Cocktails!!! and Music

G'day all

No worries Shesa - I slept through it anyhow! - We'll just have to wait another 450+ years for the next Super Blue Blood Moon!
Must say, it did cause a few dramas down here in low lying areas, with the huge King tides that came with it.

Well we had a cool weekend & yours truly had a jumper on again, & I was seriously thinking about digging my old Ugg boots out of the cupboard.
Had a little rain, but I only ended up getting 42mm out of it after 3 days of drizzle! We're heading back up to 37C for later in the week - so, you know what that means??? Yes! - the air-con will get another workout, & I'll just have to stay well & truly hydrated!

Hope Y'all R well

Here's a good mate of mine from NZ (NZ's top steeler) Paddy Long, playing a choon you might know, at one of our regular socials.
Paddy plays every year at our annual festival, & he is currently in Dallas Tx. for their big steel festival during early March.

We had a nice awakening this morning at 5:15 am. The smoke detector in the basement needs a new battery and I haven't put it in as a ladder is involved, which I have become leery of in my more mature status. So the wind was terrible, at least 50 mph, and the electricity went out - so far nothing unusual for here. Then the smoke detector starts beep, beep every few seconds. After inspecting the upstairs, I decided I wasn't feeling too well (anxiety I'm sure) and it was time to leave. So Sadie and I went out to Gary's and stayed until the power came back on and the sun came up. Got a cup of coffee out of the deal and Sadie enjoyed Gary and his wife paying attention to her. What a way to start the week. Went to Gary's because he has a generator, but about the time he was going to start it the power was fixed. Just off for an hour. The joys of rural living at work.

G'day all - same here Wyo, we have regular power outages here! I think we're on the end of the line or something? Usually doesn't last long!
But it's very annoying re-setting all the clocks & timers on household appliances etc. (so much so, that I've given up even bothering!) I have a wrist watch.

Well I've just finished a couple of additions to the old bar fridge - you know who now has his mug on it in a couple of spots!
It's almost straight even - well it looks OK I guess - the further away ya get, the better it looks! Here's the pix.

Loving the fridge Old. We didn't get to see the super moon it was far too cloudy a sky !

Still a bit quiet on here a moment regarding sales, still gives more time to listen to some great tunes.

G'day all

Looks like it's just back to us again booksie! - some good toons there!

Well we're back in a heat wave again, with this week looking down the barrel of 35 - 45C's "They" are advising on the radio, to stay hydrated - no problems there!
I had my geetar social in Brizvegas yesterday & when I was leaving at 5pm, the temp was 36.5C.
Had to drive through a very nasty heat electrical storm on the way, which included stopping in the middle of the road (with warning flashers going) to clear a large downed tree branch off the road. One kind lady going the other way, stopped to lend me a hand, which was needed, & I was thankful for the assistance.
Naturally, when I got home here - NOT a drop did we get

Shesa - I finally played Tennessee Waltz this social, which went over well, & without too many fluff-ups!

And so to some cooling drinks & choons! - Hope all are well. ???

It's rather wintery here, so I expect everyone is hibernating

It's rather wintery here, so I expect everyone is hibernating

Too true! I just wanted to stay in bed all day yesterday as I was achey all over with the cold.

[Oldandintheway]

I'll tell you what! WE could do with some of your cold down here ATM.
Our minimum last night was 26C, with an apparent feel of 32C Only way I got to sleep was with one overhead fan going.
I don't run air-con overnight - too risky & expensive!
Today's top is again 35C+ & will get hotter tomorrow & for the rest of the week.
This of course, is followed up by late afternoon & evening nasty electrical thunder storms.
Bad one in Brisbane & surrounds yesterday, knocked out power to a lot of areas - some roof damage & up to 250,000 lightning strikes! (an amazing light show)
Unless you're out in it.

Bit like this, only worse!
