Xmas Countdown

Put up the advent calendar for the Xmas countdown today.

Sensor

Why do people design cars such that the sensor that regularly fails is the one in the most inaccessible spot! More cut & bleeding hands tonight changing it.

Graveyard

Car graveyard - visited the wreckers for a few little bits & pieces.

Car No.5

No 1 daughter is now onto her 5th car, Subaru RX Impreza.

Flash Flood

Flash flooding tonight - this is the road to my work's Depot.

Puddle

Been a long time since puddles have formed in the back yard. Drought's over with the years average rainfall passed today, a first for 14 years.

Bang

Bang! It was like a gunshot in the ute - rock hit the windscreen.

Slab

Vacant block next door finally has some movement with the house slab poured.

Surfing

Beautiful day today so headed down to Torquay for Lucy to try out her board - Gotta love RDO's.

Blue

That's a better colour.

Goodbye

Goodbye old friend - my shed jukebox I built has gone. Listening to it today and a fella working next door popped in and had a look and made an offer I couldn't refuse. Now the hunt is on for parts to make another one.

Long Reach

A long reach to get the concrete into this job - too muddy around it to get the trucks in.

Green

Thinking it might be time to get the spa ready for summer since 30 deg days are forecast in the next week.

Fail

Well, I fixed the monitor and that is working OK, just now need to fix the computer - lucky it is just the backup one.

LCD Monitor

Fixing a dud capacitor in this monitor so a pic is always a good idea before anything is unplugged. (That way it goes back the correct way)

More Rain

Instant lake created by rain on the weekend. Contractor will never finish the wetlands at this rate.

Mini

Taken to the Airport in style to fly back home today.

Brisbane

Flying into Brisbane this morning.

Masters Golf

Son didn't get any pics at the Masters Golf today so this is the best I could do.

Sunrise

Up at 3.30am to take No 1 Son to Australian Masters Golf where he is working today. Only good thing about being up at that time is the sun rise on the way home.

Phone

New phone in the family - IPhone clone but better than the Apple offering according to No 1 daughter.

Rules

Laying down the rules of the game?

USA

US Secretary of Defense & US Secretary of State are in town today. Convoy of 4 Jets, this looks like the Bosses one.

Ozone

Remains of the paddle steamer "Ozone" at St Leonards just near Portarlington.
Melbourne Skyline across the Bay in the distance.

School Fete

School Fete's have come a long way since I was at School! Where's the Toffee Apple stall??

No Reception

TV is not picking up any channels??

Still Wet

More rain overnight. Pumping out this road construction.

Ruins

Old blue stone building - a home handyman's delight.

Melbourne Cup

Public Holiday today for some old horse race.
The Cup has 3 handles, 1 for the Owner, 1 for the Jockey and 1 for the Trainer to hold.

Sea Shepherd

Spotted a Sea Shepherd ship at Docklands today - it has a few "Sunk" - don't know if that is their ships or the whalers ships sunk?- Click pic for larger detail.
