Worked out how to use livestock transport app. 
Tuesday 24
Separated steers and left them in the firing yard. Phil Northcot picked them up for Cross's and took them to Dalby. Apparently today he had a collection of annoying cattle to picked. Robyn and I went to Kingaroy to get van serviced and we took the ute to get around in while we were there. No courtesy car this time. Pickup Europe travel documents. Did some shopping for stuff Kate wants. Lunch at Mitre 10 then shopping and fuel and then back to pickup car and home. Then went to Ironpot Hall and fixed ceiling over stage. Think a sheet got stood on while reroofing it. 
Wednesday 25
Bell Relief. Sports day. Weather turned out pretty good. Great to see the number of parents and Dad's who show up at these small school events. I was on timing and discus. Robyn went to Toowoomba to pickup a bike for the rail trail ride Kingaroy to Wondia to Goomeri then went to stay at her mums place with Wendy and Maddy who ate doing it too. Sold the 2 steers bit disappointed paid $2.80 and they only weighed 307kg $1722 total. Think I am with Ian need to find another place to sell. 
Thursday 26
Robyn is off on her bike tour from Kingaroy to Wondi today. I am at Dalby CC athletes carnival. The westerly blew form and cold most of the day. I was stater. Think it went OK. Eye were stinging  a bit by the evening. Seems to be a issue with the water getting to the other place. Dad's buggy is not going well came home and hadva go at fixing it. Found a problem with the choke but then it would not start. Talk to Chris and we are hoping it was just badly flooded. See what tomorrow brings. 
Friday 27
Last day for the term at Dalby CC. Second day of Carnival. It ran well. At home the trough ball tap came undone again. Dad turned off tank so it would fill and not all run away. I pumped rain water up too because they are predicting rain again next week. Robyn and Maddie rode to Goomeri. After Cherbroug Wendy went back and got Maddie's car. After Robyn dropped Wendy home and got back to the farm about 9pm.  I reset up spot for outback trip. 
Saturday 28
Woke up anxious about all the things that need to be done before we can go. Started with a brief chat to Jess in the last of our Good and Beautiful God group for a while. Then I spoke with Will Doble about MotoGP. After breakfast I went and fixed float in other place trough. Tried to get dad's buggy going but no luck I will have to leave it to Chris. Went through and checked bags for bike ride and loaded them in the ute. Robyn and I went back to check trough and opened gate between front hill paddock and other place so cows in front hill can get to water. Said our goodbyes and headed to Toowoomba to Robyn's hire drop bike off. Saw Meridy on the way through to Ben and Nay's. Dave messaged to say he was in Brisbane.

Week 69 20-27 July CRD57 W3 Europe

Sunday 20 Started the day with a visit to Kelpies on the North East of Falkirk. These huge art installation of two houses heads represent images of the Scottish mythical beast the Kelpie a water creature that looks like a horse. Very impressive. More driving in the beautiful Scottish countryside to our breakfast spot Tinto Hills Tearooms near Thankerton. Here I met a motorcyclist enjoying a ride and a Sunday morning coffee. Really think I need to come back and ride here. Next we visited Hadrain's wall or the ruins of part of it. It was the Romans Defence line across English to keep the Scots out. Originally 4 metres high what we saw was part of the foundations. The view of the English countryside was picturebook idyllic. Next we went to Lockerbie to see and reflect on the event of the Lockerbie bombing where a bombed PanAm jet literally fell out of the sky in 1988. The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
