Re: What's The weather like in your part of the world today?

I don't mind the snow, but I hate the cold. Last night the temps got to -14 with a humidity level of around 70% I have the start of arthritis in my knees and hips, so the cold coupled with the high humidity really makes them joints sing.

they hurt like hell for 24 hours but give you 6 to 8 weeks nearly pain free

Re: What's The weather like in your part of the world today?

Cortizone is good but you are only meant to have three injections per year. I had them in my shoulder for a while before they xrayed it and realised that i has broken it. That first 24hours is a bitch but the weird numb feeling afterwards is more than worthwhile.

Re: What's The weather like in your part of the world today?

Raining around me this week.....

Northern Aus underwater land mass the size of Texas, Brisbane city under threat of flooding and a full shutdown of the city central for the next couple of days... Some areas townships on the westside of QLD wipe out by inland tsunami.. Horrible and heart breaking... damage in terms of $$$$ in the billions damage to wildlife unimaginable.... that's reptile country up there.

Re: What's The weather like in your part of the world today?

The floods are extrmely bad for both people and the environment. Just think of all the cane toads happily moving down through NSW and into Victoria. I feel for anyone who has been directly or indircetly affected by these floods.

On another note I was working down in a undergound mine a couple of days ago and will continue to be here for a while. Its 1.2km down in the earth where im working but my god its hot. We had temps of 44 degrees celcius as our ambient temp with nearly 90% humidity. I was absolutley dripping with sweat working in that heat. Then to make it better once i was on the surface it was nearly 49 degrees with a huge dust storm rolling in. The things we do for money LOL

Re: What's The weather like in your part of the world today?

Now that sounds like good times Percy! I'll trade your JD for a good rum, but the opportunity to go herping in OZ and sweating my you know whats off in a mine is preferable to freezing them off here!
