It never ceases to amaze how fragile Western Australia's power grid is. One poxy thunderstorm: hundreds of thousands of people without power for many hours.

Using the tines on the box scraper to pop rocks and rubbish out of our paddock, and break up some of the compacted areas. Max is very happy at finding vintage stick.

Hot tractor porn. An hour's work with the box blade on my firebreaks = many weekends with shovel and rake.

One of the nice things of spending an entire career working in micro-electronics, and doing it as a hobby also, is that when it comes time to change out your Gameboy screen for a fancy backlit one, it's actually rather easy.

Bought a little 10" 1280x800 display from Core electronics. Running it from my freebee microbee recreation using a gbs-8200 upscaler.
Shows some promise. Of note 1280x800 will do 640x264 (bee 80x24 mode) pixel perfect with 2x3 pixels...

Just cracked open my very last Veloflex Master 23. It was good while it lasted. After this one's done I fear I'll have to swap to 32mm tubeless tyres, huge piles of sealant, and 13 speed dinnerplate cassettes.

After harvesting the marrow, we give Sam an opportunity to eviscerate.
Sam is a bit overwhelmed. Max is very happy to help. He's good at evisceration.

@iknowthezarbi.bsky.social was too busy cleaning the kitchen up after the Ragu, so missed the appearance of two new fruits.
Max and Sandy are always good for protec plant.

In the name of science, we're performing our annual experiment to figure out how much whisky one Christmas pudding can sustain. This year, we've advanced from last year's benchmark of 150ml to 160. Maggy Fulton recommends 90ml, but with double the fruit. Cowardice!

Just hit total nerd nirvana. @iknowthezarbi.bsky.social bought me a stand for cook books. I can use it to hold my iPad running a gameboy emulator, playing Tetris using a bluetooth controller while listening to Mike Oldfield via airplay. Oh, and drinking wine. Not sure if the wine helps my scores.
