Well I am up had my weet bix, played some guitar, had my meds and its 5-15 am but still dark so I can't really get started ..good excuse eh so.. I say thanks to everyone for indulging me.
What I did not say was late yesterday I tried my road and I got out and up to the main house to see the girls and pick up some more meds..it's always pick up more meds but also a dimmer switch they picked up for me to attach to my light pad so I can take light frames if for some strange reason I ever get to do some astro imaging...its funny how such a little thing can get me going and today they pick up their new car from Grafton but also my new intervalometer which has come in, so life could not get much better.
May I address each of you now individually.
Bobby I am careful that's why I survive. I did not look up when I heard the crack but thought the worst and acted on a negative assumption and that shows I am careful in the extreme and yes I will in any event be as prepared and as careful as possible next time although I really am getting sick of rescuing vehicles from mud.
Hey Ron I always think of you and how successful you are and demonstrate that old age is not to be feared. AND I think it's great as life is just better. I am also very lucky to basically have good health because when you think of the issues I have managed to get thru if I wasn't really fit I would not have made it...and the reason I was so happy getting thru my big day was it told me I still am very strong both physicsically and mentally... the problem simply comes from the side effects of the cancer medication which for me manifests in making my feet feel terrible when I stand but the lucky thing is they are no problem what so ever when I drive which given my recent silly purchase of the red car again is just being so very lucky. AND I must admit I have become a little scared to do things cause of my issues, I tend to worry about a heart attack cause my blood pressure needs now to be managed with meds..I am careful perhaps too careful...but my big day has moved me past that. Thanks for commenting I love hearing what you have to say.
Steve good advice but I am on top of the problem as evidenced by driving around it late yesterday and not sliding one bit ..I laid pavers and cement on the lower side so I now have traction and something to stop me...I am about to ride up now and look at the tire tracks to see where I need more pavers and while the girls are away nick up and bring down more pavers and go to Tabby and get more concrete ... I figure just keep adding concrete and pavers ( the previous owner left a stack) until I can cover the lot in blue metal..goodness knows what it will cost as I need about 300 mtrs to get a solid road to my van and observatory but thinking about it if I needed an ambulance, and I know it will never happen, but they need to be able to get in ..I did think I could rely on the helicopter rescue but the reality is they blow everything to kingdom come and would destroy my set up...but see I think ahead and prepare for all conceivable contingency...that's me heck things go wrong so you need to be prepared as best you can be.
Anyways I will get going as it will be reasonably light by the time I get to where I want to put some more concrete.
Voting tomorrow that will be fun as I like to stir those folk up who give you the how to vote stuff ..I have my show stopping questions for all parties.
Thanks again
alex
