Interesting side effect to this heat.
Picked up 2 chisels this morning and the handles fell off.

I had a ferrule come loose on my skew (probably my fitting it though ). I have noticed the clay around the footy oval over the road has opened up to the point where it is dangerous to pedestrians walking at night. Very easy to drop an entire leg into some of the cracks that have opened up.

Beautiful Day Today
Think I'd better stop bragging about the great weather down this way,
I don't wanna encourage migration from the cities.

Over here I have to wait for half a minute with the Zippo open before trying to light a fag.

Too much vaporising metho.

Anyway, Hughie (the other one) has heard a barbie is in the offing so we'll prob get a shower or two at the turn-fest tomorrow. Damn well happens every time I get the Weber going. So it'll be warm and humid.

But the workshop air con blows right on the back of the turner at the lathe, so I guess everyone'll want to have a go

I hung my tool rack up using a cleat that was stuck to the tin wall of the shed with some of that Can't Believe It's Not Nails stuff and I was half expecting to find the whole lot lying on the floor yesterday, but my planes and chisels etc. are all safe for the moment.

Just got back from a week in Darwin, Next time I go there Remind me to take some warm clothes.

Yeah Groggy; got two aggy drains and both have opened up.

Put 'em in after a Boxing day downpour a good few years back, when the water was sheeting down on the surface and building up at the back door.

Bring back the good ole days

Are you mad? In the shed in this weather!
Time to do a few of those inside jobs where there's an air-con.

No! I'm bludging off shopping center's air con. My excuse today was he needs some new shoes for school on Monday. And I got some new undies. And an undies frig for the bedroom. (Just kidding.)
