Caught up with a former Uni colleague of mine (class of 91-94) last night, haven't seen her in person for about 6 years, last 2 times were funerals so nice to not have that hanging over the conversation.

Oh, sad news my chickens have left me (gone back to Chook Chook's real home).

What's something that isn't considered embarrassing but you think it should be?

It's always been 3 points of contact (at least since the late 70's) and SOP is not to wear your helmet in the cab.

Speaking of bats, TA was in charge of Green Corps (a youth env training program) in late 90's, went to a graduation at Wingham Brush (nr Taree), got shat on by a bat, arrived late at next GC launch, shirt still covered in batshit. Made no mention of batshit nor tried to cover it.

Getting some here.

Had some sky puppies hanging out in the Callistemon outside my window earlier. Noisy buggers.

No skills, just a love of sparks, hot metal & hitting things (I'm also a reformed telecom's tech)

Oh yes, & I can be very polite & professional. Intimidation & embarrassment tactics don't work on me, facts, logic & reasoning are my friends.

Nothing interesting, kept awake by flying foxes outside my window last night getting into the flowering Callistemon, only saw the bubba chooklets this morning, mowed most of the yard, 2 gym sessions & dealing with work paperwork for tomorrow. Boring stuff.

I have grinders, welders, cutters, drills, forges, anvils, big press, if I don't have the tool there's a fair chance I can make it.

I have a selection of hammers and random tools I've used only once or twice and the ability to make things up as I go along!

I remember what happened last time they tried that, it's the thing that got us into the mess we're in today, both politically and environmentally.

Going anywhere else I'd think this was a joke, but I was on my way to Merriwa....

(I do like the town, including it's various oddities
