Grain Carter turned East/Wester then North/Wester, now a Tanker Yanker. 30+ years and somewhere around 7-8,000,000km behind the wheel. Raised in the wheatbelt.

Looks like today is off to a good start.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Feels like summer. Get me outa here!

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Oh lovely - the flies are at the “let’s constantly land on his ears and nowhere else” stage. I friggin hate that!

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

I JUST BOUGHT SHOES! And they’re not steel caps! Or boots. Or waterproof. Just shoes for wearing…around. Totally out of character.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Well shit, the flies are back 😕

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@knightd73 Yep. The last five hits have all been into the side of whichever vehicle I’ve been driving - and each vehicle has been built to take a front impact, not side.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Bloody roos!

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Kind of feel like like I need to paint a dick and balls undercoat on there so the next person to sand that wall back has some real art to appreciate 🤣

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

“Modern art” vibes. Well, kinda. Just sanding and repainting an interior wall.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@theoztrucker Retreat. Regroup. Reassess.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

All day I haven’t been able to get warm enough. Now that the temp has dropped and I’ve pulled up for the night I’m sweating my arse off. Let’s just say it’s been a rough few days and I really don’t want to be here. Haven’t had a flu for a few years. Fucking sucks.

Think it’s bedtime.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Heading home from Kalgoorlie but I haven’t got any interest in arriving at 3am - I think camping up and having a beer, a steak and some garlic prawns sounds way better👍

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@knightd73 Yeah nah - small enough to pick up and carry 👍

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Rehydrating before I stack it the woodshed.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@stationmum101 @TroveAustralia Me and ChatGPT just spent 5mins tracking down his farm and I drive past it whenever I do a fuel delivery to Karara mine. I always thought it looked like pretty tough country to be cropping if it was a dry year. Honestly, only a few kays north of there the farmland stops.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@DigbyStretch The gear is definitely in another league compared to what I started out driving over 35 years ago.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Just west of Bumfuck Nowhere.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@knightd73 Doing a couple of weeks in Kalgoorlie

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Passing by Amelup. The Stirling Ranges are looking impressive in the late afternoon sun. Nearly home.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@DigbyStretch Nope. That’d be another one of our professional team 😉
