[quote="yubbywelch"]1000klms driving back home in 10hrs, nothing exciting, more dead roos than alive ones (good for me)
But now the roads have one more dead bird.

So my outback adventure this week was in a shopping centre.

I was leaving Coles with my goodies for the drive home, (cheese and bacon rolls, snickers, white chocolate and macadamia biscuits and muesli bars)

When this salesman called me over to sell me some manly body products, which, I of course declined.
BUT this former Israeli tank commander(I kid you not) started giving me some after shaving balm, smelt great and seemed to do the job, but once I told him my wife had already bought me some I'd already been using.

So he then started to rub my hand with a soultion(never once losing eye contact, which I returned fire, which was very hard, he had eyes that could see straight into my soul)
The lotion made my one hand soooooo smooth and he said its a chick magnet.

I declined, he then said he k

Yubby, it just occurred to me. Does purchase of aftershave balm mean that you no longer have your dodgy beard?

[yubbywelch]

Dodgy beard lasted about 6 weeks, then I'd had enough.
already getting warmer, so shaving 3 or 4 times a week.

[MissWinnie]

Much better, bro. Beards, dodgy or otherwise, not good.

A not so exciting Yubby Coyte outback adventure update.

Getting bloody warm, must be pushing mid 30s today, humidity a little higher than usual with about 20mm of rain over the weekend.

I've been on roster out here for almost a year now, And I must admit birds aside I thought I would've hit a roo by now, a couple of close calls.

I've almost hit a rabbit, a few huge eagles, a turtle, seen dead echidnas, dead pigs, dead fox, and even had the occasional grazing cow on the medium strip.

But on the weekend, 50klm from the nearest town, I almost hit...

none of the mentioned above, but a bloody...



CAT!

Seriously, a feline, it annoys me that people, who don't want to look after their pet, so they chuck em out in the middle of the stix, so they can kill our native wildlife.

Arghhhhhhh.

[MissWinnie]

I'm curious where you nearly hit a turtle, Yubby?

I've heard cats are a huge threat to bird wildlife in Australia?

[yubbywelch]

On the main drag between 2 of my main mines.
100 KLM speed limit, and this turtle wants to cross the road. (water hole beside the road, a run off from one of the dams.)

Cats do a lot of damage, so do introduced species like cane toads.

Well my 'out in back garden adventures' lately consist of clearing away rat/mouse heads that one of my cats keep leaving as a present..
