Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of -0.5C and it's presently 9.8C, partly cloudy & calm with rain predicted for tonight + all day tomorrow. Just a typical, relaxing day at home planed for today. :) They are an incredibly huge bird, the largest raptor in Australia and one of the largest...

M_G, thanks for that. It was a typical 'small town' funeral in that a huge gathering was had, especially as it's a Monday... so large that it was held at the local football (Aussie Rules) club. Close to 450 attended, and quite a few Veterans. Some of whom I didn't recognise as they were from...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.4C and it's presently 7.2C, clear & calm. I've got a funeral to attend in about an hour from now. He was the minister of the Christian Fellowship Church (located next door to my Anglican Church). For many years he also took up the mantle of "Padre" for...

I know that this is considered a "robin 'red breast'" in North America... but it's actually a type of "thrush". An actual robin is a small bird, tit sized. Here in Tasmania, we have three varieties' Scarlet, Pink and Flame. https://angair.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/robins.pdf

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.5C and it's presently 10.3C [heading to 15C], clear & calm. Well, yesterday's paddock transfer (from #3 to #4, for those keeping track at home) went quickly and, seeing as I was 'dressed', I decided to chain-harrow #3 whilst I had enough sunlight...

I agree, Mate. Years ago (12, I believe) I 'invested' in an all-over head shaver... one of those round shaped skull adjustable shavers that I've set to a "Number 2" length. I bought it from a reputable "Shaver shop" and it has more than paid for itself due to the cost of a barber. Especially as...

I've just had a visit from a bloke who has been treating the 'mangy' wombat. He says that he's been doing it since I reported the poor critter. I had no idea and was even planning on calling the 'rescue' organisation again. Anyway, she (yes, confirmed as a female) is on the 'road to recovery'.

Honestly, it's a 'grubby move'... unfortunately, to answer your question, (and NOT to get political) I need to explain some of the Westminster system of government. We (and those who follow this 'system') don't actually have a set 'permanent' election date [such as the first Tuesday of November...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.8C and it's presently 15.3C, overcast & calm. Just doing 'sign erection' yesterday arvo and continuing that today. The Prime Minister finally called on the Governor General, dissolved Parliament and officially announced a Federal election of the 3rd of...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.4C and it's presently 20.4C, partly sunny & fairly calm. A lovely day was had yesterday and all tasks were accomplished. It turns out that the Wine Faeries sent me a 14 bottle case. <woo HOO!> All of the wines were from the State of Victoria. Veteran...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.3C and it's presently 13.0C, high overcast & calm. Yesterday's electrical work went well. The electrician himself was a wee bit late arriving but, once here, got "stuck into" both jobs. Very professional and was all done by 1400. I did nip over to...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently dipped down to 6.9C this dawn. Clear and calm. Election 'preps' accomplished yesterday, and I'm off to the Church in a few minutes to meet the electrician @ 0800. How long that is going to take is anyone's guess. That's about...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently 21.5C, clear & calm. Pretty much going to do some 'prep work' regarding a task/subject that is avoided here on the GM thread. Aus has a Federal election coming up 'sometime' in mid-May and I've got some candidate signs to erect...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.5C and it's presently dipped down to 14.1C, lightly overcast & calm. I did mow around the house, DW and front paddock yesterday arvo. Plus a wee wander with the string-trimmer. As per usual, I'm off to Church in a while and then the rest of the day is...

I would recommend the metal box. It's more robust and will handle not only the vibrations but the UV rays, both of which will cause more deterioration in a plastic one. Incorporating a layer of foam neoprene (easily scavenged/cut from a 'stubbie holder'/'koozie') between the box & the mounting...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 23.1C, clear & fairly calm. Contemplating doing a mowing around the house, DW & front paddock. Not much else going on, thankfully. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 16.7C, overcast & the odd breeze. There was 2.3mm in the gauge @ 0900. Last evenings meal/meeting was nice. A good 'catch up' with friends. I was home fairly early (1945). I need to wander into town to the PO. Perhaps I'll get...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.0C and it's presently 31.0C! Fairly clear and calm. Well, my plumber called and had to pull out of the Church guttering job due to other work commitments. He said that he'd send me the number of an alternate plumber... that's the problem with living...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.4C and it's presently 23.9C, clear & calm. Yesterday I did call an arborist regarding a few jobs. I had to leave a message + emailed for a quote. No return call/email as of yet. Today is 'into town day' for groceries. That's about it, take care all.

