I’ve been replacing ‘scroll’ time with ‘stroll’ time. 60 minute 6 km session daily to start the day. Dropped 10kg in a month and feeling better every day 👌🏻

A question for the wise: how much does a snake skin stretch when it is shed?
This one is likely from an eastern brown snake. Too fragile to move to straighten but it’s longer than 7 lengths of my size 12 work boot 😳

I’m a fairly safety conscious person but sometimes the hazards are hard to see 🤦🏻♂️. Corrugated iron got me cleaning up the storm trashed shed. Credit to the ED team. In and out in an hour 👍🏻

20mm of rain while the temperature was still 41°C. Tornado like winds.
The cars were both safely parked in a 36x12m shed 😳
Thankfully both are damage free.

Rebuilt rear shock absorber back on after a three month test of my patience. There aren’t many bikes that age as well as a Honda XR650R. 25th birthday this year.

😵💫 busy week.
You always think you can achieve more than you can. Everywhere I turn I’m finding people with no appreciation for the downstream impact of their indifference.
It’s like Australia has gone on holiday for January.

Sorry to butt into your thread but I’m not clear on your points here. This is a great resource www.epa.gov/climate-indi...
It’s the multiplier effect of gases other than CO2 which are of concern rather than their life cycle.
#Agsky needs to be focused on Nitrous Oxide emissions as the priority.

Seeing parts of Miss 19’s Diesel Mazda CX-5 that I would rather not. Don’t let your kids buy a diesel as their first car - the parts costs are crippling for a Uni student 🤑.
Stuck exhaust valve, buggered camshaft and blown injector seal. Fun and games. 🤮

The best Bacon I’ve tasted in my 43 years in Australia. Reminds me of the Ayrshire Bacon my Granny would cook me back in Scotland as a child.
Do yourself a favour if you’re in the area 😋

26.64 million actually. 0.038% in poverty (1 in 2632 people). How does Australia rate globally?
Where are you getting your cattle data from??
I can’t understand the link between very low stocking density large pastoral holdings and social poverty? 🤔
