Watching the little video where Rainman Ray’s wife sprung him cooling off with the compressed air gun. They’re quite an adorable couple.

Trump winning, and there’s only 2 genders! Male and Female.
No more men in women’s sports.
No more men in women’s change rooms.
No more funding WHO.
Pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord.
No more EV mandates.

Australia could and will learn a lot from the new Administration. Albo is done thank goodness and Dutton better pull up his socks and change his tune.

Just finished a cover letter and sent it off with resume.
Not sure if I really want to move on from where I am, they are a good place to work but it is intense and rarely lets up from frantic. I am also tiring of sitting in a chair for 40 hours a week. This other position seems to include a lot of site visits which I think is what I am missing in my week....some variation to the work day and interacting with people outside of my team.

If nothing else, it may create a pay-rise and already just applying has made me feel good....not exactly sure how but I will take it.

Ok, now this is going to bring some HATING on me, BUT, you know what,
I could not give a RATS.

How is it possible to believe in something that:

A) you have never seen
B) something you will not eva see
C) something that was 'pedaled' to you as a youngster.
D) And to continue with that theme..
Just rattling a little tin cup to the entire world.


Shaking head.

Cheers,

One Mad Man.

While cleaning out the dead beehives the other day, there were a decent few usable frames of honey that the professional apiarist took - I got all the comb trimmings in a large cake box.

I’ve been repackaging these in takeaway containers and giving them to friends who like natural foods.

This morning was the last (and biggest) portion; I dropped it to a fellow who used to weld up my projects but is winding down for retirement (similar arthritis issues, but a few years more advanced). He has taught me a lot over the years and I’ve always appreciated having his advice on car body repairs. The 30km round trip to show thanks in a simple way, was my pleasure.

Not the best of pics, but we had this squatter move into the two gum trees near my place yesterday. There's not too many gums around here, but lots of dogs and a busy road between me and the paddocks, so I hope it's careful when it decides to move on!

Looks like our squatter was a transient visitor only. No sign of it this morning. Our tree must just be a motel on the koala highway. Oh well, it was still a pleasure to cross paths with this wonderful creature.
