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. Here's what tractordata.com has to say about your tractor, including serial numbers & location: https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/2/1/219-ford-naa.html

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...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.7C and it's presently 8.5C, overcast and the howling wind has abated. There was 22.5mm in the gauge @ 0900 and, as predicted, the rain has stopped. The water tanks are full. Yay! Received a late evening call yesterday to help, this morning, to pick...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. This isn't a solution to your problem... or perhaps it is. My own 4in1 stopped working and I, like you, tried everything/tested everything to get it to work. My neighbour, who has vastly more experience with hydraulic systems darn near tore down &...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 22.8C, high-cloud & somewhat calm. Wind expected this arvo and some overnight rain. Looks like a run to the tip later on + the empty wine bottle box has suddenly become full! I swear that it was fairly empty the other day...

Well, it's probably due our driving on the Left hand side of the road... 'Scania' must make them for the UK market, so they're less expensive for us. There are full size Chevy & Dodge pick-up trucks (mostly 'dualies') here, but they are obscenely expensive because they've had to be converted to...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.3C and it's presently 21C, clear with a breeze. 'Scania' trucks/lorries are somewhat common down here in Aus. Looks like a dhobi day with some preparations for ANZAC Day, on Thursday,... polishing shoes (RM Williams boots, actually) and such. That's...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.6C and it's presently 5.7C (heading to a predicted 19C), calm & clear. Last evenings meeting was very successful and was concluded by 2140, home by 2200 and practically 'straight to bed'. As per usual, I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.8C and it's presently 21.1C, clear & calm. Good Church/Parish meeting last evening which concluded at the appointed time. I've made an 'executive decision' that I won't be attending this year's AGFEST... after 10 straight years I've come to the...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.7C and it's presently 16.5C, mostly overcast with a Southerly breeze. Other than regular 'puttering', I've got that Church Parish meeting late this arvo (1630-1730). That's about it, take care all.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.7C and it's presently 19.2C, partly cloudy with a breeze. All tasks accomplished 'in town' yesterday. The only 'hiccup' was in ordering the ANZAC Day wreath; I had to pay for it then and there as 'on account' has been stopped (for anyone). Last...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.8C and it's presently 17.4C, mostly cloudy & calm. It's 'into town' day for scripts/mail/petrol/groceries. I'll also need to order a wreath, on behalf of my Church, for next Thursday's ANZAC Day (25th Apr.). That's about it, take care all.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.2C and it's presently 19.7C, partly cloudy & fairly calm. Just 'tootling along', nothing pressing is going on. Perhaps that's why, on Facebook, I've been getting submissions from the "Dull Men's Club" :D That's about it, take care all. (Dull is good.)

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.2C and it's presently 24C! Clear & calm. Despite the beautiful day outside, today will be taken up with making a few phone calls organising a meeting this Saturday evening. Other than that, nothing else is planned. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.4C and it's presently 9.6C (heading to 22C), clear & calm. As per usual, I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about it, take care all.

Right, I'm back (1500) from the meeting in Ross, so, good (Saturday) arvo. The overnight Low was 7.4C and it's presently 18.6C (down from 20C). Beautiful day, calm & partly cloudy. Really nothing to report. A good meeting and there were no twits on the road, there & back. Friday' s paddock...

La Nina also brings wetter weather to Australia and, especially, the East coast of Tasmania... we've had a very dry Spring/Summer here (despite that very localised 'rain bomb' a few weeks ago). The hay season (the State only gets one 'cut') has been dire, with most of the fodder going to cattle...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 20.4C, fairly calm and clear. 'Star picket' task, with yellow 'safety' caps, accomplished yesterday. I noticed this morning that the agisted horses had finished all of their hay, so a paddock transfer is in order for later this...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.4C and it's presently 19.5C, clear with an occasional light breeze. The plumber, from last Wednesday's Church Hall repair, finally got around to sending me his invoice = A$154. I thanked him via return email and I'll submit that to the Church...

Thank goodness, I thought that it was me. A good thing that I saved my post... ------------------------------------------- Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 20.3C, clear & calm. It's 'into town' day for mail and groceries. Other than that, things are pretty...

