How many people know that Exmouth, W.A. used to have the highest man-made structure in the southern hemisphere? I stood at the very top of that sucker in 1981!

What was it?
Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt

That's the one. Now it is a tourist destination. I was the DJ at the Potshot Inn back in 81-82. Also at the enlisted mens club on base. I guess it is all gone now.

Not too sure but it looks like it is still there, they cange the name and it is to be shared by the 2 partys involved
In July 2002, the Royal Australian Navy handed over operation of the station to the Defence Materiel Organisation.[9] The base is currently operated under contract by Raytheon Australia.[10] On 15 July 2008, Australia and the US signed a bilateral treaty governing the future joint use of the facility for the next 25 years.[11]

I'm mostly a dog guy but kitties are cool too. Cats are more independent and I like my buddy with me all the time.
ALL critters are cool to me. Wild and domestic. I relate to them better than most ppl.

After reviewing my statement I must apologise if I offended anyone.
Sometimes I too can be a donkeys hind end at times.
Sorry

I have 2 large dogs and they kind of a strong prey drive, so kitties are a snack before meal time

Ok
just throwing this out there
I found my old weed that was stored in the wee bottom of an old freezer unit
It was from 2012 and it had thrown nannas and seeded itself so I stored some and kind of forgot about it
I cleaned approx 2 oz and found 4 mature seeds and say lets see.
I did not scuff the seeds with sandpaper or scrape the egdes with razor , nothing zip just popped them in shot glass of water and waited for them to sink,(2 days) on heated electronics box.
This morn all 4 had tap roots, so as far as Im concerned storing seeds in freezer works for long term storage.
Never had any go this amount of time before,
Cool
Just thought I would pass this on

I have seeds that are 30 years old. The freezer issue is if they are dry 100% dry. If you freeze them they will split and rot.

 

[oldfogey8]

I guess I’d have thought the opposite with any moisture left in the seed freezing and expanding to split the seed. I have been storing my seeds vacuum sealed in a mason jar with desiccant packs in the basement.

I have a 100 lb American bulldog. We have cats too that he tolerates but I can see in his eyes he is always calculating the cost-benefit analysis of eating one or two...

That could get expensive,

I wonder if they lasted so well because they were still in the herb not in a little jar or storage cap.
The herb may have acted as an absorption ie:de-humidifier unit.
I have other older Pineapple Express seeds stored in dry rice in small mason jars
Those I want to try and pop,

 

[QBCrocket]

What up Crocket?
So its afternoon there?
I've always wanted to visit Australia. I think they won't let me in tho cuz of my past criminal record.
Go figure, y'all started as a prison colony but won't let criminals in. lol. I don't blame them. I wouldn't let me in either! lol

I think we let anyone one in here , Ive always wanted to go to Canada for a look but they wont let me in there , ya don't think of these things at the time ,

He is probably thinking in terms of treats vs no treats for a dead cat or two...
