    Auck - Ring around the moon (20 May)

    If you haven't seen it already, go out and look at the moon - freaky HUGE ring round it at the moment.

    Apologies if you can't see it - and my shitty camera can't pan back enough to get a pic, but damn it's awesome and freaky!

    If the wives tales are correct, there's a storm a-comin'!

    If not, then nature has once again never ceased to amaze me

    Not a wives tale, it's the approaching fronts out in the Tasman. The lead in to the front is the high level cloud. As the cloud gets lower (alto stratus), it will look like looking through frosted glass

    Fell over backwards while looking up ! Saw stars !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Funny you should mention that... hasn't a certain fellow in red camo gear recently been having a buy up of filthy smelly 2 stroking bikes?

    Hmmm... no carbon credits for HIM!
