What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

New guy at work....

Due to covid regulations, we've had to use our loading zone as a customer exit instead of one door for both entrance and exit. But when we're bring product in, we have to re-route customers to that door for that length of time. It's not a good thing for this guy to be getting distracted from that task and customers to be walking right next to the loaded forklift, especially when the hydraulics are getting ready to blow....

 

I'd love to have this truck

My prayers are with you my friend. It is wonderful that you are taking care of your Dad in this time of need. Hang in there!

 

Got the stove going this morning before leaving for work. Didn’t bother stuffing it to the gills as the temperature was supposed to climb into the mid 40s. I fully expected to get home tonight to a 65 degree house and having to restart it with kindling. Walked in the back door and instantly felt that radiant heat hit me after coming in from the cold. My wife had diligently fed the stove one split at a time all day, keeping the house warm without sizzling everyone inside. I’m a happy man today

 

Beautiful weather down here today.



I went in to town and picked up one of my friends and we drove up to Bendigo to do a bit of cycling and exploring areas that can’t be accessed by car or 4x4.


Big valve at Crusoe reservoir.


Water settling ponds used to clean Bendigo’s water before modern water treatment systems were invented.


Water diversion gates on water race between No7 and Crusoe reservoir and Bendigo creek.


Old riveted steel pipe in bush near No7 reservoir.


Sacred Heart cathedral.


Shamrock Hotel.


Bendigo creek, the creek is lined with bluestone blocks in the centre of town.


View south across Bendigo, Golden Square and Kangaroo Flat.

Former gold mine poppet head turned in to lookout tower.

75 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze, perfect day for cycling and a little photography.

 

What a beautiful day! That looks like an internment camp in the 4th picture.
leoht, just out of curiosity, were your ancestors transported felons?

 

Please explain some of the pics. Former sewage treatment plant? Irrigation system? huge gate valve? ???????????

Now there's something you don't hear everyday!

(Yes, I do know how Australia was colonized....)

 

The last picture is a smoke look out tower. Wild fires are problem. Bendigo small town picture probably taken from tower..

 

Don’t know for sure but I think most were free settlers.

The 4th picture is of old settling ponds for Bendigo’s water supply.

 

That's a more benign explanation!

 

Dave I went back and edited my post with some descriptions, please enjoy.

 

Thanks for taking us along leoht

 

Nice pics Chris. Thanks for sharing.

 

Can you cut the exterior doors down to like two. I got rid of doors (and windows) at one house we owned,

 

I love Aussie definition of creeks! Usually bone dry except for the wet season

Very clean looking truck. Never see those around here.

 

Regular cabs are somewhat scarcer here, plenty of supercabs, but mainly v6s and/or 4x4s