I was VERY confused and anxious when I read this sentence... I didn't know if it was your wife, the cat or the groomer! :oops:

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.5C and it's presently 18.9C, calm & clear. Just a 'puttering' kind of day... well, except for opening door(s) for Penelope to go outside. This is despite the daytime open door to the 'entertainment area'. :rolleyes: That's about it, take care all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently 20.2C, sparsely clouded & calm. There was 2mm in the gauge at 0900. I might pop into town today; pick up some mail, top up the ute with petrol and drop that clothing donation off at the Op-Shop. Perhaps a wee trip over to Pyengana...

Good on ya, Ibrahim! I didn't notice a thing. (y)

You, and yours, have my deepest sympathy.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.1C and it's presently 15.8C, overcast & calm. There was a much needed 24.6mm in the gauge @ 0700... which would've been 0800 but 'we fell back' an hour over night. Tanks are full. Yay! As per usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently 16.8C, overcast with gentle rain & calm. There was 0.5mm in the gauge @ 0900... then the rain truly started. Not much on for today which is fine by me... and Penelope the Pussybeast agrees. Who am I to argue with that, eh...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.7C and it's presently 19.4C, overcast & calm. Yesterday's trip to, and back from, Launceston was straight-forward. The ute service was a wee bit more expensive than expected (A$900) as my front brake pads 'could do' with replacing... I didn't hesitate...

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy the site from wherever you are in the world.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.1C and it's presently 13.4C, partly cloudy & calm. A busy arvo was had yesterday; all tasks accomplished in town plus I topped up the petrol in the ute. Later on I received a call from the plumber that he could 'have a look' at the leak at the corner...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.2C and it's presently 17.3C, partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. There was 3mm in the gauge @ 0900. Whilst going out to check the rain gauge this morning I couldn't help but notice that, due to the rain softening the house lawn, bandicoots had...

Good (Tuesday) just-gone-noon [yeah, I slept in]. Overnight Low of 17C and a cold front has come through so it's presently 16.7C, overcast with rain & calm. There was 9mm of rain in the gauge. Lovely day yesterday with the paddock transfer completed and Paddock #1 cleaned up due to the expected...

Good (Easter Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.1C and it's presently 20.7C, high overcast & calm. Rain expected this evening. The 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' has requested a paddock transfer, so we'll do that this arvo in order to beat the rain... hopefully I'll be able to clean up Paddock #1...

Good (Easter Sunday) morning. Overnight Low was a very mild 14.8C and it's presently 15C, overcast & calm. There was some rain overnight. I'll check the gauge once I'm back from Church... 0.5mm. As usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. He is risen...

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

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.3C and it's presently 22.7C, clear & calm. Easter Weekend 'madness' is in and around St. Helens! I needed to pop into town to the newsagent as opening hours during this long weekend are 'all over the place'; vehicles, a lot with caravans, and people...

Ta for that and, indeed, it's what I would've done if it was the pipe itself. (Navy damage control training) Unfortunately it's the copper band fitting and I've been informed by the retired plumber parishioner that it will require an actual plumber to fix. My 'jury rig', self-vulcanising...

Good (Good Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.2C and it's presently dipped down to 9.8C (then heading to 22C), clear & calm. I got the mowing around the house/driveway done, then decided to top up the windscreen washer (water + anti-bug solution). That was followed by remembering to clean the...

Good (Maundy Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.3C and it's presently 20.6C, clear & calm. Yesterday's town-trip started with getting "Hollywood Parking" outside of the Post Office, which was great as a mysterious case of wine had arrived for collection. I then attended the monthly coffee...

People/techs don't use a spring loaded solder-sucker anymore?

G'day Cobber and welcome to TBN from Tassie. I agree with the majority recommending a 40+ hp tractor... and you're going to require a counterbalancing implement or ballast box to use the 4in1 bucket. Sorry to hear that your local dealerships are a bit 'shakey', here in Tassie reputation is...

Not so much for the initial treatment of the fencing wood but people around here will use old/used hydraulic fluid after a change.

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 15.3C, partly cloudy and calm. I heard/watched one of the first reports of the bridge collapse as 0130 there is 1630 here. Tragic. Reports are that the ship managed to get a "MAYDAY" call out that resulted in many lives being...

