    Hiya Peoples.
    Who said Sydney was a great place to visit?? Been here since Tue & all
    it's done is BLOODY RAIN!
    Wasn't a bad trip up though.
    Stopped at Holbrook for lunch & watched the plods at a RBT set-up pull
    up a Harley gang, Then what looked like proceeded to defect bikes.
    After Holbrook we passed then got passed by someone, Female I think,
    riding what looked like an older R1100 (guessing here, not a BMW person, I
    know what a Boxer motor is though), It was dark blue with an older boxy BMW
    full fairing, rider wearing a full faced dark blue helmet , Loaded up as if
    they were heading home from the Island. There was a what looked like to be a
    large patch or sticker on the bottom of a tent roll that said something
    about a Brisbane charity ride. I think it was one of our group, I think I
    saw a pic of the bike on one of the links posted by someone that was at the
    Island at the MotoGP. I saw the pics Mon night. Following them rite through
    to Albury/Wodonga.
    We were driving in a silver EF 96 model Falcon following the In-laws
    2001 silver Vectra, I gave the rider a thumbs up with my hand on the top of
    the steering wheel when we overtook them the first time.
    Other than that, Not a bad trip, Just this CRAPPY Sydney weather.

    Aido.

    Well, we are, or were in drought conditions, and the rain is much needed, so
    I'm not complaining.

    The catchment area is also getting a fair bit of rain. Now, if we could turn
    that sarcasm, and I do agree, into recycled water, then we wouldn't have a
    friggen water problem.

    In the paper the other day (and who knows whether this is correct, but it
    was in The Austrlian), apparently Adelaide recycles 15% of it's waste water,
    Melbourne 20% .. and Sydney ... a massive 0.5%. Hmmm ... makes you wonder.

    I think you'll find that waste water in this case means sewerage, and
    considering most people in Sydney are full of shit, that's a huge untapped
    resource. :)

    workout.

    I saw the Darling river last week. Those outback New South Welshmen have got
    some explaining to do.

    The rain is needed in the dams not in the city... I'm sick of hearing people
    say that.

    Hiya Cam, How goes it?
    I'd love to if I was available, unfortunately I'm stuck babysitting
    while the outlaws & wife go out on some family related business. :/>

    Aido.

    It's raining in both the Wingecaribee reservoir catchment area (where
    I live) and the Warragamba dam catchment area (where a friend lives),
    so chill.
