    STILL raining?

    Sorry missed you.. too funny we up at GC while you down our neck of the woods.. exact swap same week!

    On Christmas day it absolutely bucketed down.. we had huge place with plenty of entertainment and guests over seafood lunch so just "pulled up the drawbridge" and that was that as far as going anywhere!

    Afterwards my son and GF holed up in Hervey Bay on way back to Whitsundays due to road cut and got past Rockhampton only 1 day window of opportunity in about 2 weeks by the looks!

    I havent washed my Ferrari since letting that young fella have a drive on his school grad night back on the 11th November last year. :p:p

    She is a little grubby at the moment. ;);)

    My friend Gerry wants me to take the Ferrari to his place to he can give it one of his 6 hr "details" for me. :eek::eek:

    Wants to extract the carpets and clay bar the ****. He is so kind to offer. :p:p

    Ive driven the car 4-5 times since last November. I told him ill wash it these days off coming up. We are taking the cars out again as his little nephew is visiting. I want to show him a clean Ferrari. ;);)

    OMG!! You may need to trade the Ferrari for a fizz boat!!

    Fishing the Tongariro is something I am yet to do. Sounds like fun tho!! You could throw a line in one of those ponds you have there, might catch an eel...

    When the water gets up the hill to the house .. then I will believe in global warming. Peter P - radar map looked as impressive as your snap .. except couldn't even read place names :)

    Haven't had the car out since late October. To get into our place .. most times you need a 4WD .. fortunately we have two + 1 2WD.

    Our entry road has been washed out and the $30k repair can't finish until rain stops ... a recent 'washout' that occurred after 110ml of rain in 24 hours. In 2010 we had 1532mls, normaly about 990mls.

    The ponds hold silver perch .. gets about $13.50/kg at Melbourne fish market

    I looked at dogs feet yesterday and noticed a webbing there rather than toes :):)
