I love to wake up to the sound of a Jake brake and the smell of chainsaws in the morning.

It is 11:45pm here in Sydney and still 34 deg. Thank god we got AC put in a couple of years ago. Not looking forward to the bill though. :'(

Here here, i think the whole family will be sleeping in the lounge room tonight. Horrible in the bedrooms, thank goodness we have some camping mats :D

Over here in Geraldton our A/C gets turned on in late October and turned off sometime after March. I don't care how much it costs.... ;D ;D

Funnily enough it hasn't got too hot up here in Cairns yet. We are averaging around 34deg with about 80% humidity. Have not needed to run AC yet but it won't be far off. The pool does get a fair flogging though.....:-)

would have been nice to be home in the A/C yesterday we got smashed at work with 55 callouts in Sydney in 6 hours from 3 to 9pm, had 19 guys out repairing phone towers so you can sit in air condition comfort and bitch how hot it is! At midnight we still had somewhere between 6-8 guys out cause the jobs kept rolling in, normally 1 or 2 can easily cover this work
Need to get the backside into gear and get out camping

Towed the camper back from sydney last Saturday to Wodonga and for the first time I saw the temp needle move on the longer climbs. Funnily enough we hit a storm not far from home
