What do you do on a long wet weekend

What sort of things do you do to keep yourself occupied on long wet weekends or Sundays.

I've just completed taking about 80% of all my darks for averaging. That 91,800 sec, or 1,530 min or 25.5 hours of continuous 300D exposures. Glad they don't use warranties like cars. 12 months or 25 hours of exposure

After seeing the size of that grenade you bought Geoff, I'm not surprised you need a belt load of divers weights to balance it.

Mine is spent setting up our Rugby League field and clubrooms, organising players, running up and down the sidelines of 2 games yelling at the 2 teams I coach, getting wet and windy, a sore throat, doing pep talks at the start and half-times of both games, praising at the end of each one(even if we lose) diplomatting with the opposition clubs officials, pleasing our players parents, filling out Field safety and game reports and result sheets with the other clubs officials and the Referee to be sent to Melbourne, packing up the field, packing up Clubrooms, organising dirty playing uniforms for washing, cleaning Footballs and equipment, help pack up canteen, clean clubrooms, lock up and go home and watch the remainder of the Rugby League on Telly and update 3 Rugby League websites with the results and news from our weekends games.


AND LOVING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. And talk in here!

NEWS FLASH!!! My Harry scored 8 tries today and kicked 2 goals.

WooHoo Congratulate him for me Ken. Excellent stuff.

You don't need a new computer Ken, you need another one and learn to type with two hands on two different computers.

So what!

Get This!! Harry scored 4 tries in his own game (Under9's) and then we were short 1 player in the Under 12's so I stuck him in. He scored 2 tries and then I took him off to rest him, then one of our players got injured so I put him back on and he scored another 2 tries and kicked his 2 goals!!!!!

All the Under 12's are about a foot taller than him!

Sounds like a kid heading for the NRL!
