Re: Rainmakers in Dubai

Hydro, the only one I can remember from those times was one of the pilots George Martin. George was responsible for pulling off a great belly landing at Sydney due to u/c failure, shut both engines off on approach aligned the 2 bladed props with wings usiing starter and hardly put a scratch on the A...

Re: Rainmakers in Dubai

I worked for Rex Aviation in the '60s and was contracted to provide maintenance for 2 x Cessna 310 used for cloud seeding. As to the success,
the pilots would say the operation can best be described as,---- does not rain water, but rains money doing it.----

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Off to the Lung specialist for him to determine the likelihood of my seeing a few more years on this earth, not doing too bad, as so far I have outlived the 5 years he originally predicted back 2019 when he studied an Xray of the stomach taken back in 2015, this also captured the lower parts of the ...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

As I predicted yesterday, my decision to hang my washing undercover was the wrong choice as the rain stayed away for the entire day only returning
at dusk. With luck like this, you can understand why I have never won the Lottery.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Will someone please explain why every time I do the washing I have to play Guess the Weather, today started fine and now appears to be turning
towards showers, knowing this I will be hanging it out in the breezeway. With my luck, this will possibly turn out to be the wrong decision.

Re: Australia

Religion appears to play a part in this latest stabbing with the youth being of the Muslim faith and the Bishop of the Christian faith, along with the teenager's penchant for knives. He was expelled from school when he was 12 for having a knife at school so mental health would also appear to have so...

Good morning, today is one of house cleaning, so far the bathroom and kitchen have been attended to, now to dust and drag out the sucky machine to
remove the detritus from the floors before washing them.

And in the end it took a gun to stop the perp. All the gun banning in the world did not help the dead and injured.
I think we will stick to our gun laws rather than follow the good old USA.

Re: My first car

My first car was a 1954 Morris Minor Convertible, the roof fabric was a bit stretched to the point where 45mph would see the roof flap up and down with a noise like hitting it with a baseball bat. The noise was so bad that it was a warning that I was speeding, as back then most speed limits were 30m...

Sorry Jim, but you came second last in wishing Woders all the best with his upcoming health examination, I seem to have received that honour due to being on the other side of the world.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

The trouble with common sense is that it is not common anymore. The day started as a blue dome day and it should stay like that with no rain predicted
for the rest of the day, so sayeth the reader of the chicken entrails. Should this be the case, the lawns will be due their hair grass cut.

Morning, the Bottle Brush tree outside the bedroom window has burst back into flower much to the delight of the local Lorikeets, the chirping and
carry on as they enjoy the nectar making for a pleasant awakening.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning all, I just returned from the doctor due to needing scripts and arm punctures for Flu and Covid. The flood waters are receding and most of the roads are open, those that are still closed are a few where the road edges crumble due to the road being too narrow, and are likely to cause damage t...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Thanks for that info Hydro, like all others here in the flood plains, we would prefer a more controlled release to take into account the choke points, incoming tide etc. rather than have the release of 200 glt/day which equates thoroughly to 1/2 a Sydney Harbour/day to add to the runoff flowing into...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

The rain total for my area is 133mm last 24 hours with a total of 201mm since it started. The dam began to spill at 5 am and is now impacting the river's ability to handle the flow, the stupidest part of this is that even though they knew this rain event was coming and knew that the dam spilling imp...

Rain forecast for the next few days, with possible flooding out Bob's way. This is MY summary of likely flooding versus the entrails reader. I just had a look at the Radar, so far the rain blowing in from the coast is petering out before it reaches us, it is more problematic if it reaches the Dam c...
