Winter is over for another year, and Spring arrives early in these parts, at least compared to Melbourne. For example, we are only 2 weeks into the season and we had 28 degrees C yesterday, with clear skies, light breezes and 27 deg C predicted for another week...
Beautiful flying and riding weather. Our solar farm has been installed and commissioned, and we check the output each day while feeding the horses. I guess that officially makes us farmers...of sorts. At least I now have an old ute to go with the old hat. Picked up a rough diamond from a fellow airparker - a Toyota Hi-Lux 2.8 Diesel with 400k km. After a bit of panel beating, new water pump, timing belt, clutch and power steering hose, it is ready for another 400k km....or 12 mths, whichever comes first.
