At 10:05 it's a cool 41F w/55% RH under sunny skies headed for a high of 61F. It's another beautiful autumn day.
Theres this old codger in a long white robe and flowing beard seems to be building a big boat down my paddock! Then there’s all these animals in twos waiting in a queue which disappears into the rain.
Do you reckon if I offer him the use of my power tools and shed it would get us a place in the queue?
Fairly pissing down!
He asks is your’s made out of copper or iron?Ask him if he's the one who made off with my wood chisel will ya?
As long as you give him the battery ones and not the corded models - wouldn't want a smiting over a zap.Do you reckon if I offer him the use of my power tools and shed it would get us a place in the queue?

Big rain here folks and this place is looking like a lake! I don’t think we will be moving a car out in this today as it might be risky. I was talking to my daughter Vicki who lives 2000 kilometres north and she was wondering if she could even get home through the running water yesterday!! I see there have been rescues up there too. So it’s pretty widespread ATM.
Water is backing up behind the house and I’m going to have to wade in and make sure the grates aren’t blocking up with leaves and stuff. I might need to do some tractor work behind the dam to unblock the spillway as one of the contractors has left a pile of dirt there. Lots more rain expected here today!
All part of life in the bush!
Chuckle~Uh.....it's one of the newer models made from unobtanium with a laser cut carbon steel blade. Tell him he's welcome to borrow it for a bit but sooner or later I'm gonna need it to shave. I like to just plane down my beard from time to time.
We go in cycles and are affected by the warmth of water currents to the north of us greatly. For 3 years the La Nina brought us deep drought and now the opposite El Nina brings us cooler wet weather. My observations tell me in the US you experience opposite weather to us in some in some areas. Maybe on the Pacific side?Wow.....you guys are getting some "Biblical" rains aren't you?

The grass is so long here I’m looking out for Tigers!!
Guess it won't be catching on fire then eh?Now getting major flood warnings for the rivers so later today we might be cut off from town. It’s all happened before though so nothing new.
