All I need is love, love. Love is all I Need. Nev

I'm posting this link to a video, not for the subject matter, but to get you to look at the background images. The video is about how sheep fixed a problem with weed control on a solar farm in China. We have talked about grazing sheep under solar panels, but what astonished me was the size of this solar farm.

Yep, that's the one.

Here's a clever post from FB supposedly written by a US soldier, going by the photo that was attached to it. I’m the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you tried to mug the other night. You pulled a knife on me and my girlfriend, demanding I hand over my jacket, and also asked for her purse and earrings. I hope you come across this message because there are a few things I want to clear up. First off, I’m really sorry for the embarrassment you must’ve felt. I didn’t expect you to literally crap your pants when I pulled out my pistol after you took my jacket. I mean, it wasn’t that cold, and I had the jacket on for a reason. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that same night. It’s a pretty intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn’t it? I can only imagine how unpleasant it was walking away from me especially barefoot after I made you leave your shoes, wallet, and cell phone behind. I figured without those, you wouldn’t be able to call for backup or run to get help to mug us again. After that, I called your mom yeah, she’s listed as “Momma” in your phone and explained the situation. Then I went to fill up my gas tank, using your credit card. I wasn’t the only one filling up, though I also took care of four other people’s tanks at the gas station, including the guy with the motor home who was super grateful after I filled up 153 gallons for him. I ended up giving your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash from your wallet. That definitely made his day. Oh, and I tossed your wallet into the big “pimp mobile” parked at the curb, after smashing the windshield, side window, and keying the whole driver’s side of the car. Had to make it memorable, you know? Earlier, I made a few phone calls two to the DA’s office and one to the FBI. I mentioned President Obama as a possible target, and the FBI agent I spoke to seemed pretty serious. We had a nice, long chat (guess he was tracing your number, etc.). Look, I should apologize for not just killing you, but honestly, I think what I did is a far more fitting punishment for your crime. You can reflect on your choices while dealing with all the issues I’ve just handed you. And remember, next time you try something like this, you might not be so lucky. Best of luck sorting things out.

I think the only holy thing was the condom her lover wore.

The holy bit is in the stories by the sounds of it

Seemed quite logical to me when you explained it, although it didn't sound as though what the Spirit did was very Holy. That was a bit disappointing.

People say they will be the best looking battleships ever built. Like nothing ever seen before. Not even close.

Eye-v bee-n work-king on de r-ale road.

Look that up in your Funk & Wagnalls

And the Trump-class Navy ships will be known for spewing out nasty toxic products. They will turn on their own men, and eliminate them. Finally, they will make a lot of noise, and essentially do nothing.

Some of the reply comments: Lou Black So. Trump will be involved with designing them? To use a Ukrainian joke, they will eventually be recommissioned as submarine class Gary Mckeating Being British and we call farts "trumps". This makes me happy Gus Peterson Does it stall out and go to sleep in the middle of an engagement? Or, before it even gets to said engagement, develop a case for deferment via rudder spurs? Patty Redeker He was probably playing battleship and someone sunk his….. Kathryn Luchsinger $20 bet there will be a USS Trump, USS Melania, USS Kirk, USS Vance.....etc

I give up. I presented a logical observation. And nobody took up a debate on what should be a contentious issue. I am so disappointed.

Have been going through the process of scanning some old photos into digital form. I don't know what film format these are; Red would know. It's whatever type of compact camera one would have had in 1988. A couple of photos for onetrack as it's sort of over his way in a roundabout fashion. Unloading at Legune Station, 1988. Legune is in the Territory up near the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf but is accessed via Kununarra and then up through the Ord scheme farmland. I remember well that horrible trip. I flew to Alice Springs and picked up the truck and machine and drove it from there all the way to Legune in hot weather with 55mph diffs and no lining inside the cab roof, just bare metal. For anyone who hasn't driven a B model, there's not much room between your head and the roof so it was certainly cooking the melon. To get anywhere soon, I had to push the foot down and with a very heavy throttle spring, the right foot was numb most of the way. One saving grace is that it didn't have 48mph diffs. That would have been too cruel. The plan was to go back to Alice springs and bring the second machine up, but fortunately they found someone else to drop it off at Katherine, so the second trip was only from Legune to Katherine and return. The tractors were stick shift D7Gs with manual angle blade, rippers and scrub canopy, about 27 tonne in weight. The float was a side load float that swivelled sideways and you could pin it solid but nobody ever did. It didn't sway much out on the road unless you really cranked it around a tight bend. Not the sort of thing you do in a B model anyway. To end load it you needed a big bank or ramp as it had full size 20" wheels on the back, and was only done if loading graders. I learned to side load with this same truck and float four years earlier when the leader of our pack led us across a Quinyambie Station track on a trip from Toowoomba to Frome Downs. He wasn't the world's best navigator. The track was passable for single trailers but had too many sandy dune crossings for doubles. Not high dunes, but just raw sand with no clay on the dune crossings. We had a 375 V8 R model Mack with a dozer on a float, and a second hay hauling trailer carrying a grader hooked on behind, and it got stuck on almost every dune for about 140 klm of the trip. He would drive until he got stuck, then I'd pull up behind him in the old B model with the single float and dozer, unload the dozer, then tow him over the dune, reload the dozer, then follow on to the next dune and do it all again. From memory it took about three days and I side loaded and unloaded that machine about a million times. I'd never side loaded before that trip. The old B model with the quad box was good in the sand dune country. You never get stuck for a gear in one of those. Just rattle the sticks round and round and it will always drop into a gear somewhere. At Legune The camera catching the blade as it's about to topple over. This is the second machine (with new tracks) Retirement is good; there are some things I miss but I don't miss the flies and getting up at 4am..

He already knows how to weld. Far better than those DEI welders. Some people say he may be the best welder ever.

I don't even want to think about how Nev dressed for work, at this TRANS airline.

First - he's going to have to build a giant sewerage ship, to carry away all the s*** that comes out of his mouth. Just wait, tomorrow the battleships will be forgotten, and some other totally unbelievable BS idea, will take their place.

The Australian soap opera community is mourning the loss of the beloved actress Belinda Giblin, famous for her role as Martha Stewart in the hit series Home and Away. She passed away peacefully at her home at the age of 75 following a period of declining health. She made a significant mark in other prominent TV series, including The Box, The Sullivans, and Sons and Daughters. She was also an accomplished stage actress.

Yes , you can imagine a substitute teacher been harassed and losing it then going postal. It was hard enough teaching without also playing security.

Does that mean he's going to learn how to weld too?

Finally... Albo listened! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-23/anthony-albanese-recommends-changes-parliamentary-travel-rules/106174182

Little Johnny just misbehaved for the last time...

Instead of a cockpit, there was a box office?
