+ Targa Tasmania has a competitive stage just near our house.
+ The youngest FatKid and I went and watched the cars race past.
+ Some people have some very nice cars that they can afford to race.
- I am not one of those people.

But you have a very big chopper.   

Thanks. It helps when I go to bars with Gonz.

- The wet and windy weather followed us home from NSW

+ I lost another 1.5 Kg while in NSW on holidays!  (now down to 85.2 Kg on our scales) I did try to eat healthy! 

[rustynutz]

I'll help you find that 1.5kg when we next catch up, mate...

I left it in NSW so I wouldn't find it again!

I've still got 10.0 kg of yours that you left here!

[Dazzler]

I bought 2 kg of WA home. According to our scales I am now 9 KG lighter than I was at the end of January! 

[Doggie 1]

Did you take one of the two batteries out of your scales?

Weight or faculties?     

[Phil №❶]

 

[Dazzler]

Good job Phil! Look like you are about there! I would be too skinny at that weight! 

[FatBoy]

Good work to both of you!!   

I've dropped from my starting weight of 100kg (first and only time there) and I am now down to 90kg (so you are winning, Dazz).  I've also gained some lean muscle mass as I have started working out with resistance training at least four times per week.  I now have biceps and pectoral muscles (some of which are still below my man-boobs).  My legs have toned up, and I can lift and push more weight that I was before.

I started running again a couple of months ago, doing a programme called "Couch to 10k".  I am now running 5km without stopping, before I couldn't run out of sight on a dark night.

I've cut sugar from my diet, and look for lower carb options with higher protein.

Good job Jamie 

[meehalych]

+ it is so lovely weather we have +20°C and sunny - so unusual for Saint-Petersburg

[Dazzler]

+ We have some sun today 

- but more rain and wind forecast. 

[meehalych]

Sounds like the Saint-Petersburg's weather to me

[rustynutz]

+ replaced my Unit's back door as it was rotting out around the glass.
- It has been raining on and off all afternoon so that made for fun and games...

- Few weeks ago got woken up - early-ish - on a weekend morning by banging, metal cutting, etc. sounds nearby... a few houses away was having a fence installed
+ Nice looking fence - but very open... so not really for privacy, but rather to keep people, etc. out - fair enough... people would shortcut across lawn (such as it is)

It seemed to come much further out than other fences came out - near to a light pole just in from gutter, and having a piece of utility equipment inside the fence - substantially past where I though the property boundary was.

More noise late this morning - a number of the panels of the fence and posts removed and holes filled.  Consisting of one whole side (4 or 5 panels) along the street - and one or two down two sides leading to it... back past where the utility equipment is.   I am assuming the whole side will be reinstalled back further from the street and the panels leading to it modified to complete it.

 

[Phil №❶]

You'd think someone would check where the boundary is. 

[ibrokeit]

Yup - either property owner or installers (assuming they weren't just mates helping the owner).   But the 'front lawn' has got so high that at times the council (it seems and I assume) has come and mowed the verge back a bit - I don't recall how far back.   So it doesn't surprise me - as that is a 'regular' occurrence.

Of course someone else nearby basically buried a Fire Hydrant once - seems the council figured this out when, soon after I moved in, the wooden FH post fell over.   I am guessing someone reported it - next thing there is a new marker and a hole dug into an incline between properties... with the FH cover at the bottom looking like it had been buried for sometime.   A few days later there was a new cover installed - level (well angled really) and at the level of earth around the hole.   I assume, after the FH was originally installed, someone decided they didn't like a sharp rise so made it an incline with excess soil.

+ Found a recipe for gluten free pastry, that doesn't taste gluten free. 

[The Gonz]

Check out Elena's true gluten-true (grain-free) breads and pastries based on almond meal and cauliflower - the ultimate healthy foodbase!

Nice to hear from you, Gonz.   
How's life treating you?

[The Gonz]

Hi, Dave. My head is full of Bahasa Indonesia. Saya seratus per sen siswa dan nol per sen apa-apa lain!

Otherwise, despite the family separation, life is quite comfortable as an Officers' Mess hermit. Foxtel, WiFi and gym all at my fingertips.

[Doggie 1]

Good to hear, mate.   
It must be hard away from the family.
Nice to see you on the forum though with your second family.

@meehalych you should come to Australia for a visit averaging 20c throughout the days here in Perth currently heading into our winter.
