    Some people think that you only have one client (them), and you should be ready at the drop of a hat. She said she would call me next week if it is dry, and i can come straight over !!!!!!!! Me thinks not

    Did you cop that hail storm? Just about enough for me to back the trailer in, hit the shower and reach for a tasty fizzy drink (not necessarily in that order)

    I got caught out this morning thinking I might get an acreage cleanup done before the forecast storms. Not quite. Have to go back to do about a half hour more next week

    Looks like the line of storms has passed over now, but still drizzly rain.

    Hoping it would clear here too. Still drizzling. Probably no mowing today but maybe still get in some gardening later although the temps are really starting to drop here ahead of the expected chill for the next few days.

    Oh well - off to the garage to change some blades and spark plugs.

    Yep got that second lot of hail AFTER i had talked myself into going back out. Soldiered on through it, catcher looked like the inside of a bean bag. Trailer safely in the shed now though lol. Isn't it funny(in a sad kind of way) that whenever you work through rain it stops as soon as you hop back in the truck, only to start again as soon as you fire up the whippy on the next job

    Hey Sterlo, I was in berwick when that last lot of hail came. Only had a nature strip and blow to finish. Could see it coming but couldn't beat it and got soaked.
    Got back home and it looks like it snowed in cranbourne.

    Sad thing is that we probably need a good soak but really need some sun to go with it...Shouldn't be complaining really
