It took about 20 seconds for that video to load, and I hoped for a Polska Hybrida. But that's cool too.

Because 'Straya internet on my phone, didn't watch it until now, but the preview took a while to load.

Just screw in a blowgun attachment, the 4" ones, and go from there...

Here is what I found with google trends -> http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=spud%20guns

Seems that the general public lost interest in spudguns

Maybe it's because back in '05 kids spent more time on the internet looking for cool things to make but now they can jump on facebook and waste the night away.

Or maybe its YouTube too... :roll:

Something different

Down here in the Land of Oz we "enjoy" a wide climatic variation. Today it is raining and 16 degrees; last Monday was pushing 37 degrees and had been for three weeks. As a result we tend to get more than our share of bushfires, the latest series of which hit only a couple of weeks ago.

Since I am on extended leave right now, I am joining http://blazeaid.com.au as a volunteer for a week to help string new fences for farmers who were burnt out. They get government grants and all sorts of assistance with stock but nothing for fences which can make restocking a bit problematic.

Anyhow, for those spudders on the East Coast there are teams working in Vic, NSW & Qld. If you have time, even one day, think about giving it a go.

Cheers

That's very noble of you.

How about some high speed fence stringing :) http://www.qsl.net/wd6cmu/launcher3.htm

Good on you mate, back in 2009 we were about 5/16th of a bees dick from needing your services. The fire just stopped on one ridge, and if it had crossed it, we've have been toast.

Considering weather, three days ago I went around pricing IBCs (1000l plastic tanks in a cage) as our water tanks were empty. Now, at least half full. Huzzah weather.

JSR, I watched that getting unloaded, ironically I'm sure it was in those 15kg ice bags, looked just like them.

I take my mind altering substances the old fashioned way, via VB or Jameson so am clueless on meth, but would 500kg of ice be enough to get most of the country toasted ?

By which I mean don't the rules of supply and demand apply, if you bring that much product onto the market at once won't your price drop ?

@Zeus, glad the rain made it over the ranges, 'bout bloody time.

If you assume a person gets a high from about 200 milligrams of meth, that amount would be enough to keep 2925000 people toasted for more than 10 hours :D

Now that would make the news headlines... :roll:

In unrelated news, successfully making the correct rolled-r sound (Spanish RR) is now my f*cking white whale. :evil:
