Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 13.4C and it's presently 15.6C, heavily overcast with a moderate wind. Raining. There was 12.5mm in the gauge @ 0900.

What a great day yesterday! I was #4 in the queue when I got there... and my 'spot' was held by those present so that I could walk over to the Police Station (the "Cop Shop" ) to hand in a wallet that I found whilst walking to the Mobile Centre. The Mobile Centre people were extremely helpful and set me up with an 'account', which they partially filled in with my details, then explained how to 'link' it to my previously existing "MyGov" account.

I was on my way home by 0930. The log-in/link worked perfectly, so I got 'stuck in' to completing the OAP application. Of course, that took a LOT of questions to answer and information to locate. (Not too much 'cursing & swearing'... nothing 'thrown' at any rate)

Oh yeah, also when I returned home there was a call from the Medical Clinic. Short story was that my second Shingles vaccination could be done at 1430 if I was available. Yep!

I did finish the OAP application, except (of course ) for required documents to be 'uploaded'. It turned out that I did, indeed, have the required documents but not a way to upload them. So seeing as the Mobile Centre was going to be there until 1600, after my Shingles shot, I stopped by there again. They took me right away and were able to scan the documents and complete & file the application!

WOW! This one local visit saved me at least two (4 hour driving per trip) trips to Launceston.

Due to today's rain (still coming down) I'll relax for the day.

That's about it, take care all.

Coffee is brewing. 32° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 66° with abundant sun. Finished mowing grass around house. Then helped neighbor get burn pile going. Stayed around until most of it had burned down to the larger logs. Have one section of grass to mow out behind barn. Then some tree trimming along property line.
Getting fall colors after some frosty mornings.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Morning all!
35 going to a sunny 60 today.
Here is my leaf pile so far! About half way thru the remaining season. Leaves are still coming down.

5 loads out of the lawn vac! I have another pile also on the other side of the property.
Last years pile is composting well.

Managed to get the weight box removed and the snow blower serviced and attached also.
Trying to be quiet as we have guest sleeping over. Off to Coffee with the family in a few hours.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

good morning all
up very early, so I can say good morning Ron.
beautiful tree line Ron

Kyle, hope son is better. That leg looked nasty. Maybe the kids need knee pads?

had kitchen window open a little for fresh air and screen was rattling.
18mph NNE, looks like a breezy morning. Glad I got the drone up yesterday but I'll try again today, right down on the beach. Private beach for this rv resort, pretty nice
no waves though
curious to see what Gulf is like in 20mph winds

and I will take my shoes and socks off and go get my feet wet.
See if it really is 80 degrees. That would be warm for the New Jersey shore
very cool rough fabric walkway, right back to the tiki bar

one more camera to go

80's Hatteras, either a factory 74 cockpit or a stretched 74 MY with a cockpit addition.
Big boat, Cat 3412s likely, maybe older 1292s.
Relatively slow, 75 ton boat maybe 16 knot cruise but most driven slower
if you own one of these you usually aren't in a rush to get anywhere
You are snowbirding up and down the East Coast, stopping often at fancy marinas that can hold a boat that size, and looking for local restaurants to go to.
the life of the boating wealthy which I observed going to and from Florida on the
Intracoastal.

that was fun to look at while I sipped my drink at the beach bar
nice anchorage at Pensacola Beach
this is a small barrier island I sure would not want to be on in a hurricane.
ok, I think I broke the pic limit, thanks Muhammad

it took the folks a while in that little boat to realize that guy sitting on left gunnel was
tilting the boat too much. They want off at an angle for some time.
