Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.9C and it's presently 14.4C, overcast, calm with drizzle. There was 0.5mm in the gauge @0900. Last evenings' Urologist appointment went well. Of course, it turns out that I have an infection in my urethra, so I needed to go into town this morning to...

Time for a bit of nautical lexicon... (not that I'm pedantic or such :rolleyes: ) The 'helmsman' is the position/job of steering, so, in this case, you are actually 'at the wheel' as the 'helmsman'. It comes from very ancient times when the sailor who was steering the warship with a...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.7C and it's presently 16.1C, partly cloudy and fairly calm. Yesterday's hay shift went well, although there were a couple of 'pucker moments' due to the very uneven ground leading up to spearing the rounds. She requested a second round be put out, which...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site. (Note: I'm not quite a neighbour to you. :) )

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.7C and it's presently 15.2C, partly cloudy & calm. Not much on for today except for doing the hay round shifting task for a neighbour... and when I say 'neighbour', she's about a 15-20 minute tractor drive from me. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Wednesday) morning. A chilly 2.1C overnight Low and it's presently 7.4C, heading to 17C. Calm and clear. I'm off in a few minutes for my flu shot @ 0915 (precisely! ;) ) Later on will be 'into town' day for groceries. Received a call last evening to assist a different 'Mad Horse Woman'...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.1C and it's presently 17.4C, fairly clear & calm. Paddock #3 cleaned up yesterday arvo. I'm tempted to do a mowing around the property, perhaps today. It being Autumn the grass growth rate has slowed. I'll be up earlier than usual tomorrow as I'm...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently 20C, clear with a gentle breeze. Typical, weird, Autumn weather. Yes, I'll get to clearing up Paddock #3 this arvo as it's a beautiful day for some 'tractor fun'. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.4C and it's presently 7.6C (heading to 18C), lightly overcast and calm. The 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' & Daughter went for a ride, then dropped their horses off at "Paddock #8" = they returned here to clear up Paddock #3 fairly late, so I'll be cleaning...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.5C and it's presently 15.7C, overcast & calm. The 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' is planning to shift her horses, to a paddock beside her new residence, for a fortnight. We're jokingly calling it Paddock #8. So, depending on when that happens, I'll look...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.7C (burrrr) and it's presently 18.6C, clear & calm. I put the first woodheater burn on for this year yesterday evening. A good thing too as there was a frost overnight. Also, Penelope the Pussybeast abandoned me for most of the night in order to take up...

Hmmmm... my 3rd function button (on the joystick) is 'depress/release'. Ie: to operate the 3rd function = depress AND hold the button depressed to perform the open/close of the 4in1. Release the button to return to normal FEL/bucket operation.

Good (Thursday, ANZAC Day) morning. Overnight Low was 3.5C and it's presently 'warmed up' to 5.3C. It's calm with light cloud. A fantastic turn out for the Dawn Ceremony, both in the number of Veterans and civilians attending. Bloody cold, I think that it's the first time I wore gloves, and my...
