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.

@theoztrucker I’ll be honest with you Mike - I’m saving that one for the day I no longer want to live 😂

Something I’ve been trying to do for ages - run a SDR on a phone. Bought a secondhand Pixel 7 Pro and I just managed to receive the ADS-B data from a Virgin plane flying overhead using a cheap SDR and the totally wrong antenna. But it worked!

Ever notice how new and shiny the MRWA vehicles are? Yet their roads are definitely nowhere as nice. I’ve had a busy 7 days - done a lot of kilometres. But I’ve never felt this battered and bruised because of it before. Think they’re maybe spending money on the wrong things?

@knightd73 If you want to head down a rabbit hole and stay inside away from the shitty weather then search YouTube for radiosonde

This morning’s weather balloon release is on its way. Might be a wild trip.

@knightd73 https://t.co/6ayR4niSlV Bloke from Adelaide built it and users with their own tracking setup feed data to it from all over the world. Means there’s huge gaps in coverage - Albany doesn’t appear to have any coverage at all.

Looks like the honeymoon is over - back in WA hooked up to a couple of FlexiN trailers and I’m greeted with a flat tyre before I even get out of the yard.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Back in the State of Excitement. Hassle free run so far.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@knightd73 Just a one-off, back to normal soon enough.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Well they let me back into SA. Shower and a coffee at Border Village.

@stationmum101 We have the Geese Militia protecting our property. Even the dog respects them.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Going for a little drive later on this arvo. It’s been a while.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Over the hill and heading down into the Perth metro area and within 30 seconds some is abusing someone else on the UHF. ***turned off***

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Well, there’s worse places I could be 👍

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

@stationmum101 Ooh, you and my sister would get on well.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Why I buy fuel every time I’m in Perth rather than locally. No surprises here - just illustrates the extra cost of living outside the metro area.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Go out of my way to fill up with diesel that’s 10cpl cheaper than anyone else for miles around and of course the power is out.

[twocrowsdown @twocrowsdown]

Kids doing bombies and generally mucking about get kicked out of a public swimming pool-apparently that’s racism. I wish I knew that when I used to get kicked out for doing the same thing. I used to take my punishment because I knew breaking the rules came with consequences.

Every time this advert pops up in my FB feed I just look at that bloke sitting there with no worries, nowhere he has to be and a place to lay his head down at night. I’ve got to say that stupidly simple photo has me wanting to sell everything and buy a bloody caravan.
