Like many people, certain songs take me back to particular places and times. This song came on the radio while we were driving up to Cradle Mountain, lovely day, a very awesome piece of road and Sheryl Crow....every time I hear it I am back there

On my way home from my marlo trip last year, I was out of range of any decent radio stations, so I put my music from my phone on. Cinderella's "Coming Home" came on. Impeccable timing. And a great song, to boot.

[.:4:.]

A few days ago i was talking to my brother and in that conversation he said he wanted to get a microwave as he doesnt have one. I had a spare kicking around as it was a 35L big unit that i replaced with a smaller one prolly 9 years ago to better fit in my kitchen. So i said he can have the big unit with the gumtree statement 'ran when parked'. The thing was dusty, i told him that and as its free to him he can wipe it down.
I joked a bit with him as to why he needs a microwave as he is gluten intollerant and the only reason microwaves were invented was for frozen lasagne and pizza pockets. He jokingly replied by asking can it reheat leftovers? I guess that may work but theyre designed for pizza pockets...
So dropped it over to him yesterday and he said thanks, but just the word not showing actual thanks.
This morning however he sends me a photo and is heaps happy as the thing cleaned up easy, fits in the microwave hole in his kitchen and it works.
So not only did it free up space in my carhold gathering dust, saved my brother a few bucks and gives me the 1 up to store for if i need a favour.

Did a roof lining on-site this afternoon in full sunlight (probably 32-33°). Drank water like a fish but didn’t pee from 11 until 17:45 - that’s how much I sweated. Felt good to be back in the icy AC of Povo Ute at 5PM.

That'll be good for your back, does your Dr. Know?

[Citroënbender]

It wasn’t too bad, because there was no heavy lifting and I wasn’t stuck in one position. Plus I had a helper for reassembly, a young woman who - like many her age - felt it suitable weather to be getting around in next to nothing. She was a quick learner, watched how I refitted a trim piece and would then copy it for the other side.

I drove my 67 coupe to a place called Windsor! Windsor in a Windsor

Made a (packet) double layer chocolate cake this afternoon. Used the microwave too!

Looking at a Lamborghini Urus this morning and i discovered the awesome V8 has the same firing order as the Almighty Clevo
My jaw dropped !!

Great casual late brekky at a favourite $ydney cafe this morning in Pyrmont.

Everything good back in Pt Lincoln mate?
Big fire.
Hope no issue for you.

[Tonz]

I am still in shakey Isles (NZ)
Lincoln somehow escaped a bomb yesterday, strong northern winds, add a spark from ??? fire face downhill through native vegetation ( tea tree & Turpentine bush) has wiped out the local rubbish/transfer station that will burn smoulder for a few days yet. Imagine row of green waste 3x the length of footy field and about the same from old fish nets and ropes. EPA having heart attacks as all used water now flows down hill into the sea. We live other side of Lincoln and wind still away from house

Stopped a drive off from our local servo ... that should keep in good sted for free vanilla latte's for a while

South Park has produced another gem of an episode.

[Rallye Sport]

Put oil in the Escort's rebuilt gearbox last week. Crawled under there for a look this afternoon and not a drop has leaked out.
Its stained every driveway it sat on for the past 27 years

…Being able to swing my leg high enough to get into a green bin again, for treading it down. Taken nearly eight weeks to recover this level of mobility.

Cycling home tonight from work (Newcastle CBD to Eleebana Point) on the 15km Fernleigh Cycle track during night.

Going down a hill along a ridge line at about 40 kph, and a big lizard, with a frill neck, jumped out in front of me about 10 metres in front. So I commit a line and turn a right curve, and the bugger looking at the lights darts right.

At this point having committed to the right turn I straightened up and concentrated on keeping upright riding over the poor bugger, and last minute he darted left and a messy situation for us both was evaded.

Second time I have come across what a swear are large frill neck lizards along that ridge line- they only come down onto the track at night in the evening-probably hunting food.

They definitely had a large frill- did not think frill necks were in midcoast NSW?

Both times it was at night, with me the only cyclist on the cycle track in dark, and it felt like Jurasic park with the small dinos running around.

Spotted several Lace Monitors and Water Dragons along the downhill stretch beyond Whitbridge shops on that trail, usually late evenings warming themselves but can't say I've ever seen a Frilly there.

How good is that tunnel on a hot summers day.

Hey Rokwiz

Yes- it was on that ridge line downhill run from Whitebridge where I have encountered them. My favourite section- downhill from Whitebridge heading towards Belmont.

They stand up on their 2 rear legs and you are right, they were Water Dragons. They had this sail above their necks, and in my lights I mistook them for a Frill neck lizard.

They really remind me of small skittish dinosaurs, and when you are in total dark cycling through dense trees and bush and little rock cuttings surrounding you - it does feel Jurassic Park like coming across these buggers.

What an awesome cycle track - has now made it possible for me to commute to CBD and back a few times a week to get some exercise in.

Good on you. Pity, I'll be in Newcastle next week ? without my bike.... bummer.
There's some good MTBike trails off the side of that long downhill.

Bought myself a new Kenworth today.



(I wish) Noticed a good selection of everything Lego at HobbyCo, $ydney.

Will do. Went in there looking for the 70's cabover Freightliner kit that can be built as a single drive day cab or a bogie drive sleeper version. Bums didn't have it.
