Picked up my pup Daisy from the vet. She got a cut play with the other dogs. Nothing vicious just rough play. Ziggy pushed his food plate to her and it made me tear up! He is so kind and thoughtful! Now we are camping on the bedroom floor. We're gonna have a little party and watch License to Drive and The Burbs.
Poor Daisy!View attachment 2241572

Good afternoon everyone.
Had to run out and dump the garbage and get an oil change. Plans to go tear open those stacked rocks is on hold. Im taking care of Daisy today.
Tomorrow I may get out there? I have a guy coming to check the downstairs propane fireplace out. We've never used it and the upstairs one is wood burning. So I think its a good idea. Then after he leaves ill see what if anything i have to do. I may try and dump the old tv? I think it will fit in the jeep,but im not positive. If it does im gonna go dump it. If not then im gonna see whats up with the stacked rocks.

Tomorrow I may get out there? I have a guy coming to check the downstairs propane fireplace out. We've never used it and the upstairs one is wood burning. So I think its a good idea.

Make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm in your house before you use the propane fireplace.

We do. We only use propane for heat and I guess the downstairs fireplace. Personally I want my heat electric! Im not a fan of propane or oil heating. I know my electric bill will be higher, but not a huge amount. We keep it about 66-63 in the house in the winter and im in Georgia. So no big deal!
Now if I open the pool this year with the ac going inside....700+ electric bill a month.

Reading a tad about it and there was 134 dingo attacks there.
Then again one remembers the miscarriage of justice "a dingo's got my baby"

Not long ago two small boys wandered into the bush there and were bailed up by some and surrounded, they were lucky someone heard them yelling out for help.
The Chamberlains were stitched up by fools that knew nothing about the bush, outback or the animals in it, the moron a....hole media and sheep public. One so called expert, and his findings were a big part of it, said he found babys blood all over the firewall of their car. It was sound deadener.
The media claimed the name meant "Sacrifice in the wilderness" it actually meant "blessed by God" but they ran with that the entire trial period. The public here and the media were disgraceful and acted with a kind of hysterical hive mind attitude towards it all just kicking the boots into that poor family day in day out relentlessly.
It was sickening watching it unfold.
Even after proven wrong and they were totally innocent they were still the brunt of sick cruel jokes everywhere with comedians making jokes about her saying the dingo had her baby. I couldn't believe it on Seinfeld when I saw that idiot woman in it make a joke about it. Who in their right mind makes a joke about a baby which was taken, killed and eaten by a wild animal!? She must be a pig of a woman to think that was funny. Imagine your sitting there watching TV then the next minute you see someone joking about your baby that was brutally killed? Unbelievable!

I just take my misses with me, one screaming word in Italian out of her mouth and I bet a Griz would be running for the hills.
Seriously though there's none in our particular area of the state and I have never heard of an attack on people here in Victoria.
But elsewhere in the state they are devastating livestock. Something pretty much kept hush hush by the Govt keeping the greenies happy.
Here's what is actually going on.
This near Omeo.
"I had 300 head of sheep 18 months ago but I had extremely bad dog trouble and Iost a lot of lambs and ewes," Ms Coulthard said.
I sold some off because I couldn't bear to see any more dying, so I've only got 100 ewes left."
This near Big Desert Victoria.

"For Mr Bennett, his income loss as a result of livestock predation would be at least $100,000.
He said it was staggering.
Direct losses are about 350, that's dead sheep found directly after an attack, but that could be triple or quadruple by the time maimed animals die or become unsaleable," he said.
We could be looking at 1,000 of our own animals, and we're one of five landowners in our little area [that are] highly impacted."
A place I used to detect a lot and knew the farmer well in a place called Fryerstown there was a Dingo farm nearby with a couple of hundred there. Tourist thing.
About 50 + escaped, lies were told that it was just a couple, they killed dozens of his sheep in 1 week, I can't recall the exact number but I have 200 in my head, but as we were talking he's telling me how they said it was just a couple and they were easily caught and all accounted for. Liars, he then said come and have a look. He took me to a shed and showed me about ten dingo skins hung up drying which his son had shot a couple of nights earlier. That place ran into the Porcupine ridge range which has some very thick bush and extends for many kilometers south. So he believes there are now dingos living in that range now.
For some reason there's places like Vic where you only hear of livestock attacks, when they leak out, but elsewhere in other states they'll attack people.
But im far from any expert on them and have only personally ever seen just a couple in the wild in my travels elsewhere.
I know there is a bit of cross breeding going on between them and feral dogs which too are a big problem in places. These cross breeds they reckon are particularly vicious.
None here where we are so im happy. 😁

Hi Surf Pirate, the spot is a old ski area and we were on the slopes ⛷️ We recently had a lot of rain so yes a lot of rock slides.

Evening everyone! Same weather predicted here for the next week. Still too durned cold for me! Hope everyone has had a great day! Hope you all have a great day on Wednesday!

 

[pepperj]

Sometimes things are just ment to be maybe.
Got the 3rd section cleaned, and pulled back up to the shop.

Now the discovery of cancer in the aluminum structure. This where the main cables attached to the ladder. The main use for the cables was to extend the ladder fully out.
I kind of shiver thinking what if one actually let go, There wasn't stops like on an extention ladder.

I just got back from biking to the beach. It's definitely a winter beach right now but it's warming up nicely. One person is all I saw.

Was the person OK? Doesn't look very comfy...

Sounds like hillbilly to me. I've heard it said that way around here from time to time.
