Bentonite works a treat, long as its not a huge blow out on the dam wall, you can always fix dams over time.... few loads of clean clay dropped on the area will work its way into plugging a bigger hole ...mix Bentonite into what your using as you go if its a bigger job .....dams have the tendency to fix them selfs over time if there's a good flow of carried silt & added clay, with heavy rain they can fix them self's ... the bentonite will glue it all up better, it will get carried with the water flow, sealing up the passage

Cop’s rules for dating my daughter

Rule One: .......... Do not f#%k with me.

Gee thanks Matt, was wondering how I should approach this subject with my 15yr old daughter. I think I'll just give her a copy on A3 size paper and laminate it. just to be sure there are no mis-communication about the rules.:msp_smile:

Fun here today. Officially 46°C at the Renmark Airport but other calibrated weather stations in the Riverland recorded up to 48°C.
The next week looks great.
It's a bit odd to think of 39°C as a cool change.
I knew it was hot today when I hadn't driven my work ute for 6 hours yet the temp guage was above normal when I started it at 2.00pm...

Was hotter than 40 in Hobart today.

One horror fire today in the South East, at Forcett. Structure loss will be 65 in Dunalley, 15 at Boomer Bay and heaps more no doubt in the next few days.

Also a possible fatality as well of a homeowner defending his property reported by a fire crew that got burnt over who couldn't get to him.

Has changed path with wind changes. One mate was on the net monitoring everything and then posted - fires going towards my mothers, I'm off be there in an hour. Now he's done time as a volly everywhere apart from ACT and WA with his postings. I think he was waiting for his local to send a crew, but then that changed and he was off.

Will be a long night, still an active fire.

 

[WidowMaker1]

Me parents have friends down near the fires in Tassie, there about a hour's drive away from the main fires, Not shore where exactly but there upwind of the fires and they where saying it got 58*c upwind of the fire about a hours drive away from the main fire front

its a chita when you want some cold water out of the kitchen tap, and gotta run the hot water out of the cold tap for 5 minutes first. lol

 

[deepsouth]

Just heard from my mate, fire front is about 500m away from mothers house so he had been helping neighbours as well. By this and the fact he was on the net it must be more a passive fire edge.

It's apparently now 3 fires that look to be rejoining in his words, it's certainly not over yet.

Just spoke to him, winds died off again so another shift is on the cards.

Not wrong. I had to unload my chainsaw gear out the back of the ute today after smartly leaving it in the sun and needed gloves. Bloody spare bars were near red hot...

Yesterday I was up in Aussie Al's territory and the main street of Beechworth was melting - never seen that before. Hot here today - I have been playing around with old saws but by 3.00pm it got too hot, even with the big double doors slid back. The thermometer over my bench got as high as I have ever seen it. Think I need a beer.

Al, I think you need several beers to rehydrate...BTW nice P62

 

[Nardoo]

Thanks Wayne, I think I dislocated my shoulder starting it today. It is a nasty one.:msp_biggrin:
And I finished the beer, on to Scotch now. Bit of home made salami and some King Island blue, not to mention some fresh Beechworth cherries - I am a happy man. Hot over there?

I'm so blessed by 2 bays either side of me so a sea bresse more often will pass over my place by late avo cool things down only a few nite a year does it stay hot when the north winds cancels the sea bresse

interesting day today got a farm raised bunny to eat, they are huge 4kg sized soft look yummy will let you know. And saw some aquaponics in operation tanks run water though tubs fish one end veggies at other the system while complex feeds itself and you get to eat what it grows.

yeah I's know a wee hippy but interesting still the bloke feeds himself almost entirely from his own small garden with bunny fish fresh water native crays & veggies.
