We have had a heap of rain and its getting warmer over the week end so field mushrooms are possibility. No bodily fungal growth to report though. Sorry to dissapoint. :playful:
 
Took our dog Nelson to the vet yesterday for yearly injections, Heartworm etc, free blood test.
This morn I took him in for a teeth clean.
Crikey these vets drive nice cars!!! They do a great job nonetheless.
Nellie turned 12 yesterday :flowers: :present: :Y:
 
Sitting on my bum (off to work later today) reading sooo much wonderful information on this site.

Have only been a member for a week and I'll need to live to at least a hundred years old to read everything (haven't even watched the tele since I joined up!).

Me thinks I may need to go to rehab to get over this crazy addiction... no wait a minute, I'll rephrase that to a passion!

Cheers to all :)

Just got home from a day out gold hunting
Got up early....was away by 8am....headed to the Strathbogie Ranges...got there to find the the first creek target on private land....
nvm so I went to the next 2 places I had on the shortlist....number 2 was pretty much 4WD only - I mean the VS would've got in but doubtful id get out haha..
so aside from burning thru fuel (fml) trekking thru the ranges I headed to spot 3.....which was bone dry.
by this stage it was 11am so I came back home and went out to Rushworth/Whroo.....spent a good 4.5 hours detecting out there....
my best find was a lump of lead LOL.....

5 mins into detecting in Whroo im standing there NOBODY even near and yet weirdly I could smell this 'burning' smell....almost electrical....
Looked at the car...nope its not on fire...hmmmm
Ahhh - when I put my car keys in my back-pack (where my batteries also are) the keys (by touching both terminals of the 9V battery)
caused it to really heat up - im prob lucky it didn't explode...Hence keep ur batteries seperate to everything else LOL.

So saw some landscape, learnt a lesson, and had a good day despite no Gold today.........ah well 'thems the breaks' as they say....

Need to find me some creeks that have water I think.....

:koala: :pickshovel:

You put keys in your pocket with a battery??
:awful:
You need these

no no my keys I put in my backpack not in my pocket...
But where I put my keys also were my batteries...man that lil bugger got super hot :fire:

anyways - didn't explode, or catch fire but probably wasn't far off....

so def keeping batteries totally seperate to all else here on.
:perfect:

and regarding my earlier post in case anyone was wondering what 'nvm' & 'fml' are:
nvm = nevermind.
fml = f*** my life.

Celebrating! :D

Have had a problem with tingling and pins and needles since I got a touch up from a bull last year. Not real painful or anything but enough of a problem to know something is not right.
About 6 weeks ago I had a string of tests. They shot nuclear crap in me and zoomed me through a big tube thing, I had xrays, had to run on one of those stationary ramp things and a whole stack of tests all ending in gram.

Got a phone call on Monday saying to come in so they can discuss the results and have been giving birth to bricks since then.

Well I'm not dying! :Y:
I'm fit as a fiddle but came close to being a cabbage. My c3 and c4 vertebrae took a wack and there appears to be a slight crack in some part of the c3 one which seems to have healed well. It has caused a bit of nerve damage or pinching which is causing the pins and needles.

Contact sports like boxing or footy are out of the question but I should be fine for womens cricket and I can cancel my layby on the flash new 4x4 wheel chair.

All in all a big relief and load of my mind. :D
