecast rain of up to 100mm - got 350mm Weekend of 14th & 15th we were told up to 500mm - got 100mm. They flew SES in from Townsville, who all had a great little holiday. Be interesting to see what you get down there out of this cyclone (if it does eventuate) Can't believe the media how they're hyping it up (sorry, yes i can, drama queens trying to sell a story). It looks like only being a cat 2 so a few busted trees and signs, creeks will be up and might be a day off school and work!!!!! Be interesting to see the beat-up in the aftermath by the media. If you haven't noticed, I don't have much respect for the media, if any at all.
I agree with ya Troppo, we just wont know until it happens, or doesnt. I'll just be checking the rain gauge, the radar and the creek across the road and BOM creek height thingy just down the road.
The problem around here is the ground is already soaked so it wont take a lot to get flooding.
I live in a Valley and have been cut off from town twice in the last 16yrs or so. Its no drama, just a pita. A mate lives across the road, across a causeway. He gets stuck over there all the time. One time was for 5 days. His only problem was he ran out of beer!
At the end of the day I dont really care one way or the other. Its already too wet to mow anything. My only wish, if I havent made it clear enough is, I want erosion!
It will just be interesting to see how much rain we actually get. All our tanks have been over flowing for weeks. Its not as though we need the rain or anything.
The ground here is saturated too, so any further rain from now on in will be mostly runoff. Just dropped into home for lunch and a cool down. Beautiful sunny day here, but no bloody breeze again!!!!!! So steamy, and I have a big couple of days ahead, just hope that afternoon breeze kicks in soon.
Starting to get very wet and windy in Brisbane today. Forecast of up to 400ml in two days. So far I think we are on about 5ml here in Redcliffe Region over the last 24hrs.
Looking forward to some busy days ahead, but not looking forward to the catch up work first. Put off 4 jobs today. Hoping by Monday I will be back up to date. (only usually work 3 days a week due to family commitments).
Good luck to those up North with the Cyclone coming in
Had around 20mm since 7 last night. Just patchy stuff, occasional heavy.
Not a hell of a lot happening on the surf front. My erosion isnt going the way I'd hoped. So far, its just sh!tty weather. Nothing fancy! Yeah, its windy but still, not overly.
Took some vid of Kirra and Rainbow but really, it was just rubbish so I wont upload it. Guys out at Kirra struggling to get anything good.
Spent a couple hours down there. Should of gone to the pub instead!
Disappointed so far really!
