Paskevill FC and NC wind up presentation dinner tonight. Privileged to be able to take my smashing wife out and about. Can't wait to get my hands on the B grade leading gaol kicker award after my stunning 12 goals.

Quickest trip To KI ever. Caught 6am ferry over (4am start) & now on 11:30am back. Fixed 2 weather station sites with helper No2. Beautiful flay conditions on the water although sheep smells are making Euro tourists turn their noses up!

I'm fortunate in my AgTech career, I've chosen hardware that's usually robust, can be maintained & upgraded. These @Sentek EnviroSCAN probes are 12YO. Updating from 3G to 4G CAT M1 modem. I've deployed only 4G telemetry since '19, but have 300+ 3G units installed prior to that.

Spent the day around the Upper North of SA installing soil moisture probes. Beautiful part of SA. Mt Remarkable so pretty in the morn sun. An old weir gate on Willochra creek. This region is long way short of annual rainfall, plenty of paddocks not yet germinated

Bit of a yarn about my nephew and his encounter with a king brown prior to Christmas. Needless to say, we got snake bite bandages for presents