Good (Tuesday) Morning. Overnight Low of 12.5C and it's presently 18.2C, overcast (no rain) & fairly calm. Just a relaxing day today. Dhobi done yesterday arvo... that's how exciting it is at this time of the year. :) That's about it, take care all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.1C and it's presently 21.8C, partly cloudy with some wind. Not much scheduled for this week, apart from Holy Week Church services (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday & Easter Sunday. I did receive an email saying that the water leak at the Church Hall was...

Good (Palm Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.1C and it's presently 13.9C, mostly overcast with a slight breeze. Yesterday's tasks done and voted. Upon returning home I took down the political signage at my roadside gate, then stored the diesel. Fire extinguisher replaced, and better secured...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 18.9C, lightly clouded and fairly calm. Paddock #6 cleaned up + an over-the-fence conversation with the neighbour who lost their son back in January. All's well with them & getting on with life. The bo's'n call lesson went well...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.9C and it's presently 21C, fairly clear with a gentle breeze. Horse transfer accomplished so the clean-up of Paddock #6 awaits. The local Navy Cadet unit has asked me to come in this evening to instruct on playing the bo's'n 'call' (or 'pipe', either is...

Hmmm... In 'my' Navy talk it's "scran". :) It was years after I'd retired before I finally learnt that it was an acronym from the 18th century for a type of, what we'd call today, 'trail mix'. Sultanas, Currants, Raisins And Nuts which was stored/packaged in burlap sacks stamped S.C.R.A.N.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low was a very cool 3.8C and it's presently 19.9C, clear and calm. There was 0.4mm in the gauge from yesterday arvo's sporadic showers. Before heading into town yesterday, I received a call from my Church's Minister regarding a water leak (I'm a Warden, so...

Good (Wednesday) early arvo... I slept in for some reason. The overnight Low was 18.1C followed by a cold front, so the present temperature is 12.9C, cloudy with a breeze. There was 4.3mm in the gauge. It's 'into town' day for mail, scripts and groceries. There's a paddock transfer 'looming'...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was a balmy 19.1C and it's presently 24.9C, overcast with drizzly rain and calm heading to a predicted windy arvo. There was 10.9mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. A 'grey day' with not much going on. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low was 18.7C and it's presently 24.5C, partly cloudy with the wind 'picking up'. There was 6.2mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. A lovely, relaxing, day yesterday and it looks to be continuing for the foreseeable future. More rain is expected tomorrow = (y) ...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.1C and it's presently 13C, overcast and calm. The Pony Club event turned out to be a 'day' thing, so the horses returned in the early evening, yesterday. I've alerted the 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' that the horses have managed to remove the hay-net off...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.8C and it's presently 22.8C, clear and calm. Lovely day yesterday and the Church Meeting went well, and quickly. Home by 1645. I'm 'horseless' today as the 'Mad Horse Woman', 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' & Daughter have collected their respective...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.6C and it's presently 20.2C, clear and calm. Woken up a wee bit early by Penelope making her "I've caught something! Now what do I do?" meow. It was a not-quite-dead mouse, which must be dead (somewhere) now, as she's no longer interested.:rolleyes...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.8C and it's presently 20.0C, partly cloudy and calm. There was a tiny 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday's 'tip' run & grocery shopping was quick & easy. Nothing really planned for today. (y) There again, I'm healthy & above ground so it's all...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.8C and it's presently 20.9C, overcast & calm. It's 'into town' day for groceries. Prior to that I'll make a tip run, especially to recycle the mysteriously accumulated empty wine bottles (where ARE they coming from???) That's about it, take care all.

Congratulations on your new 'rig' and welcome to TBN from Downunder. Enjoy it & the site from wherever in the world you are.

Fender handle for 18 Kubota.

There's no need for a snowblower where I live, it's never snowed here at my elevation... but thanks for the 'tip'. Mulching with the Z-turn, once I twigged to the concept years ago, does a good job of pulverising/spreading the droppings after first chain-harrowing. Heck, depending on the...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 21.8C and it's presently 22.3C, mostly overcast and sporadically gusty. Ah, yes... early Autumn weather is always topsy-turvy, eh? Paddock #5 clean-up went well. This was the first time that the 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' was present whilst I did it (she...