Firstly, condolences to you, Ken, for your loss. Thank you for sharing your 'journey' with us... it's what we're here for. Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.1C and it's presently 21.8C, clear & calm. I did get up to a couple of things yesterday, including a survey of my trees to see...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.5C and it's presently 18.1C, clear with a slight breeze. There was 11.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. I have no idea what I'll get up to today... but at least I'm "on my pins", and that's a good thing. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 18.0C and it's presently 19.9C, overcast with a constant breeze. Off'n'on rain... I'll check the gauge tomorrow. Tractor fun was had yesterday; preparing Paddock #4 and cleaning up #3. As per usual I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.1C and it's presently 17.2C, overcast & calm. Yeah, it's the early stage of Autumn so the weather/temperatures are 'all over the shop'. Rain predicted for tomorrow. Plumber contacted yesterday and we met-up to inspect the guttering job for the Church...

Strangely enough, I quit smoking about 4 weeks ago... but I smoked a pipe. The problem with the leeches is that they're painless. I only notice them when they drop-off and I start bleeding profusely. If I were to find one I'd go with the salt treatment. It's been so dry here that they were...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.9C and it's presently 25.1C, lightly overcast & calm. Well, the plumber phone call didn't happen so I'll 'remind him' later on today. What with yesterday's rain, I was able to switch the horse troughs over to the 'tin shed' tank from the 'house' tank...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 19.5C and it's presently 24.8C, clear & calm. Yesterday's 'drizzle' resulted in a very welcome 20.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Today I'm expecting a call from the plumber to have a look at the Church guttering, so I need to be 'on standby' for his call...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.6C and it's presently 17.6C, overcast & calm with a fine mist. There was 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0900... every little bit helps. Well, it's 'into town day' for groceries, plus I should get my scripts re-ordered at the Chemist. AND the Wine Faeries have...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.2C and it's presently 19.6C, overcast with a breeze. <woof> It got up to 37.4C yesterday, so I'm glad that I had nothing 'pressing' to do outside. Even though it was a 'holiday' that I didn't know about. Just a few phone calls to make today in my...

Yes, I tend to have to remind myself what day of the week it is... I also need one to tell me when some "Holidays" occur. For example, today (Monday the 10th) is "Commonwealth Day" [as in the British Commonwealth of nations]. I only found this out as Government offices are closed. Of course...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 18.8C and it's presently 29.0C [heading to 32C?], fairly clear with a wee breeze. There was 0.4mm in the gauge @ 0900. Not much going on for today due to the very warm weather. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a very mild 20.8C and it's presently dipped down to 19.3C, calm & overcast with light drizzle. There was 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0730. My Brisbane Mate is doing fine and didn't even lose power. Still, the threat of this cyclone [and the resulting damage to...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 17.1C and it's presently 22.8C, clear & calm. Yesterday was an arvo's work out in the shed, using the FEL with a pallet as a raised workbench. I'll finish that 'job' today. That Cyclone crossed as a Cat 1 and quickly downgraded to an ex-TC... no lives...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.1C and it's presently 24.8C, mostly sunny & calm. A major vacuuming of the house, not just the floors but walls/ceilings/doorframes/etc... was accomplished yesterday. Just 'one of those things' that needs to be done occasionally. My Mate in Brisbane...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.7C and it's presently 17.8C, overcast [no rain] & fairly calm... for the moment. Not much 'on' for today that I can think of, however stuff always needs doing. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Ash Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 17.9C and it's presently 25.0C, clear & calm. A few things accomplished yesterday; recycling drop-off at the tip, minor repair/maintenance at the Church + change the vestments to 'purple' for Lent, followed by a quick stop for a packet of pikelets...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.5C and it's presently 22.3C, partly sunny & calm. There was a surprising 1.7mm in the gauge @ 0900 AND fog when I awoke... the sight of fog got my heart going a bit as we've been dry for quite a while and I thought it could be wood-smoke. The tooth...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.6C and it's presently 21.5C, lightly overcast & fairly calm. Nothing planned for today except for the Dental appointment @ 1450. The antibiotics I've been taking since Friday have certainly 'done the trick'. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.9C and it's presently 15.1C [heading to 20C], overcast and fairly calm. All's well and Paddock #2 was chain-harrowed yesterday. As per usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.6C and it's presently 23.6C, mostly clear with some wind. Thank you for the 'well wishes' and things have improved... a lot. Living in a small town, albeit one large enough to support a Dental practice, Medical clinic and a Chemist, can lead to...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.4C and it's presently 23.5C, mostly clear with a steady breeze. I honestly don't feel like 'getting up to' anything today, or for the foreseeable future due to this bloody tooth... which isn't actually the tooth itself but an inflammation of the jaw...

