What does your day look like?

@Stringybark How are your dam levels? :(
I'm not on a farm but I drive/ride past them every day.
The dams are all pretty much full.
Unbelievably, about 6 weeks back we had 120mls overnight...never seen anything like it.
Water through my shed...bloody near swept my bikes downstream…..I didn't have em tied up !!
Rain like that can sometimes do more harm than good, but at least the dams are full

Wifey & I took another 500mm off the old deck so that the new half can be built in parallel...so I had to remove the old beam post (replaced with borrowed neighbour’s acrow prop) & a dodgy solution for the intermediate post:

Steel arrives Thurs, still need to recipro-saw the end of the beam off...
 
It looks pretty.

Sadly, one rain event doesn't end a drought (even 120mls).
It was VERY heavy....some filled the dams, which was great...& the rest headed for S.A.
The grass won't grow now until Sept/Oct & then only if there's good rain beforehand.
In the meantime the hay keeps roll'n through at up to $35,000 per load.
Maybe a bit to do with why there's not too many new Landcruises gett'n about ?

Everytime I see one of those hay trucks roll through town I imagine someone somewhere setting tens of thousands of dollars in $50 notes on fire...

This winter is going to be brutal on this side of the Sandstone Curtain.
