Title: It was cold at my place this morning
Post by: BigJules on July 10, 2011, 09:40:12 PM: I've spent the last two mornings out on the drive way fiddling with the Cruiser and other jobs. The front of my house faces south, if it was any deeper south there'd be Cajun's stealing my tools, so it hasn't seen the sun since March or April.

I took this at 9am.

Was going to go camping tomorrow night, but looks like it will have to be a daytrip of some kind in the local area.

Post by: DANBRI on July 10, 2011, 09:57:50 PM: I went out kayaking today, 30 knot WNW winds and a white water jacket - my face is still burning.

It took me 1.5 hours to paddle 2km facing the 'storm' and 15 mintes to paddle the 2km home. ;D It didn't get above 14 here all day!

When is all this global warming going to happen - isn't that what we are having a cabon tax for?
Title: Re: It was cold at my place this morning
Post by: Gunna Do on July 11, 2011, 06:04:12 AM: Funny how Global Warming doesn't rate a mention in the colder months, but is mentioned every second day in Summer. ;D

No - there is a new tax for the sake of introducing a new tax. The justification for it is this so called global warming - although 99.9% agree that this new tax will do nothing in stopping global warming.

I just brought it up, not to be political, but rather just as an observation.

Post by: austastar on July 11, 2011, 08:33:54 PM: Hi,
while camped at Alice Springs years ago, it was so cold in the morning, the petrol I used to start a quick fire burnt more like kerosene than petrol.
