    That was a lull in the rain and a chance to burn myself. Had over 180mm in the last 24hrs. Im not sure how much really as the rain gauge over flowed at some point today.
    3-4 tinnies! Pffft! I drank half bottle of Jim before 2pm.

    I promise to post pictures of a tropical downpour if we ever get any in the near future. Not unusual to get well over 300mm in a 12 hour period when the monsoon trough is doing it's thing.

    I have an idea, you'll kill 2 birds with one stone! Take a photo of yourself in the mirror. 1, Proves your sad and lonely and 2, shows me the equivalent to one of your tropical downpours! ie your tears! ha

    Redeye, I'll also be happy when the tourists fcuk off! Tourists are a given where I live but man, it gets old towards the end of the holidays! Only issue next is the traffic in the school run! Thats a friggin nightmare around here!

    Geoff, yep! I learnt early on that buying non commercial stuff just is not the go! Sure, it costs more but man, NO WAY home owner stuff could stand up to what I put these mowers through. Cheers

    Bluey, funny you mention cooking (ignoring your ignorant comment about "real smoker" lol) . I put some lamb ribs on about an hour ago. Its pizzing down rain and we'll wait and see how they turn out. They will be shown no love, quicker they cook the better. Have a chunk of hickory on there though! I'll take a pic for you to wank over! ha
    Where did you get the hickory chunks. I am scrounging around for seasoned fruit tree wood.

    How'd ya go Courty? Fair drop hey!

    I ignored a phone call this morning, no doubt for a quote. 7:48 on a Saturday morning after the biggest drop of rain in probably the last year! IGNORED! Although, maybe they were just trying to get in early?
    They had a better chance calling after 9am. I would of at least thought about answering without the "what the fcuk are they calling now for" response!

    Im such an asshole!



    Yes, I know!

    This is more laugh ----
    Neighbor comes home to find some tree cutters (pro company) with the scarf cut already into a dead mountain ash which was about 50m high (about 120cm dbh) well inside (30-40m) his property.
    Trouble is they were responding to 'an order' from a real estate agent who manages a property about 2 house numbers along & shares a common boundary with neighbour, to fell/make safe a dead tree (on rental prop) that tenants were concerned about.
    Looks like a major stuffup with no one going to pay and my neighbour asking 'who is going to clean up the 50+ ton of fallen wood on steep land! He is a little secretly smiling as he was thinking about having it dropped .. But in a direction that would have made cleanup easier for him.
    Someone is going to have a red face and possibly sore a*se!
