Action packed last couple of days. Champion work from Harnie for another classic Geelong gathering. We all left straight after work on Wednesday and met him at the pub. Onya Val for driving and talking to that freak at mackas and putting up with little kids in the back seat. Australia day was spent eating $70 of lamb (Val send the photo) and getting hammered by monster waves at Torquay cant get much more aussie than that. On Friday caught an early coach from Geelong and then a train back to parents home before jumping on the push-bike to get to Lysterfield. Awesome work by Chicken for organizing water activities at Lysterfield and bringing the Kayaks - that's a paddlin'. Had a bourbon 'n cola then went on a far-too-long swim straight after. After Kayaking we all went to Jodies place for a barbie. I took a short cut through paddocks on my push bike which involved jumping 3 barbed wire fences, dodging cow pats and blackberry bushes then climbing into someone's yard when they weren't home. We all chilled out in the awesome pool/spa and watched the large horned cows (who's paddock I just rode through) have a good time. The rain got a bit annoying so we got umbrellas.
5 mins after that photo was taken a lightening bolt hit 100 m from us - we decided to take a break from sitting in the spa with lightning rods in our hands. Here is an interesting article chicken found.

Tommy, how could you not tell the world about the best food ever eaten in the history of the world! BBQ'ed mini Dim Sims cooked by Munro and surved to us in the pool.
After reviewing Chicken's link I was curious to find the metric equivalent to the F-B rule, and came across this:

My question is.... how can we tell the difference between the least and most affected lightning areas on the map?
