(did you drop 5c?)

That's a bottle top some Grub left behind, I must have missed it when I spent an hour or so "Emu Bobbing" the area.
I don't have much affection for Grubs But in the Bush I Hate the useless Buggers :Gigakach_01:

My sister does that when she walks her dog. Her kids chip in too. My only bother is that they dont wear gloves and mostly for the water side rubbish pick up straight across from a very large block of government flats.
You do have to be careful these days. Easy to find a used syringe  in a maccss burger box.

We went fishing again today and the wind dropped so it got quite warm.
Mrs Trout and "Doggie" did just fine under their umbrella

[robbiegal]

Think doggie is getting the most of the shade sharing!!!
That water looks fantastic

I mentioned a while back that we are replacing our kitchen. Well I have ripped pretty much everything out and resealed the floor (three coats of epoxy) and now it looks like...
Cupboard manufacture started today and we have been promised deliver and installation early next week.
Meanwhile we are in "camping" mode for meals. Should have asked trout for advice.

Epoxy
Hope you wore a respirator
Stinky stuff![/b]
Ps
Your taps look like our old kitchen taps
We were fairly  sure that they were original with the house - 1974
I kept them as i liked them. They're in the garage doing nothing

[JeffH]

No, it's not. This is the latest water based epoxy. Walk into the house when it has just been spread and there is just the faintest (not obnoxious at all) smell. No sneezing, coughing or eyes watering at all.
The solvent based sealer we used in the past rendered the house uninhabitable for a full day and needed replenishing every 18 or 24 months.
This is the stuff we used Haymes Ultimate Epoxy.

Oh gee
When my hubby sealed our cork floor that he laid years ago, the epoxy stank to high heaven and was a known carcinogenic
Thats great

This house was built in 1988 and those are the original taps. Good quality (Irwell brand) but, after 29 years, the chrome is worn off in places and the brass is showing through. Will be putting in a ceramic cartridge mixer but had to search far and wide to find one that will work on our gravity feed hot water. Greens Tapware "Marketti Blade" is made in Queensland.
Went and bought a carton of beer today -seem to run low regularly; not sure why???. The lady at the bottle shop where I usually go gave me a complementary stubby of a new beer "Iron Jack". I just tasted it and it is not even worth what I paid for it. Can't taste any hops and negligible malt as well. DISGUSTING! I would not even pay 10¢ for a stubby in SA or the NT even though that is the refund on the bottle.
Be warned.

Iron Jack duly noted. Not of course to be confused with Aus Jack, which has recently renewed distribution to all areas, albeit, at a temperate level and is best drank ice cold, wearing a beanie.

Perhaps Iron Jack can make it to the next Mad Max as a last resort of ale for the bordertown desperados!!!

[ausjack]

:laugh2: gotta have a beanie :winkextra:

After what AJ said the other day about the local water I hope they didn't use any in the brewing process - or maybe that explains the Iron Duke quality :grin:
