"I'll Be Bach!"

It took me a moment to realize which composer he was talking about. I went over the list in my head till I came to Bach. Then it was funny!

I resemble that remark.
And I don't like it.

As I was getting ready to venture out into today's 90 degree+ heat, my random thought was that Arizona sweatshirts are way different from Northern sweatshirts. My sweatshirts are Greg Norman golf shirts. They are light, airy, and don't show sweat.....

Don't know, I've been working on the tractor under a shelter all day, wearing a greasy Can Am t-shirt and greasy sweat pants. It was 76°F here until the thunderstorms started. It is a freezing cold 66 degrees now. Got too dark to see without the flashlight and I came inside. I try not to wear anything but cheap t-shirts in the shop because the weld splatter and grinding sparks burn holes through my shirts. My random thought is that I should quit working and really retire, but I always find something that I've got to do.

Hay Peter how bout it?

That's on the Nullarbor (it's West of us here in SA), not the Hay Plain - altho the Hay Plain (East of us here) is about 700 km across, and unlike the Nullarbor, there's a few largish towns along the way, with no more than about 340 km between them, AND there are actually some trees too!

I done the Nullarbor on a Spyder a couple of times so far, always in a bit of a rush, picking up &/or delivering a Spyder for/to someone else; but I am still aiming to do a leisurely tour on my RT one day, maybe with the Child Bride as a pillion. We've got close to doing that a couple of times, only to get stopped by stupid things like COVID outbreaks, heat waves, or floods. But I have crossed the Nullarbor numerous times both ways on a variety of 2-wheelers; other people's Prestige Autos; mine & others 4WD's; and in a range of private &/or work (mine & others) cars, trucks, Semi's, Road Trains, aircraft of various sizes, and a couple of times, even by ultra-light aircraft; and very memorably, I once flew from Adelaide to Sydney to pick-up and then repair/prepair/drive/deliver one very old & retired Sydney Urban Transit Authority Double Decker bus with a 500+ hp Leyland V8 diesel engine & a Wilson pre-selector gearbox that was then diff governed to an absolute top speed of 50 kph/about 30 mph (ie. power & torque out the whazoo, but if its wheels were on the ground, it wouldn't go faster'n 50 kph down a vertical cliff with a tornado tail wind!! ) all the way across the Country from Sydney via the Nullarbor to Perth - I can tell you that was a verrrry loooong, hot, and verrry tiring trip! But a great adventure too!

We've got some biiig wiiiiide open spaces over here in Oz! And what can often loosely be labelled as 'roads' crossing them!

Just out of curiosity, I am wondering how a Covid out break could stop you from crossing an expanse where there are probably so few people who could even get Covid that the risk seems infinitesimal? It would seem to be a place where any distance restrictions are already taken care of by the lack of human inhabitants.
