Thirty-seven degrees in Adelaide today. Perfect excuse to stay indoors and watch the cricket.
Weather where you are?

minus 37 C for my drive to work tomorrow morning, about minus 32 C outside at the moment this evening. So cold the snow squeaks when walked on or driven on. Extreme cold warning issued, frost bite warning issued, wind warning issued. This is the time of year when I begin to wonder why I continue to live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, bloody hell.

Only -20 in the BC Interior and maybe only 8 inches of snow. Expecting another 4 inches this weekend and also some -25 temps. Just got the last of the parts to finish up the wood furnace ducting in the new workshop. Rather pleased at the amount of heat it puts out and now I can direct the heat to where it is needed.
Almost looking forward to fucking up so I get banished ....... that will be a pleasant place to sleep even on a cold night!

I'm wondering why you're still going to work in that sort of weather. I'd have thought it would be simple enough to do legal work from home.
It's going to be hot all over Australia tomorrow.
Forecast for Hobart tomorrow is +30C and rain. Sounds more like a forecast for Darwin than Hobart. I reckon I'll be staying indoors too.
It's a very pleasant 22 in Hobart today. I've been mucking about in the garden getting my hands dirty.

Unusually cold and wet here for the time of year, Christchurch even had some flooding the other day. Not that bad here but cold enough i don't want to go out to the workshop. Not a lot i can do atm anyway. Waiting for RC30 valve springs. I was pointed at Honda CRF450 exhaust springs as a replacement for the racekit springs. Now the problem comes sourcing them and getting delivery. Which is not my problem thankfully.
This is probably the last engine I'll do here. Health has forced us into selling up after Xmas.

Can you be fined for drunk driving on a bicycle?

You can in NZ, whether you’re on a pushbike, horse, walking etc. If you’re on the road, you’ve got to follow the rules.
Unusual though, unless you’re actually causing a problem

I have parrots that visit my yard, they get pissed from something nearby. Funny seeing them pissed, hanging upside down and flying crooked.
Makes me wonder, can a bird get done for drunk flying. Pretty warm in Brisbane today, no cherries or nectarines.

Had a customer in Qld who had lost his licences for DUI, walking home drunk from the pub he saw the cops who had done him and smart arsed that they couldn't do anything to him now. Arrested him for being drunk in a public place.

Reminds me of a couple nights ago.
Went up town and had a couple with a few mates for chrissy.
Anyway as the night wore on thought better not stir up the local constabulary so we did something we didn't normally do, we actually took a cab home.
Sure enough on our way home we went past a copper pulling people over for breath tests, but because we were in a cab he just waived us through and we arrived home without incident.
This was a real surprise as we had never driven a cab before, we don't know who owns it and now that it's parked in our garage we don't know what to do with it!!
Anyone in the Whitsunday region who want's to borrow it give me a call..........

Possible. Given the utter chaos that goes on in downtown areas today, rampant open ‘illegal’ drug use, street vermin everywhere, you’d have to literally be out of control and have caused a major accident or smashed into a pedestrian to garner any kind of attention here.

Yup. In Cairns , I was fined for it. They also took exception to me riding in bare feet. Wasn’t drunk. But the gave me a breath test and fined me for having a small amount onboard
Been raining for weeks in Northern France. I haven't had a decent ride on a real motorcycle for a couple of months.
I've ridden my Aprilia hack a few times, notably for hospital appointments and administrative tasks. I very rarely clean it and it feels a lot safer in traffic on slippery roads. Plenty of mud from farm work on the roads near where I live.
Forecast announced dry for tomorrow. May take the Falcone out to see how it goes since I recently discovered that I'd been riding with the choke on since I got the bike two years back.

Uber eats, weed home delivery.
When living in Sydney, a mate and I were in a pub all day and into the night.
Pissed as newts, we decided to get a taxi.
Out on the narrow street we saw a taxi, with its roof light on, coming towards us and waved frantically, the bugger just drove straight past. We swore at it and gave it the bird, and continued to drink our roadies.
A few minutes later, we saw it coming back up the street. My mate said, I’ll jump out in front of it, when he stops you jump in the back. Mark jumps straight in front of the taxi, which screeched to a stop, near hitting Mark.
While he is spread eagle over the hood, holding the taxi like it was going to get away, I open the back door and go to jump in. I yell out to Mark, jump in, but this one stinks like spew.
Mark looks up at the roof light and says, it’s a Dominos.
Oh, nice morning, clear skies in Brisbane. Nice morning for a coffee and healthy dose of LF on the deck.

Damp and misty for the last two days, but did manage a ride out on the Beemer armchair yesterday and made my various destinations okay. However, ‘sailors’ on the Steam Racket yesterday, and possibly today too, only managed a ‘cruise’ to Heysham and back because the visibility was too poor to dock.
P.S. two days without supplies = panic buying in shops and it’s nearly Christmas too!!!!!!