Good (Monday) morning. (Apparently it's a 'holiday' today; "8 Hour Workday") The overnight Low was 18.1C and it's presently 24C, overcast and calm. There was 0.2mm in the gauge... hey, every little bit helps. Yesterdays predicted High was a 'bust'. Briefly made it to 26C, which was good. If...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 19.1C and it's presently 17.6C(?)... oh, well, the Aerodrome says it's 21C. It's partly cloudy and calm. There was 0.7mm in the gauge. The Bureau of Manyguesses 'say' it'll top 32C today... we'll see. I'm off to Church in a half hour and then the rest of...

Well, it's a Hindi (India) word for "washing". It's a standard Royal Navy (& RCN, RAN, RNZN) slang word for laundry & cleaning. The reason for using it is that the RN used to employ civilians to do some of the more menial tasks onboard their warships and Indian 'dhobi-wallahs' were typically...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.1C and it's presently 21C, overcast, calm and (surprisingly) lightly raining! The meteorologists certainly didn't predict that. It started around 0900, so I'll look at the gauge tomorrow. Signs done and paddock transfer done. What with the unexpected...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.6C and it's presently 21.8C, partly cloudy with variable winds. I got a call, yesterday arvo, from a friend to assist him this arvo with setting up a few 'Vote for Me' signs... we've got a State election at the end of the month. After that, the "Mad...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 21.8C, partly cloudy and somewhat calm. Yesterday's top temp, here at Wagtail Park, was 34.2C... it'll be a lot cooler today. A good run 'into town' with everything accomplished quickly. I then 'bravely' hid inside during the...

Congratulations on your new 'toy'. If you've never driven one before, practice driving it for a while without mowing... I found that (depending on which 'hand' you are), keep your 'off side' lever at a steady speed and use your 'dominate side' lever to adjust for steering. You'll understand...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.4C and it's presently 28.2C (heading to 30+C), clear & calm. It's 'into town day' for one med script, petrol for the ute and groceries. Nothing much planed for the rest of the day what with the temperature and such. That's about it, take care all...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.1C and it's presently 21.4C, fairly clear & calm. Well, yesterday turned out to be a 'no day' regarding a house/driveway mowing. Perhaps I was simply 'recovering' from a busy February & weekend. Either way, I feel no guilt. :) I do need to get after...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low was a cool 5.1C and it's presently 17.8C, fairly clear with a breeze + gusts. Lovely day, yesterday. The rain event (almost a fortnight ago) has certainly greened everything up, to the point where I'm thinking of mowing around the house/driveway this arvo...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.0C and it's presently 14.4C, fairly clear with a breeze. Arrived at my 'procedure' in ample time and everything went fine... especially bantering with the Doctor as he performed it. :D His "surgical" outfit was white coveralls & white gumboots...

Did you get a free Kubota ballcap? As an 'Official Tractor Advisor', a hat for you should have been included in the negotiations.

G'day Cobber... yes, you're going to have to drain that engine oil and put in specific "diesel" engine oil. You'll have to change the oil filter too. Lesson learnt Mate.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.2C and it's presently 15.1C, calm with high overcast. I'm 'up' early for my get away to Launie; leaving in a half hour. My medical 'procedure' is at 1100... the Urologist is going to have a look in my bladder (and there's only one way he can put a...

G'day Mate, I posted/welcomed you in your other thread. Enjoy the site.

Good (Friday) morning and, for us here in Aus, the first day of Autumn. Overnight Low of 11.8C and it's presently 25.6C. Clear with the odd wind gust. Yesterday's funeral was very well attended and it turned out that she was a Veteran herself. Home by 1200. The evening supper/meeting was also...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 20.5C and it's presently 23.1C, somewhat gusty & partly cloudy. There was 0.5mm in the gauge. Apparently 'people' are calling today (29th Feb.) "Procrastination Day" as there's still a normal amount of days in the year remaining. Being retired, it...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 17'5C and it's presently 20.6C, overcast & calm. There was 0.3mm in the gauge @ 0900. Well, the ear-flushing was very successful... a very satisfying sensation when the 'crud' finally 'lets go'. Both ears done and my Veteran's "White Card" paid for it...

