Ha ha you and me both Gasometer. Got a reminder at 6.30am, must have been a sight for our neighbours. Big white yeti wearing only boxer shorts in the pouring rain running to the nature strip, bin in tow, as the truck was just about to pull up.
Across the road. I guess I'll find out tonight whether ours had already been collected :thumbsdown:
Geez that sounds familiar on so many fronts :oops:

...and Woof managed to not wreck anything other than go on a path of self destruction and destroy its 4th hessian bed cover in 6 months.

Also destroyed its dog proof bean bag in January that left the backyard covered in thousands of polystyrene balls that 6 months on I am still finding.

Obviously hasn't heard the saying about shittin in one's nest....sleeping on the door mat tonight Woof...
This is from 2013 when we thought it would be nice to put an old futon out on the deck, the dogs took a liking to it and would sleep on it for hours, well for a few weeks anyway, until we came home one night to this...............................

don't get me started on nasal hair !..why is it, that as you get older you lose hair off the top of your head but in every other crack & cavity it flourishes !
Yep, I'm sticking to ripping out ear lobe hairs from now on.

This bike riding post midnight each night isn't so enjoyable when its 2C. The air striking my face like ice particles. Even worse, I tend to park myself on the front steps post ride to peruse BF as the sweat ices up beneath the bike gear plus three hoodies and two pairs of tracky duds over the Skins, to leave me feeling like Douglas Mawson an hour later pre bed.

Indeed!

Katamatite South it was 1.3 degrees on my computer.

I have figured it out as such-

Helmet
Beanie
One fleecy lined jumper
Road jacket/fleecey lined- bright yellow with reflective strips- very smart looking-lubb
Fleecy lined leggins
Woollen socks
Ankle high water proof shoe bootlet covers
Water -wind proof toe covers
Woollen gloves
Water proof-wind proof gloves

.....takes about 10 minutes to get dressed...ride for 1hr 20min.

It is only a matter of time before I get Liberachied in the peak hour traffic into work. In my rear vision mirror I swear half the drivers are texting and not looking ahead. Mostly young whipper snappers checking what their friends had for breakfast on the social interwebs.

Why you out riding so bloody late Gaso ? Can't you just age gracefully like the rest of us ?
Late?

No me early...5.45 am for a 7.10am return.

Why?

3 score years ago I was 16kg heavier...early.melanomas cut out...cusp of Type 2 and average cholesterol.

So turned it all around because I realised i needed to get Old and Grumpy. ..see the kid grow up and unfinished business at Nmfc.

I'm the night crawler Hojuman, and I have little excuse for such a ridiculous regular ride/run time other than habit. It's also just about the only free time I have with everyone asleep at home and I'm a career nightowl so when most are yawning and packing it in I'm getting my second wind, ready to pump out a few weights and hit the streets with the crims, cops, delivery vans, street sweepers and the homeless. I love it and I'm the same vintage as Gaso.

Call it early, but I have made the change of thread to title to Winter.

Soz that it's not 12.01am June 1st.
**** i love winter, nothing better than the extreme ends of Melbourne weather.
This mornings "feels like" temp really belongs on Mt Hotham though!
