It hasn't been nice here all week. 100% humidity and 30+ temps with rain every night.

Although we need the rain Mt Beauty hasn't had much at all. Wednesday evening we had 5 drops of rain while 50Km down the valley had 170mm and flooded roads and paddocks everywhere. Probably some happy farmers.
This weather is ideal for my termite infestation but it's too hot for me to chase them around the house. Little white buggers.

The last time we had this weather/cloud cover I remember was a quite a few years ago and decided I would revisit an old hobby of gem hunting until the weather cleared.
The problem with that venture was that all the creek crossings were flooded/ closed due to the rain and could not get to the gem sites
Could not take a trick

What you need is the ability to assign a specific avatar to a post, so you can match it to the message.

One more pouring in Sydney. Time to check the drainage.

Again.

We've had 30mm in the last 24 hours out my way and there are erosion gullys that look like raging rivers around the area at the moment.

At RFS training this afternoon the theme was property protection. The comment was made "is that learning how to pack sandbags and build levees"

True, but I look at it this way - it could be a lot worse with extreme high temps, bushfires, lives lost, and horrid smoke which lingers for a month or so.

Most smoke that occurs here is caused by the DSE. Usually on clear days in Autumn. Oh how I love them.

Well Humayun and Barry - I went down to Omaroo and I now know that I canceled appropriately. It rained from Friday lunch time until when I left - today at 10:30am - solid. It didn't let up.

So... next time, huh?

Sounds like you had a better time than me then Barry - I weeded! 120 acres is a lot to weed on your own. It'll take me 6 months at the rate I'm going! LOL!

Good to see you went to the KV. I love it lots.
