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

Central N.S.W...….& sadly, with no light, it's time to get home.

It looks pretty.

Nice sunset @Stringybark, it's a good time of year for the pinks and peach colours to show.

The smoke around the mountains from hazard reduction is clearing but this photo shows me why my house which is in a bit of a gully gets filled with smoke in the morning, it just settles in the low points.

Needs a good wind to clear it out. Was a pretty big burn I take it?

Autumn morning, Maydena Bike Park

 

[hifiandmtb]

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...

You can't hand saw That?

You can't hand saw That?

Yes, I could. I chose no

 

[Dales Cannon]

Yes, I could. I chose no

You could bite it off too.

I chose to stare at it until it fell off:

Certainly improved the view...

Saw one of bikes today, apparently only capable of 280 crank revolutions per ride.

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 ?

^^^ I like this kinda info - us here on the eastern side of the GDR needs to see more of it.

Yeah, but the old bastard (Stringybark) doesn't know what he's talking about half the time !!

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.

Over 1300 Ha so yeah big burn with no wind, hazed Sydney for a week so they had to call off more burns due to public backlash, happens every year.

Thats an unreal photo!

It's a smokin photo