Congratulations Mate.

Congratulations on your new rig Mate. Welcome to TBN from Downunder, to wherever in the world you are.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 14.4C, overcast with a light breeze. Yesterday's Church's caravan shifting went well with plenty of blokes showing up to help. Before leaving here for there I stopped by my shed and grabbed my Makita hammer-drill & bits; just in...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.8C and it's presently 17.3C, clear with a breeze. I'm up fairly early (for a retiree) as there's a 1000 job that needs doing on the Church grounds; a 'bunch' of us are going to manually shift a caravan (used as temporary accommodation for those in...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.7C and it's presently 16.2C (yes, the weather station is working), partly cloudy & calm. Right ear is slowly 'clearing', but I still need both of them 'flushed'. I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. That's about...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of10.3C and it's presently ? , maybe 19C (Aerodrome). My outdoor sensor has frozen, so it looks like I'll be searching for a new weather station. It's clear and calm. A fairly low-key day is planned. Paddock #4 was cleaned up yesterday late-morning. The...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.1C and it's presently 23.3C, the odd wind gust & clear. I won't bore you with the details but, suffice it to say, I really need to have my earwax flushed. Particularly my right ear. I've gone truly deaf in that ear and 'ear drops' aren't helping. I've...

Surely this would not include such informative threads as "Pallets in field"! :eek:

Thanks for that, I'm never certain on conversions from Imperial to Metric. It was what the Weatherguessers call a 'weather or rain "bomb"'. The thunderstorm cell just hovered over the St Helens area for hours. True story, my friends in Pyengana were hit with this system too. They posted photos...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 20.1C (humidity driven) and it's presently 27.5C (heading to 30+C). Yep, "it's not the heat, it's the humidity." It's sunny and calm. There was 197.2mm in the gauge at 0900! I also needed to adjust yesterday gauge reading up to 37.5mm. So the total...

Good (Wednesday) mid-arvo. Overnight Low of 17.5C and it's presently 22.9C... it's clearing up and calm. Now for the reason that I'm 'late' checking in; yesterday I mentioned that it's been very dry over these Summer months, especially January and this month. Everything is brown, grass isn't...

I'm assuming that your 'truck' is a pick-up, which to me is a ute (Aussie for a "Utility"). Mine is an '07 Toyota Hilux extended cab V6 2WD. I bought it 'previously loved' in 2012. It's my only vehicle and use it as such + towing the occasional horse float or hauling a full round of hay in the...

I've used a "Nespresso" capsule coffee machine for the last 16 years. A fresh mug of coffee, in a few minutes, at a very drinkable temperature. I bought my machine from a large department store; they even demonstrated the machine (Hey! Free cup of coffee. (y) ☕) You choose your type/size of pod...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was, again, 15.9C (for those of you keeping score) and it's presently 24C, overcast & calm. Some rain is expected this evening. The 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' has requested a paddock shift so I'll have a wee bit of tractor fun this arvo placing a round into...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.4C and it's presently 26.3C, high/wispy clouds and calm. I did decide to 'get off my arse' and go to the PO yesterday arvo. Picked up my coffee pod order from Nespresso. Three days from ordering to PO delivery was excellent for Tassie. So now...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.1C and it's presently 25.4C, clear & calm. Good meeting last evening which turned out to not being an 'official' one (with Minutes submitted). Our Guest Speaker (who's also a friend) had to back out at practically the last minute as he remembered that...

Good (Thursday) early arvo. Overnight Low of 7.8C and it's presently 24.9C, clear and calm. Lovely, intimate, Ash Wednesday Service yesterday. The wee jobs at the Church Hall went well... I installed a couple of 'latches' on some doors to render them safe for when Sunday School is underweigh...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.5C and it's presently 22.4C, overcast and calm. Yesterday's trip to Launceston (Launie :) ) to see my Urologist went very well and he won't need to see me for another year, except there's juuuust one more 'test' he wants to do. So I'll be back to see...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.9C and it's presently 16.5C, mostly clear and somewhat calm. Parrish meeting went until 1800 with lots of things discussed as we didn't have a meeting last month. Nothing 'pressing' though. I'm off to Launceston, later on this morning (11-ish). One...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 26.8C, clear and fairly calm. Not much on for today however I do have a Parish Council meeting late this arvo @1630. That's about it, take care all.

