Peter: thereth - I mentioned this a while back, but there were implications as to tax, etc. unless a legal entity was created for the forum on its own. I'll try to remember to speak with someone I know who works in this field... Nov 10, 2019 13:36:13 GMT 10

Chloe: My university is closed tomorrow due to catastrophic fire risks, also exams all canceled for me because of it. Got a catastrophic warning for tomorrow and requiring me to pack a bag and leave the house. Couldn’t imagine the panic on a large scale. Nov 11, 2019 13:16:59 GMT 10

SA Hunter: Yeah, pretty grim where the fires are - our thoughts & prayers are with all involved. Nov 11, 2019 16:37:57 GMT 10

spinifex: We now have a bad fire just west of Lincoln. Have already trucked our horses out 50km to get them well out of the way and our fire preps have been finalised. 60km Wind is expected to push it north towards our area later this evening. Nov 11, 2019 17:43:48 GMT 10

spinifex: The aircraft are doing a tremendous job under very tricky flying conditions. Nov 11, 2019 17:44:41 GMT 10

Chloe: All the burnt leaves and the strong yellow colouring of the outdoors has been strange, a very eerie feeling. Sending my thoughts out to everyone effected. I couldn’t have windows open due to the smoke around today, was bad enough Nov 12, 2019 23:05:58 GMT 10

spinifex: We have another Catastrophic fire day looming on wednesday. 43 degrees and high winds. And it isn't even summer yet. Nov 18, 2019 17:35:52 GMT 10

SA Hunter: Hi all - still away, expecting 43c & windy too. Looks ominous! Nov 18, 2019 19:05:02 GMT 10

SA Hunter: Hit 45c at home, 80kph winds. And of course, to keep electricity supplied to the big city Adelaide, our power was turned off till catastrophic conditions ease!! Nov 20, 2019 15:49:19 GMT 10

spinifex: Interesting that the Adelaide Hills, also with catastrophic conditions, and many more large trees in close proximity to power lines, has had the power ON all day. I think calling our regions power cut a 'safety measure' is BS. Nov 20, 2019 18:11:32 GMT 10 *

spinifex: Had the genset running all day keeping power up to computers, phones, fans and fridges. Spent the late afternoon at the beach ... which was very refreshing. Nov 20, 2019 18:14:13 GMT 10

SA Hunter: Got my genset ready to go - but, can't find the key-turned the house upside down-nothing-grrrr. Nov 26, 2019 15:40:35 GMT 10

blueshoes: G'day everyone, how are we all going? In Gippsland, it's "Summer" - 2nd December, 8 degrees and pouring rain... Dec 2, 2019 16:19:56 GMT 10

SA Hunter: Hi blueshoes - no luck!! Dec 2, 2019 21:02:25 GMT 10

SA Hunter: G'day gisbprepper and welcome. Dec 8, 2019 1:55:14 GMT 10 *

SA Hunter: 2.30am - just finished work - cold beer to wind down, then off to sleep - waking to 40c day with hot northerly winds. Dec 8, 2019 2:02:47 GMT 10 *

We have known a little while now our next neighbors, young couple Wild Bill and Calamity Kate are about a month away now. We just found out life long friend of Wild Bill, a young guy we've know a long time, A and wife J are a week and a bit overdue. Calamity Kate saying J is about ready to jump flat foot off a kitchen chair to get this over with.

Hope I'm in good enough shape when the cubs are old enough to teach them the things they need to know. How to spit, how to blow nose without a tissue, and other things necessary to live in the bush.

I am glad to announce the arrival of Finnegan Patrick Allen Lastname...

He was about 10 days or so late they figure. Arrived by C section earlier this afternoon. A whopping 9lb 2oz..

Next trip to town will be for something in camo he can stain and out grow in a short minute...

All are doing well.

Good to hear all doing well. Also ... given the first names I'm guessing the surname might start with an O'? Very Irish indeed!
	Relax. What could possibly go wrong?

2019-06-15.... 0500 am... I'm proud to announce the arrival of Anna Lastname... Little she cub arrived at 7lb 15oz kicking and yelling a storm.

Being the weekend and other details it seems Anna and mum Calamity Kate will spend a couple extra days in hospital to make sure all is going well before coming home to the bush. Unfortunately no pictures or other details this moment.

Were happy....

Both cubs are a bit over 3 months old now. All the usual things at this age. All doing quite well.

Have been having fun teasing Calamity Kate about I can't wait until Cub is old enough to teach her things. Like how to spit, camp fire songs, drive the tractor and such bush skills. I better lay off a bit as Kate will be a wreck before the kid goes to school.
