9.30am.....

Genuine success rate for reversal of rain. We decided to make use of today's rain (no wind so far) and test the awning seals which have been done recently.

Result....awning is still dry, no rain since its been opened so still have no idea if the sealing has been successful.

:(

I've just added a bead of silicone to the awning....had the awning out and could see where it leaking so took advantage of the shelter.

Hopefully, that's another job done! Annoyingly, it was supposed to be fixed when it went to the rehab ward a couple of weeks ago but at least it's not pouring in as it was before that.

We're now over the 120mm today so all tanks are over full.

@Bluey I thought Melbourne looked wet when I looked at the radar earlier....must have gone around you.

80 odd mm all up and Ute is dirty, as in the middle of it all we went for a derb down a track with BIG puddles to flush any beach sand hidden away, tracks are all sandy in the forest so can't tell if it did anything but a sandy fresh water wash.......................

It was sunny, Mudlo Rocks was clear, Chris packed a picnic box what else am I supposed to do ??????????....I only made the pic a small one though.

Lashed out $20 the other day at Bunnings for one of those simple single burner job cooker with a throw away gas bottle , lives in the back of the ute , coffee anywhere now, bliss....so many shop coffee's are absolute rubbish.
