    We have had it here all day, started at 2am with thunder storm and has been showering on and off all day, lucky I got all my lawn done the last two days, was able to weed and fertilise between showers.

    Some wild old weather over this way boys. Heading across the border very quickly. Looks like not much better for the next two days. I took the day off and when out to Paskeville for the York Peninsula Field Day with a couple of mates. Never been to it before. It was massive. Lots and lots of boys toys. Only just got home and a massive storm is hitting as i type this. Blowing a gale. Had 33 out the back of my place yesterday arvo and now it is 17 and raining.
    Cheers

    Paskeville field days, I remember it fondly from my Makita days Blue. I trust you dropped by and said hello to the Makita boys.
    I had the best lobster I have had in my entire life in Robe - that's near by isn't it? Geez you breed em big over there.
    It's hammering down here too not looking good work wise tomorrrow.

    Worked thru the lot of it, had no choice. Came home a drowned rat, it still amazes me what you can achieve when you know that you have to though.
    I spend most of my money on beer and horses, I just waste the rest....

    I often mow when I am busy and its raining - just pick the clients to do that are not so fussy. But today with all that lightening about I had to inform the client I will finish the back tomorrow. Got 2 more to do across the road!

    Not wrong. I will do work in the rain, but once the lightning starts I'm out of there.
