RE: "Don't blame me, i didn't vote Tony abbot'

Its a problem to get the low paid to vote , Obama energised the low paid by getting them to donate a very small amount of money , they all get their friends energised as well . That is what needs to happen in Australasia

RE: Fires burning every which way round East Gippsland

Yes only shows at the camera when taken by ordinary camera , not so when on screen of infrared one . I had hoped to be able to take a pic of the beam side on , like a line , or at least see it . Simple night vision gear pick up camera flash . For my camera deployment I shall leave the night vision off , and go for daylight so nobody can find my camera's and swipe them as happened not far from here .Its not possible to see who it is in an infrared pic any way .

Its a great pity that all the Aussie area's prone to fire are not cold burnt regularly out of season , less damage to the environment in the long term . IF the Yanks can figure that out the Aussie Greens should be able two or am I missing that they have another agenda .

nar , I have had it 20 years , long from new when I got it . Been painted a bit . Rims look like the same as yours as well as the tires . Our tires are 600 kilo one's , that given they could be the same as yours you are close to overloaded if full tank @ 1000 liters = 1000 kg's plus pump and weight of trailer to .

this is a photo of an infrared camera's beam taking a pic of me . An ordinary camera picked up the beam . When I looked at the screen of another infrared camera and the first on flashed , it showed up like somebody had flashed a torch for a short while ,quite bright and it did not matter if I was facing the other camera or facing away .

RE: More Random Thoughts ....

Its the most dangerous vocation currently in the western world being the spouse of a soldier .More so if children are involved . Could be that this soldier's partner had a large life insurance policy knowing that's it dangerous .

RE: Who is "The One"

hahaha ,can't help feeling this could be about Obama . He has done very well with the leadership of the radical Islamists , chatting to them in a language they understand . Blowing sweet words into their ears with hellfire rockets . Enabling their fellows ,be they family members or butcher buddies to stay well away from them .
Bet little black man with flappy ears rung Bush after getting top job and said " thanks MATE , where's all the money gone .

RE: The Best And The Worst Years Of Your Life

morning Msssssssss

RE: The Best And The Worst Years Of Your Life

Best years would be 03-05 running feral here with my two sons . Living off the point of a knife . Picking up tea on the way home from school meant nailing something ,wriggle meat . If it was not wriggling when put in a pot or pan then it was not fresh fresh .Rain in the morning two wet to bike out to school had us after pork in the arvo . No TV taught the boys to read and write one is a published author . Worst time was when my darling not too much X wife decided she wanted to gather up the kids again . Custody battle ,which I lost with one child , combined thousands were spent . Then the mother of my children received both a promotion and an ultimatum from her current ,either he goes or I go . I can recite the phone message telling me to pick up the child .

RE: The Best And The Worst Years Of Your Life

ok sneak it in when I am posting then

RE: The Best And The Worst Years Of Your Life

Not a story as such but the best and worst years rotate through life like the sun and the rain. Each one follows the other and has it's time and place.

My best years included my childhood before 10, when I was 17 had my first job and felt all grown up, when my children were born and I was a young mum caring for my brood, joining the workforce again after a long break to raise the kids, and now. Finding myself again after they have all flown the coop.

Worst years include my parents divorce, my kids teenage years when they were pushing the boundaries and I was a single mum. That was hard work mentally. The first year after my last son left home and I had to figure out what the hell I was going to do with myself outside of work.

Looking back there were tough times and great times and the funny thing is I should have cherished my younger days more than I did but was always striving for more. Then I reached a time in my life where I realised I had it all and didn't know it.

That's the irony I guess.

RE: Fires burning every which way round East Gippsland

Ropes are not strong enough as that's a ton of water .Tiedowns needed or heavier rope .Good idea not having to prime pump . I had a hand pump on one that I used another was a little leaver held against small power take off roller , very nice .7000 worth of pump though .All you need now is a fire Robo .

Aus is a big tourist market , tourists being eaten while swimming on the same beaches that are being promoted is not a good look .

RE: Fires burning every which way round East Gippsland

will do , bigger you get the more problem . That looks like a knitted hose but did not mention what it was made from that I saw . Most water is wasted so smaller = less waste . Two people on a 1 inch hose is always better than one man on a two inch .
gota go

RE: Fires burning every which way round East Gippsland

big pumps are alright if you have plenty of water . Inch canvas hose that are wet are best I think . There is a lot of weight in a big hose ,moving fast is important . Did a fire control few years back with another district rural fire . I was the bug that day on one side of a ridge . Pounced around block with lighter at full tit . Of on the edge I noticed other turkeys had their 100 mm plastic hoses out ,dumb fec's ,called to the jokers "sleeping " on the dam ."Move ya hoses " as the could have with drawn them down hill if they had all pulled , not those guys ,to smart . Later offered a pile of burnt hoses , nar thanks don't like side loading hoses . Stick to the canvas hoses ,may be a hassel drying them but they last a fire ....mostly as they need water hehehe .
