    Snow/ sleet in Johnsonville

    Some of it settles, then some more rain showers roar in & it goes away.

    Went out to the Heads earlier in the day. The Aratere was just coming in on the swells, but pity anyone on the Bluebridge (Santa Regina?). She was fair rocking & rolling just clearing the Heads, let alone what it would be like further out. BIG swells outside the harbour...

    ah I see you havent used the car in the last half hour

    I was at manfeild to day,it was fricken cold there,and almost snowed at abot 3 30,we called things a day then,and at waikanae on the way home it was sleeting enough to speckle the windscreen and for cars to leave tracks in a greyish road.

    do you know what kinda heat grips you have.I was gonna get a pair but was afraid that the hand guards would block the air and make em too hot even on low

    Oxford Hot Grips have a reasonable reputation, and are being specialled at www.cycletreads.co.nz for $93 (down from $119). Joe & Marks both have these on their bikes.

    Check your account - all Govt payments made on Friday instead of Tuesday, cause of the holiday.

    Most of the snow is gone now, but we had bit still on the ground this morning. Bloody cold. Don't think I'll be riding anywhere today.

    At least I've found a use for those old totara posts I had laying around. They burn real good.

    Yeah I know, spent that already LOL!

    Fingers crossed have someone buying some of my rather expensive dive gear tomorrow! Got a bunch of the best quality stuff I own on TM at the mo, alot of it in virtually brand new condition! My Regs, Dry Suit, Dive Computer & Dive Torch are all particularly high quality, which unfortunately also means they aint cheap, even on TM!
    Accountant finally sorted my tax return so IRD should be payin me a whole years worth of back WFFTC in the next week or so too! Anyway, its back on the job hunt trail again tomorrow!
    Cheers, Dave

    That's mini-me. He's just a bit less handsome and a wee bit taller than I am.
