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!!!

Morning all,

Still cold and wet. Had the tree fella over Thurs/Fri to remove two trees. He didn't like this one.
It was rotten from the bend down to the ground. The foliage originally went down to about 3 meters from the ground.

The other was a long skinny Blue Spruce that over hung the power line and would sway violently in the wind.

Good morning 14c beautiful sunshine slight SW wind across the lake, predicted to get to 17c, warm sitting inside our glass doors.

We are still waiting to have our 3 acrylic bricks panels replaced with glass bricks, it has rained, rained & rained on top of that the fellow doing the work has had health issues, the boxes of bricks are sitting in our garage, fortunately they don’t leak into the house just become cloudy with moisture inside them.

Good morning folks. We eventually arrived at Ray and Joy's place. A late leave from Jugiong. managed to get all work except for the indicators, think I'll have get a BMW sign for the back so anyone behind will be prepared for any sudden direction changes :lol:

A line up back to the highway at Gundagai have Margaret suggest we drive on ..... within 1 km or so of the servo at Holbrook and the direct injection into the compressed air in the cyl failed to create a compressor/ignition event .... the walk of shame for the km with the jerry can, 30 mins priming the air out of the system, and away we went again .... filled the jerry can this time :roll:
Today's events, Warrabilla because we were too late yesterday, Mt Bruno to collect the Lexus and load it on the gypsy trailer, then with Margaret driving the Prius, head for Ouyen to overnight ... if we make it that far .... Margaret seems to be suffering more than the after affects of mulled wine it seems, croaky voice and cough ... might be a slower trip home.

G'day. It's not morning anymore. I had the dreaded PhP complicating things early on, so gave it up on an early post.
Jon, was the tree guy vertically challenged, or was that just a big big tree?
T1, I'm happy to hear that Marg and yourself made it out of the wine growing region without too many dramas.
I've just about finished the skirts and architraves now so we are going to the pub for a sip or two.
Safe travels all those out and about.
Cheers

I think a big tree.

This is him half way up the Spruce. One hand chain saw and ropes. Amazing. Trims going up and fells coming down. Heads do a notch cut and then the other side. All one handed. With a little push, 2 meters of truck would fall to the ground. Probably took about an hour to have it all on the ground.

We enjoyed watching the tree lopper that cut all the trees down next door not only because most of them were hanging over our house, he was an absolute expert later told us he’d been doing it for over 30 yrs.

Good morning everyone.
I've started to dismantle the spa, they build these things to stay together 😡😡 May get it in pieces today.
I bought a hands free thingy for the new Ute, it works as advertised 😁
I put a beer 🍻 brew into a keg and will start a new one today.
Bloody cold wind blowing all day, I hope it's gone today.
And lucky me...it's bacon and eggs day again 💕.
Keep safe and warm everyone.
Bernie.

Good morning everyone. Its a bright sunny morning here today. Might be a bit cool though. We are off to watch the young grandson playing footy soon. His mum will play masters this arvo. We are going up to Brisvegas to see a show tonight, so it's going to be a hectic day.
I hope goes well in Darwin, RnB.
Enjoy your b&e Bernie.
Safe travels all those out and about.
Cheers
