Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Ray, with all the rain that we have had in the past few days,
it isn't surprising. Hume dam is still 96% full this morning, even though they opened the flood gates a bit more.
Don't reckon we'll be getting the motorhome out of the yard here until sometime in December. You can't even walk in the yard without sinking. I hope all those further down the river are getting ready for higher water levels.
Cheers

Some builder form ply will get you out Dave. A few sheets straight down to the gate. Just need 8.
Reckon you'll try in about 2 weeks when the stir crazies set in.


And, maybe dig a hole and add a sump pump to drain the backyard.

Morning folks some heavy squalls with strong rain through during the early morning with light rain at present. Damp and cool which beats the heat and high humidity of Darwin. Stay safe Robert

I wonder how they are going to fix this. The heavy machinery will sink like a Winnebago in a backyard.

If I'm real lucky, and we have a cuppla days with lots of wind and sun, I'll just drive it out. That's after I drain the swamp first. :lol: :roll: :roll:
But I reckon the railway recovery crane is going to be a bit busy for a little while.

Morning all,
yesterday afternoon it started to rain at Rutherford NSW, rained all night and still when I left this morning. Sun came out at about Morrasett and a nice drive from there to Mittagong. Parked in Mittagong CP till Friday [thats all that was available] Moss Vale SG closed too wet, Moss Vale CP to small for me.
Had to get somewhere as Eye injection in Bowral tomorrow.The Iveco went like it did when it was new, only 22 months to get it right. Now I can advertise the 5'er and Tug complete [$160,000.00] if anyone is interested.
That road from Beresfield [M1] to the turn off at Mittagong is just great worth the toll [what ever it is] not one hold up all the way, no stop lights just drive about 250k the part I was on.
Coming over cloudy here now, big winds and a few spots of rain. 1315hrs.

Cheers

Might be the place to pick up a cheap container at the scratch and dent sale :lol:

By about February you should be able to get an all terrain Franna or something similar in there, and all will be well.