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.2C and it's presently 25C, mostly clear with a gentle breeze. 'Into town' excursion went well, and quickly. Which left plenty of time to tend to Paddock #3. On the second circular 'pass' around that paddock I noticed that I had dropped one of the...

Good (Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently 24.7C, clear & calm. There was a paltry 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0900. (Still, that's better than 'a sharp stick in the eye' :D) The horses were, indeed, transferred to Paddock #4 yesterday evening so, later on this arvo, I'll have...

G'day Mate... there's no high-speed ferry between us and the mainland. Although they are built here. "Incat" Incat - Wikipedia For the most part, people fly, unless you need to take your vehicle. Bookings, months in advance, are required on the "Spirit of Tasmania" ferries. And, yes, it is...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.4C and it's presently 19.1C, overcast with a gentle breeze. There was 2.5mm of rain in the gauge @ 0900. Again, there's not much going on for me, down here. The short 'heatwave' is over & we're back to normal temps. Good. I'm not a 'hot climate'...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 18.2C and it's presently 27.7C, high overcast and calm. Yesterday my house top outside temperature reached 39.5C, 8.5 degrees (C) higher than the aerodrome. Woof. I 'bravely' hid in the house for the remainder of the day. All of my paddocks are...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 16.3C and it's presently 19C (predicted High of 31C!), mostly clear and fairly calm. Penelope the pussybeast made the strangest 'mews' last night (2300) after I'd turned in to bed. She wanted/needed to go outside... I had visions of another abandoned...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.8C and it's presently 22.0C, mostly overcast with a steady wind. 'Into town' run, yesterday, was successful in all respects. The arvo turned into a 'replace batteries' in a number of things as my weather station was intermittently dropping out at...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 15.8C and it's presently 22.5C, partly cloudy with the odd wind. Early breakfast (0730) in town with a few friends, one of whom is moving to Victoria on Saturday. Called the TV antennae bloke when I got home. Unknown when he'll be able to get to me but...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.9C and it's presently 17.1C (heading to 25C), calm and mostly clear. The flagpole is back up. I'm off to church in 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 25.3C, clear and 'blustery'. The wind is predicted to last until evening so I've taken down my flagpole in anticipation. Relaxing day yesterday and I've 'planned' on a repeat for today. Mind you, it looks like my free-to-air TV...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.1C and it's presently 24.2C, clear and 'windy'. CT scan trip to Launie & back was clear and uneventful. I was in'n'out in a matter of a half hour. Home by 1740. It's been a busy week, so I'm just going to take it easy this 'Australia Day' and...

I, too, have not heard of this "fuel polishing unit". But, then again, I employ an Australian fuel additive called "Fuel Doctor" which accomplishes the same. Years ago the "fuel Doctor" company attempted to market their product overseas but the 'name', website and associated copyright details...

I understand. I use a "Bug-off" additive to my windscreen washer fluid, which works well under normal conditions. Last night, however, was a constant torrent of bugs. Especially the tiny midge size. What with the chance of critters, especially wombats, on the two lane highway, I didn't dare...

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.1C and it's presently 24.3C, clear & calm. There was 3.0mm of rain in the gauge @ 0800... the 'official' aerodrome weather station recorded 0mm; which is the main reason that I record my own gauge. Successful run 'into town'. The rain only lasted...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.8C and it's presently 19C, partly cloudy and somewhat calm at the moment. There was 0.7mm in the gauge @ 0900. Today, on top of doing a 'tip run' & putting things back where they belong, I'll be doing a horse paddock shift from #1 to #2. The weather...

Good (Sunday) evening. It's been a long day but I seem to recall that the overnight Low was 12.5C. I haven't a clue as to today's High (BoM says 21C at the aerodrome) however I know that the UV topped 11 as my neck is mildly burnt. It started calm/overcast, then clear/windy followed by...

