Default we're flooding again!

Unbelievable! The heavy rains have resulted in yet MORE flooding in Gympie. Levels expected to get to 18 metres above normal Mary river height. That means most of the businesses evacuated then flood damaged in the January flood, will be receiving the same again now. Here at home, 40km north of town, we have had over 250mm in past 36 hours. That's roughly 10 inches.

I've had the CMP front springs in back of the car since Sunday, but cannot get them to the sandblaster as all roads there are presently under water. Don't think I can get there until at least Thursday or later.

I don't expect to hear from the metal shop regarding having CNC work for a replica 50 cal either. They are amongst the first businesses to get flooded and have had to evacuate their premises for second time in a month. Fairly certain they have more important things on their mind, other than quoting.

On a positive note, my front brake shoes have arrived, and will do just fine. Also won an auction for a genuine WWII Ford 6 point junction block. Been looking for one for a number of weeks and now that has payed off.
