Red Ring Tupperware Party, Autumnal Equinoctal Edition (24)

No, although some have tried it. I prefer my Tabasco without the propellant after-taste.

Mmmm the sweet sweet taste of aerosol.

That is awesome. Snow shots here are dangerous, so many hillbillies with their four wheel drive trucks that think they are invincible. First day of snow two weeks ago there was 43 accidents in town in the first eight hours, and we are only about 10k people.

We get that here when it rains. Even a light mist will turn the freeways into a combat zone.

You should see the idiots here when it rains. You've got those that get too cautious and cause problems, and you get knuckleheads who plow through puddles, killing their engines, and those that drive too fast and go slip-sliding away into other cars. It rains so infrequently that the oil builds up on the roads and they get really slick when they finally get wet.

Properly inflated tyres are essential.

I re-did ours, because of the cold weather, and they were all about a few psi down on what they should be...

makes a huge difference when we had the 5" of rain last week!

Nice picture Dan, but not aviation.

Sure looks like an astral plane to me.

I participate in some grassroots drifting competitions and didn't have a trailer to pull the car(an NA miata with a super cheap turbo set up and welded diff) until late this season so I had to drive it too and from competitions. On the way back from an event in Nashville we got caught in a downpour and the roads got super slick, I had summer tires on the front and a set of used all seasons on the back(makes it easier to slide in the dry). This was the most terrified I have ever been behind the wheel of a car it was like ice skating until the oil washed off of the road.

Hi, all good, Aaron graduated high school a few weeks back, survived schoolies (week long party for the graduates on the Gold Coast) and is waiting to see what he gets into college wise.

Morgan just had a birthday (15) and has started a training course a a hotel in the CBD. She'll do that through the rest of high school (2 more years) and is aiming to become a chef.

How are your family?

Did the Phillip Hughes death in the cricket make the news there?

When we get a really heavy downpour and the streets flood I turn into one of those "fools" with a truck that loves to go puddle running. Hit a big puddle at a decent speed and send tidal waves in all directions. I keep my truck in good running condition and I know what it can handle, at most I've only ever had it misfire a time or two, never stalled.
I love driving in snow. I'll fishtail around corners and go drift busting, but I know how to stay out of the ditches and stay away from other vehicles.

Ahhhh, how are his knees? Which college/uni is he hoping to go to?

Cannot believe Morgan is already 15, how time flies. Family is good thanks, we just had a christmas card in the post from our friends out in Hendra - Actually i can never remember if it is Hendra or Ascot, but one of the two, I think I'll say Hendra. So it always makes us remember Brissie!!

Phil Hughes' death did make the news here. Esp with the American Footballers concussion issues, it made the news here, but more-so with the UK news. I even had a couple of coworkers ask me if the corker (well they said "cricket ball") was hard!

I'm doing storm damage photography for the electrical utility I work for again this storm season. About two weeks ago I was caught in a massive hail storm in a work car. Hail the size of golf balls hit the car for about 15min, major damage to the panel and the roof and a cracked windscreen. Will probably be a written off as too costly to repair.

Knee is ok-ish still give him trouble but he doesn't let it stop him. His first option is Sports Science/Psychology double degree at Queensland Uni.

It gets better, Aaron will be 18 in Feb, the legal drinking age here!
