A bit of different Good Friday here. As some may recall each year we help out some cattle & horse teams at the Sydney Royal Show (if US TV shows from the 60s and 70s are a guide it's a bit like a state fair and is the grand final of the county fairs). Due to the pandemic disruptions many of the ...

The project I am working on is in a death spiral.

The words "soaring with eagles" and "surrounded by turkeys" come in to my head for some reason

So, everything is all fouled up?

I can't go into it but yes, it's now beyond a joke.

Well it's official.

Love the pics & the stories Rabz! Super cool & much respect! My SAR experience is only ground. My time is spent in the trailer handling radio & helping put together tasks. In my younger days I didn't really appreciate how much work goes on in the caravans, offices, radio rooms, workshop...

This is a great post, Rabz! I had forgotten that the photo existed until Dad texted me with it the other day. Such fun times - I hadn't spoken to the other SAR Diver for a while (since Mum's funeral) and it prompted me to reach out and say Hi. I remember the first time we worked with the RAAF (Air ...

Dad sent me down a couple of photos, amongst them was this. Fun days hanging on the end of a winch cable with nothing but the loop under your arms...

Well a strange thing occurred today there was this big bright yellow thing in the sky. I am not sure what it is called. Someone said it's called "The Sun" or something...

Only 2" of rain overnight.

We might get a brief respite after a bit of a predicted deluge today.

So far 16.5" since Thursday.

The entire east coast of the state is under Severe Weather and Flood Warnings.

Edit to add:
Our long term rainfall average for March is a bit under 6".

Me?

I hope Sydney Harbour!

It's been done here before.

Morning. Still tipping down. Evacuations going on all over the state, with even more rain to come. So it turns out that allowing massive residential developments on floodplains that, get this, flood regularly is turning out to be a dumb idea. Who woulda thunk that? Well the politicians who pander t...

So to add to the weather disruptions here, we also have the painter in.

Looks like the paint company has changed the formula of the colour we have been using.

So I guess we're getting a new colour now.

Just cleared the rain gauge.

128.5mm (a bit over 5") 7am to 7am. So that is 274.5mm (10.5") over the past 3 days.

Another 100mm (4") forecast for today.

I am beginning to miss the drought.

It's either too hot and everything is on fire, or it's too wet and everything's washing down river...
You guys can't seem to find a happy medium... Hang in there! BE SAFE

We have a had a bit of a run of weather the last few years. What can you do? It's the weather.

It's just before 4AM. I've been up for a while as the heavy rain keeps coming. I am struggling to get any sleep as I have to keep get up to check the drains. I am over this. We're luckier than some: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1373093691326230530/pu/vid/1280x720/woL6Ik1dU4flcQsC.mp4 It was ...

We are definitely on the verge of a flood event. And we live on the top of a hill...

Wow! That's a lot of rain. Good luck, Rabz.

Yes. Yes it is.