I use the Bureau Of Meteorology website. I can simply enter my postcode to bring up my 'local' BoM weather station, which is about 7 km away @ the aerodrome. It gives me a good future indication of what's coming my way.

For what it's worth, I would highly recommend getting the shingles vaccination (it's 2 'shots'; an initial one with a period of time before the second). I actively sought getting mine which, in Australia, depends on your age for receiving it. An elderly parishioner at my Church had shingles and...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.6C and it's presently 23.5C, thin/high overcast & fairly calm. Coffee with the Veterans, petrol for the ute & groceries all accomplished yesterday. After a quick lunch I decided to trim back a number of tree branches that attempted to tear off my hat...

Congratulations(?) to your Daughter... and, perhaps, to you. They can be a very rewarding 'money pit'. I'd be interested in her agisting arrangements/outfitting/training etc... I ask this because, if it wasn't for my 'late in life' discovery of horses, and riding, I wouldn't have looked for...

I thought that an application of "Tabasco Sauce" would free something like this up. Not immediately, but give it 24 hours. I advised a friend to try this and, apparently, it worked. I've not tried it myself.

Happy to help Mate!

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.4C and it's presently 22.2C [heading to 26C+], partly overcast with a slight breeze. Mowing of house, driveway & front paddock accomplished yesterday. It's 'into town' day for petrol and then groceries. I may stop off for a coffee with the Veterans...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 23.4C, mostly sunny & fairly calm. Yesterday's Dentist visit went pretty much as expected = yes, the tooth is cracked and can't be 'saved'. The Dentist that 'can' perform an extraction will be available on Monday and I've made an...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.3C and it's presently 24.8C, clear & fairly calm. There was 3.0mm in the gauge from yesterday morning. Well, this morning I finally gave up 'chewing' on one side of my mouth and called the Dentist's office. Good news is that I can be seen this arvo @...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a mild 19.1C and it's presently dipped down to 18.7C. But it's early in the morning and predicted to reach 27C this arvo. Right now it's overcast, calm and raining. Nothing to report from yesterday. As per usual, I'm off to Church (leading a Morning...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 25.5C, mostly sunny with a wee breeze. Today I'll do a quick trip 'into town' to do my grocery shopping for the coming week as I'll be going to Brisbane tomorrow. I'll 'mostly' pack later on &, perhaps, get it transferred to the...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.6C and it's presently 20.0C, clear & fairly calm. Yesterday's paddock transfer [from #1 to#2, for those of you keeping track at home] occurred, with the assistance of the "Mad Agisting Horse Woman" + her Daughter. I was the able to chain-harrow Paddock...

Selon Tractordata.com, votre tracteur pourrait être un 580E « Industrial », en raison de la couleur jaune de la peinture. https://www.tractordata.com/backhoe-loader/000/2/1/216-ji-case-580e.html

Good (Sunday) morning. Well, that cold front truly 'came through' as the overnight Low was 5.7C [it's still Summer down here]. Presently it's 11.4C [heading to 18C], clear with increasing wind. There was a marvellous 18.1mm in the gauge @ 0700. With that much rain I was able to switch the horse...

'Tis a magical place, so it's possible. We do have the cleanest air in the world. I'm not making that up either; the official readings are taken at Cape Grim in the NW. https://research.csiro.au/acc/capabilities/cape-grim-baseline-air-pollution-station/

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 21.8C, partly cloudy and fairly calm. Yesterday turned out to be somewhat 'active'. PO visit resulted in my Aus Gov Pensioner Concession Card finally arriving! So my first stop was to the medical clinic to let them know = no...

My Mate (from Brisbane) and I have an ongoing Superb Owl 'tradition'... whoever loses in the previous year gets to pick their choice. I won last year with the KC 'Swifties', so this year he chose the 'Birds'. So, whatever it's worth, I'll be barracking for the KC 'Swifts' again.

I have absolutely no experience with the SSQA, 'Global' or any other QA system other than the JDQA. In Australia, no particular QA system is prevalent. That being said, I have never had any problem getting a FEL implement in a JDQA 'set-up' and it is easy to swap the implements that I do have...
