New parking spot out the front of our place for the hoons

Had a bit of rain for the last 2 days. Tanks are all overflowing which is a great start to summer

Small showers today.

It was towed out within the hour, did a fair amount of damage to something oily as there was a lot of sand on the road until the rain washed it away

Always the way!!

I was looking at getting one that I could connect to the Net a few years ago, that ended up being some stupid amount of money by the time I bought all the bits.  Never bothered in the end, but still would like a nice weather station
