Went down the YouTube rabbit hole and came across the thunderstorm from 2016 that caused 9 deaths due to the combo of pollen, thunder and high heat.

Crazy how quickly north west got slammed with thousands of patients in a short time.

Pretty scary stuff.

Got a bluetooth meat thermometer for xmas.

They are the best! I have an inkbird that can track up to 5 meats. So good when you are managing temps on a smoker.

On New Year’s Day I cooked a 6kg brisket, a pulled pork collar, a lamb shoulder and done some ribs. Set it up with temp alerts through the app and I nailed everything.

Hahaha! I’ve got two boys under 4, cupboards and windows look like abstract art exhibits. I just clean them once every 3 months, anymore than that and it’s a waste of time.

Anyone installed a misting kit under a verandah?

View attachment 2198120

Kit finally installed. Morwell bunnings were sold out, got the last one in warragul after taking dad out for lunch. works pretty well. Tested tonight but not so hot today. Only complaint the misters actually make a bit of noise, like they are singing!

Those fires in California in the middle of winter are bonkers.

We started fighting fires in July 2019.

They hunt.

You may find it following you around. Be very afraid.

Google Lens. If you don't have it you can search on the play store. It's essential.

I've watched these things hunt. Its amazing.

I don't supoose there are any mycologists around?

My friend is determined to have this, I'd like to know if she'll have a good time or a bad one.

Its a day late but i wouldn't eat that.

Look dodgy to me. Ones l used to partake in back in the day had a little fluorescent blue / purpley thin ring in the middle of the cap. Very easy to spot. Macedon ranges was the place.

You can get 'em not far from jenna Bruton's old's spud farm.

They need to turn blue where they are damaged and bruised.

Every species of psilocibin mushroom does that afaik. I wouldn't trust one that didn't.
