 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Vic I am not sure which Eve you are talking about, could there realy be two? Yes the rock my Eve sits on did go underwater this afternoon and still is, but rest assured I made sure she was safely escorted to my bedroom. Do you have her cousin? My offer of water still stands.

Hi Allan Looks like a good spot for a water wheel if you can tame it a bit and drag yourself away from Eve. Bob Foolin Around |

Hi Bob, yes I am still evaluating hydro potential at this site but my first priority this evening is Eve's welfare, she is understandably distressed at the submergence of "her" rock. So for now my full attention is ON Eve. A of J "I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it" - (Act II, Scene IV). |

Eve`s cousin ends up back down there, tell her to return me soap. Usually get a few seasons out of each cake. We come from the land downunder. Vic |

I will go one better Vic I will send her back with a spare cake of soap, no don't thank me it will be a big benefit if the winds turn a bit south westerly. A of J "I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it" - (Act II, Scene IV). |

Not sure Vic, in my creek/swimming hole I have jungle perch, cat fish, yabbies, eal and of course nymph, it's the latter that can mislead an old fella. A of J "I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it" - (Act II, Scene IV). |

Spent some time this morning looking for Eve, maybe she had an invite to a BBQ elsewhere 
At least the batteries are doing OK 
Ops that is not very clear, then again I do need better glasses. A of J "I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it" - (Act II, Scene IV). |

Nice creek windlight. Save the image as a GIF instead of a JPG, that way the forum resizes to 1000 pixels wide instead of 500 pixels. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

I think Bob`s flogged Eve now. Not happy with our bus, probably took me cake of soap tooo!!!! Bob might be right we need new glasses either that or your batteries have got a virus or else your image is this weeks TV on 7.

You can add a turtle or two to my creek inhabitants, I had forgotten about them until this afternoons dip. Bob may have stolen Eve but I will settle for my neighbor

A of J, Note your running SP Link on your inverter. What model is your inverter? mine`s the old SA Series running Remote Link which is no where near as comprehensive as SP Link. We come from the land downunder. Vic |

Vic it is a SPMC482-AU,( 48V 6/18 KW) very handy and much easier to program than the previous series although they seem bullet proof as well. The Zantrax MPPT's are much quieter than the Outback I had previously, perhaps the absence of a screaming fan helps

Saturday 11th will see a BBQ lunch here on the ocasion of my 21 St birthday, any board memebers in the area welcome. Bit of a bugger that you are all too far away, oh well at least my neighbours will be here. A of j "I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it" - (Act II, Scene IV). |

A little bit of show and tell. One of the insect control contractors, St Andrews cross spider 
Garden update, I am still learning what I can and can't grow up here, this hardy little cucumber vine just keep on keeping on, more fruit than what I can eat. 
Can't say corn likes the heat too much, had sucess during the dry but these did not quite do it, not a complete failure though. 
Pumpkins are looking promising, 
The passionfruit vine is going well, need some more staking but it's on the list. 
The green ants have decided it's a good place to build a nest 
The beans are looking miserable but they keep me in beans 
Sweet spuds have recently been planted out 
Then there are these little mouths to feed

21st Birthday? I grew passionfruit and pumkins well in tropical Mackay, I think it was the only thing I could grow, the local wildlife ate everything else. Since moving down to Toowoomba, I've tried a few of the plants that I didn't have much luck with up north. Corn is a big success here, lots of yum and no grubs. But the passionfruit seedling and coconut palm didn't survive the first winter. 
Green ants, yeah I dont miss those little buggers. Nothing like brushing past a tree and ending up with a million of the things biting the back of your neck. Or cane toads, dont miss them either. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Missed your 21st, my apologies, I was on my first date. Imagine the board meeting was productive with all executives getting a massive pay rise in line with international standards. Keep them green ants handy, have a lychee tree full of green ants, they keep the birds out at fruiting time but what a bast...d when trying to prune & pick. Natures security agency.
