Salesman bob are you ok
 

heard it got pretty hot over your way today you can keep the hot weather over there if you like we don't really need it

They were talking over this way that your neck of the woods broke a 100 year record for the hottest day in October.

It's five weeks and two days since we had any rain here and water is getting to be a problem for many people already.

We broke the existing record for Oct 12th (36.6C) and came close to breaking the record for October altogether (36.9) set in late October 1914. Records here go back some 115 years.

Current temp in Melbourne at 7.35 is still 33.

No rain in sight here either. Bushfires in Gippsland and Tassie today too.

We had a tiger snake move across the path in front of the house last Saturday, so it's an early season indeed.

Hope you get some good rain soon, Max.

Keith we only made it to 30C today.

Hmmm...Environment Canada has issued a severe weather watch for all of Southern Ontario. Up to 15 mm of snow driven by SW 70 km winds.

I just mounted my snow tires yesterday, fortunately.

What a difference 20,000 km makes, eh?

Pretty soon we can avail these Ozians with tales of the - gasp - dreaded southern Ontario... SNOW SNAKE... :(

Er... a 5'8" blonde in a too-tight set of coveralls, blowing you kisses from the back of a CMP, hair streaming in the wind?

Just a thought... :cool:

Re: Re: weather
 

My dear Chap do get a grip............ this would be awfully distracting from the real business of discussing the finer points of CMP manufacture and restoration.

There is a place and time for frivolity like this........ and it is Not in the back of a CMP !!

Speaking from experience, Pete?

Hot Weather
 

Hello Max and others
Been b@#%dy hot over here coupled yesterday with very strong northerly wind. Second hotest October day on record. Half of Ada's pea straw mulch is now residing in the neighbours property. But look what the hot weather has brought out. It's a lot cooler this morning which, if you were here, you could see by the chest bumps in the T-shirt.

Fires
 

Yesterday ,

Clouds of smoke from a bushfire were visible , 20 km North East of here up at Tanjil Bren . Another big fire got to within 2k of Moe. Wind gusts up to 80 kmh .

Been listening to the fire services on my radio scanner , lots of activity , dozers called in , aircraft spotting fires . It is still ongoing as I write this . Luckily , the wind has dropped today .

Mike in Gippsland .

Re: Re: Re: hot
 

Yeah, we got hammered, just like it was reported. Indeed, fortunate that we got done what had to be done last week-end.

He he he...snow snakes indeed, not to mention yellow snow!

Wasp collection...they've gone to ground with the sub-zero temps.

windy

Max Wind and B.S.
 

Its been blowin' a gale here too, although I haven't seen any Koala's go past. Apart from a severe gust the other night while in bed (and Chris complained about it too) this would have to be one of the windiest days, that I can remember. We used to blame the Russians for these things.... Who do we blame these days?

Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy and whatever in Laird Tunderin' BeJaizus, have you's people been ingesting of late, ennaways??? Surely it's not pepper elst it'd be stilling the tongues, I can tell you :D:D:D

Ma :yappy:

summmmmmers gggggoooonnnne :(

Re: Hot Weather
 

PS: I love the lizard thingy :D

lizardy thingy
 

It has a pretty blue coloured tongue, me thinks

Re: lizardy thingy
 

They're awesome :) I used to love catching salamanders on Vancouver Island when I lived there as an adolescent/teen. They were tiny though. I think lizard creatures are fascinating. And that one has a blue tongue you say? BOB ... next time get it to stick out it's tongue (like this :p ) so we can see if it's blue, or not ...

That creature that Bob is holding is BIG ... and obviously isn't dangerous to pick up, unlike the snake over there that Keefy told me about :eek:

MAX, did you rescue Bob's hat for him? :D

Karmen.

hat
 

naw, he was usin it as a hang glider.

Re: Re: hot
 

Jon, Autumn has struck Texas with a vengeance also. I had to wear a sweatshirt to work yesterday for the first time this season. A cold front blew through and the highs were only in the 70's! Brrrrr! Thankfully, we're expected to get back up to the mid 80's by the weekend.


:cheers: CHIMO! :cheers:

Re: snakes
 

Don't worry, Vic, you would not have a problem getting out, if a snake came along :D

In my apprentice days in agricultural engineering, working inside combine harvesters, you would sometimes hear a rat in there, I can assure you I would come out of them like a cork from a bottle.
