lol 28..likewise but no thanks to the chopper as well...

Years back we got chatting to a customer that came by to pick up a load of plants ..he ended up telling us that he has started/bought a balloon ride business at Mareeba...he even offered us to come up for a free ride....the missus was up for it but I declined the offer...its not the adrenaline or danger level but unfortunately I have an irrational fear of heights which makes me quite physically ill...I even get sick on planes..

Shame because as bunyip says it does look quite serene floating along up there..Did you go on the Mareeba balloons Bunyip..?...How long of a ride is it..?


Bit showery this morning but the sun is out now....weatherzone had 40-80 every day next week for us yesterday..today its 40-80 tomorrow and 5-10, 10-20 and 20-40 all the rest of the week....I understand that, of course, it depends on the monsoon trough and whether a low develops and where it goes and how long it hangs around etc but why do they even bother putting out days ahead rainfall numbers when they are happy to change it so drastically each run...its pretty annoying really..

Thought about heading down to try and snare a barra this morning but the drizzly start put me off so I might head up for a bit of 9mm practice after lunch if the day stay this nice..better go and get a bit more roundup out before the wetter days start..