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.3C and it's presently 20.9C, cloudy and calm (which will soon become breezy). Nothing in the gauge but there has been the odd bit of moisture coming down. My Brisbane Mate got away yesterday on time... for some reason I went to bed shortly after 2130...

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.5C and it's presently 21.5C, partly cloudy with an occasional breeze. The aerodrome reported 0.8mm but there was nothing in my gauge. Well, my Mate from Brisbane is currently packing up his car and will be heading off this arvo @ 1500. We'll do a...

Um... I do. 0900, or close enough, every time it rains. My gauge is on a corner post of Paddock #5, away from trees and the shed. I keep an annual chart in the shed. The BOM is at the aerodrome, about 7 km away towards the coast and I typically receive more rain than it records.

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

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.4C and it's presently 25.6C, partly cloudy with a gentle breeze. Yesterday's 'into town' run went well and, after lunch, I went out to the shed to start pouring oil... but first I needed to remove the old engine oil filter. "No problem", says I, "...

I don't think so, in this case. The lad had ADHD and was being 'home schooled', at least for the last 4 years. In that time I rarely saw him and if he had any friends they would've been visiting with their parents. I'm not about to speculate.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 20.5C and it's presently down to 17.7C, overcast with rain, calm with wind increasing later. There was 3.0mm in the gauge @ 0900. Very sad news regarding my other neighbours (behind me but not the ones that I have Christmas lunch with); they lost their...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.5C and it's presently 22.8C. High overcast with a gentle breeze. Yesterday's Doctor's appointment was a quick in'n'out but it resulted in making a further appointment, in Launceston, for a CT scan later this month. Bugger me, that'll cost despite any...

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.7C and it's presently 20.5C, mostly cloudy with wind expected to increase this arvo. The Hills Hoist was 'assembled' and mounted yesterday and I'm glad that my Mate was on-hand to assist. And, no, we didn't really read the "instruction booklet"...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.7C and it's presently 18.8C, overcast and fairly calm. There was 4.5mm in the gauge @ 0900. Yesterday's trip to Launie (and Longford) was successful; Longford was first to my JD Dealership to get 30ltrs of hydraulic fluid (bugger me! Is that stuff...

Good (Sunday) Christmas Eve morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently 18C, clear & calm. I'm down to one houseguest now, my Mate from Brisbane. Penelope did, finally, come 'in' yesterday arvo, around 1600. It's going to be a long day today as I've got Church this morning at the regular...

Good (Saturday) "Tibb's Eve" morning. Overnight Low of 11.1C and it's presently 17.4C, overcast and fairly calm. There was 0.2mm in the gauge @ 0900. Penelope the pussybeast decided that it was another occasion to sleep in the shed. At least I wasn't prepared to wait up for her. She was up on...

Yep. I put my light bar on my ROPS for the very same reason as Eddie... I could not 'see' around a round bale when dark. Power was easy as there's a pre-existing wired 'jack/plug' behind the seat.

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

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10C and it's presently 17C (although the wind-chill certainly makes it feel colder). It's overcast and breezy. Water trough set up & filled in Paddock #6 in anticipation of the agisted horses returning today... which they have now. The pin and securing...

The same thing as every year; unconditional love from me. (even when she doesn't come 'in' when I want her to... like NOW! ;) )

I sure do... I've even driven it through town (St Helens) on the way to a haying or slashing job or on the "Tasman Highway" (posted @ 100KPH) around Pyengana during haying season. SMV triangle prominently displayed, hazard lights and an amber 'whoop-whoop' flashing. I'll pull over when safe to...

Good (Monday) evening. Overnight Low of 10.7C and it's presently 18.2C (@ 2306). Mostly cloudy today and tomorrow; rain is expected. I'm still up due to Penelope not having 'come in' due to my house guests... she will, eventually, or she'll just have to spend the night outside. My Mate from...

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.2C and it's presently 18.8C, mostly cloudy with a breeze. Very productive arvo, yesterday. I took a chance on getting both the x-ray and the blood-work out of the way; walk-in for the x-ray took 20 minutes which left me enough time to see Sister at the...

Welcome to life in Australia. 😁 That there is what we commonly call a "Bull Bar".

When you put the new fuel filter on, did you first fill it (the filter) with fuel?
