Ford have announced today they are shutting down all manufacturing in Oz by 2016 (not that there's much left anyways).
Wow, from the few V8 Supercar races I've seen I would never have guessed.

G'day Max.

The Falcon range is about all that's left in country, everything else from Ford is imported. It'll be interesting if Ford will stay in V8 racing after 2016, with something from you guys or Europe.

Morning Rick. I could do with another long weekend.

Brrrrr. Winters kicked in this week. I'm grilling snags on the barby, and I'm huddled beside it trying to keep warm. I need to drag my gas patio heater out if I'm gunna do this grilling thing anymore.

Sounds like you'll be busy enough Jim.

My silly old fur kid doesn't want to eat his dinner again tonight. He wants to eat mine just not his.

My golden waits till the middle of the night to eat her food, then wakes me up so she can use the cover of darkness to go out and strategically position her stink mines.

Good morning folks.

Another round of thunderstorms are moving through the metro area. Actually it is moving across the state. It Moore is getting some heave rain. No tornadoes or big winds, just lots of rain.

Of of the metro lakes used for drinking water was below 50% full a month or so ago. It is at capacity now. Hopefully all the lakes will fill up this spring.

Our fur kids got fed twice a day. The male pup just inhales his food and cleans the bowl. The older female sometimes gets picky and just ignores the food. I put it up and she gets another chance in 12 hours. She has never skipped two meals.

The gas company finally came out yesterday do get the new gas line installed. They started at 10:30 and did not get out of there until 10:30 PM. The gas line is back in, but they destroyed the water line to the garage.

Now with the rain and storms it will be tomorrow before we can get the water back on in the garage.

Oooooooooo... This is what I would want to do. I have been so busy I have no idea what I am doing this weekend. Invited to a party on Sunday. May go to that. Or just chill with my boys. Some of my friends are going camping and he has a boat... Maybe. Probably will just end up being lazy with my boys. We are going to Texas in a couple of weeks for my nephew's graduation so all the better I guess.
