What are YOU doing right NOW

[20x]

Today I was detecting some new ground, the whole time I was thinking jeez this ground is quiet , zero junk or hot rocks or ground noise.
It wasn't until I came across a bit tin I could see and wondered why my detector didn't scream when I went near it, so I went closer and closer and finally realised something was wrong.
So I put my glasses on and checked the front control panel, and yep, I must of bumped it somehow since I last used it and the only setting that was changed was 'cancel'.
It finally happened

That just proves you are a human.

Don't worry it's happened to us all. Sometimes by accident & sometimes by mischievous mates

Getting over a giant Dog Fart--crikey they can produce a nose to brain cleaner......

Must be what you feed it mate.

Getting the caravan & detectors ready for the trip up to Maryborough on Thursday for 4 days.

Hoping to get in a couple of days detecting either side of the Andrew Bales Raw Gold course. Looking at the forecast rain expected to be minimal. Might need the thermals in the evenings judging by temps up there today.

Right now I'm sitting on the banks of the beautiful Murrumbidgee River having a Boags Premium as we spend the first night of our annual winter trip to Northern New South Wales at Balranald. God we live in a great country, the best place on earth.

 

[Jaros]

Looks like a nice place to stop at. Have a good night.

Right now I'm standing on the Stockton breakwater watching the ships coming in to Newcastle Harbour, we've been coming here for quite a few years now and I never tire of this sight.

@Dave's Office that is a nice vehicle/home you have there.

@Dave's Office that is a nice vehicle/home you have there.

We've been travelling in our "Minniebago" for about 8 years now Gold, we leave it on the ute while going from A to B and take it off when we are staying in one place for 4 days or more, when we're towing the boat we spend several weeks at the spots where I go fishing, Miss Kay's pretty keen to get a Caravan and I think I might have to get one after this trip, there's not much room in the Minniebago so when we go away without the boat you can't take much with you.

I just read that there are 180 wind turbines going into Durakai State Forest. Any truth in this ? Mackka

Just came back from my local Men’s Shed where i dropped off all my woodturning manuals and design books. Had a coffee with the fellas and was shown what they do. Was i impressed, bloody oath i was, fantastic workmanship and The Toy Boys making beautiful cars etc. reminded me of Glenn and his incredible workmanship. Great places these Men’s Sheds .

 

[Jaros]

That's domestic hero stuff mate.

Hey Jaros, i took a lot of Amateur Radio Manuals over to the Brisbane Amateur Group (VK4BA) the other day at Rochedale. It's at the Scout Group with its own shack. I was seriously impressed. Almost tempted Cheers Mackka

I don’t frequent Mens sheds but I know a few blokes who do and it is very beneficial for their health and mental well-being. They do great work.

Isolating after having a COVID test this morning. Not taking any chances on it being just flu & thinking about the safety of young grand daughter Ivy.

 

[Mackka]

Couldn’t agree more Pa. An acquaintance is President and he informed me that the youngest bloke is 70. They open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with Monday being a Social day of an Invited Speaker and the other two days are working on projects. Great to see.
