Rio Tinto is running 34 Autonomous trains a day over in the Pilbara bit to far for you. :lol:

Did you see the destruction caused by the BHP train out west that got away from the driver and then had to be deliberately derailed? Got to well over 100 kph apparently.
It looked like a war zone.

Jezz its hot here in the valley.

Into the second 24 hour wearing the Heart Monitor, at the end of each 24 hour got to go and get new card and battery, had to replace a couple of patch's were the wire clips on they come unstuck. Hope they find something this time around.

Like a smiley face????
I have been lucky enough to spend a good portion of these stinking hot days in the hottest part of the foundry (in my section) playing with red hot iron castings on a daily basis.
Yay me. Don't be jealous, sweated so much I didn't have enough left for a leak at smoko.
Still fat tho, dagnabit.

One minute I am happily decaling a 911 GT2 Porsche, next thing I know there is puke, a crying 18 month old and a grumpy Mummy, oh boy.
That is one modelling session that is well and truly over.
