What's what?

Old-dog. Hi mate. I love magpies, especially when I move across Australia on bird surveys, tabulating the different colour variations and even the cross overs where birds from one region are found at the interface with birds of another region.
And………., I’m a Collingwood supporter, it was meant to be.
Getting a wave of late, just interested. All the best. AW
@AlfredWallace I'm still hurting from the 1990 Grandfinal,
That aside, looks like your Pies are gonna finish the season on a high and send Nick Daicos to a well deserved Charlie.
Just out of curiosity, favourite pie of all time? And not the other pie thread. That got outta hand!
Personally, i was always a Peter Daicos fan.
Southernraw. Hi fella. Favourite pie for me would be Peter Daicos.
He kicked just shy of 100 goals in most years, skill personified, you can see why his boys have such tremendous skill.
Peter McKenna , for me, is still the best kick in the VFL/AFL eras, he’s technique was flawless. Cruelled by knee injuries, of which in today’s game are totally repairable. AW

I’ve dealt with heaps of VFL/AFL players over my time.
Des Tuddenham tried to stitch me up once in a big commercial landscape project, fortunately I was the wiser of group.
I’ve worked with Rene Kink, Bowden from Richmond, Stoneham from Essendon, Van der Haar, Ted Whitten senior and Ted Whitten junior.
In 2019 Dustin Martin called me late in the year for an urgent job to perform a huge turfed area at his Kew home, I knocked him back, he was very polite and a very nice guy to converse with. Most of them were not like him.
I found most of them to be very tight fisted. AW
Cheers boys, I came to Vic in 72 and think he was a Bomber at that stage, son5hats what I associate with him.. As for the lightening farce, it extends both club’s seasons for half an hour. Couldn’t happen to 2 better teams, cept perhaps Carlton.
Yeah great choice AW!! For a pies fan, you're not bad! hehe
As good as Nick is, i think Pete was mecurial....had that freakish ability. I've got his autograph tucked away somewhere.
And fwiw, i actually like Josh Daicos better than Nick....as good as Nick is.
Hope you're enjoying your lightning break!

After today’s surf I’m stuffed, about to fall asleep, out the door at 5.30am tomoz, catch the last bit of this swell.
Anyone else been getting waves of late ? AW
Good on ya AW. I'm sure you can always watch the riveting replay in the morning.
Hope you get waves. Not much quality here of late.
Got the flu so I’m not getting wet
@aw, get a couple of me, thanks
Rest up, get well GS.
Not dead yet :)

@GuySmiley, @SouthernRaw.
Guy, well I did. Super clean this morning, 3ft, odd bigger one , few waves to a set, hardly anyone in the water, patience paid off.
So enjoyable, air definitely warmer, good vibe amongst the five of us.
Give a wave to get a wave, good mantra.
Saw a seal cruise through the line up. A lot of fish splashing around, hence all the Australasian Gannets ( Morus serrator) soaring and gliding past. Life’s good.
All the best for a speedy recovery, Guy. AW
Edit. I wonder if Blackers can work out the anomaly with the gannets Genus name.
Hello AW
Great work surfing with " Good Vibes " and keep living the Good Life going .
Thanks 4 sharing , again .
Perhaps the seal was attracted to the Blue Bandicoot , doesn't sound too fishy 2 me :) ?
A lovely Off Shore almost , but feels like , Spring day .
Things will be popping up , all over the place , coming out from hibernation .
Drop Bear season ., maybe ?
A gannets Genus , sounds important 2 , as everyone needs 1 .
^^ good one @AW may the force be with you
Good one AW, you didn't miss anything this side Guy. Rest up, it's a bugger this year

Hi mate. Hope ya well. I’m in bed, looking at the sun, woke at 4am, thought fuck it, so I hit the coast early, bit of music and a few cups of tea in the car with the dog.
Beautiful day, 21c, coast is looking like a gem.
A swell post surf breakfast discussion with a friend lead to talking about the Bluebird today.
If the forecast holds true to its word, late next week is looking real good for my ‘blessing of the fleet’, albeit it will be only one ocean going vessel, the Bluebird is going to get its head wet in an oceanic baptism.
I employ the Steve Shearer (Freeride76) approach in the line up, talk to most , make quick friendships , applaud good waves caught, ( pumps their ego) and it increases your wave count twofold.
I hope you are getting wet in whatever way you can.
From a scientific perspective, there’s something NQR about the Gannets genus. We will see who can work it out.
All the best. AW
U seized the day , AW .
I am out of the water , on doctors advice , such a pain !
Bloody right shoulder , again .
After building the back up , things will hold together without pain , apparently .
So started going 2 a gym and doing weights ffs !
Might have 2 become a Kneeboarder .
Please keep up the great surfing Updates ., like Steve .
No tears over 1 cm , so surgery not needed
Weird birds, Gannets nostrils are inside their mouth, and they have air bags to cushion the impact when diving. I was fishing once and one of the bastards swooped down and grabbed the bait as I cast out, took me ages to get it untangled and I got covered in real smelly shit.

Old- Dog. Hi mate.
Gannets nostril anatomy has them as you’ve correctly stated , inside the mouth for obvious reasons.
Imagine the sodium blast up those tubes when impacting the water surface.
They have baffles to soften the impact.
I watch all seabirds whilst waiting for waves.
Today over the reef area I was surfing, a lone Black Swan just appeared from the horizon.
A few weeks ago, a mate of mine and I saw a very strange sighting whilst out the back.
A New Holland Honeyeater some 500m from the Jan Juc cliff line flying from the water horizon back to the land.
Many birds get curious and head off thinking they’ll make landfall somewhere, ultimately turning around not so long after they departed.
A small bird with its tiny amount of heat generating body mass would perish very quickly.
Loads of Sooty and the odd Pied Oystercatchers present of late, skulking the low tide reefs. AW
Hey AW missed your hidden quest. We talking Morus serrator, vs Morus australis ( or similar ) perchance? A diving mulberry?
blackers wrote:Hey AW missed your hidden quest. We talking Morus serrator, vs Morus australis ( or similar ) perchance? A diving mulberry…
Blackers. Hi.
You’ve nailed it in one, clever.
Two biological organisms sharing the same genus, this is totally against convention.
I call them ‘bird plants’
I’ve got quite a list.
It pisses me off because, as you would know, the whole reason we have a nomenclatural system of binomial naming is so that anyone, anywhere at anytime from any country can identify a said organism no matter what language is spoken.
I’ve discussed this with colleagues, asked how is this permitted, they say it’s all hush hush with private interests at hand.
Anyway, I like (biological) trivia , you are ‘top of the pops’ at present.
All the best. AW
Edit. Here’s some more I’ve collected.
Arenaria, Chloris, Eremophila, Prunella, plant genera as you and I would know from horticultural studies, they also happen to be birds as well, pisses me off.
Sounds like a great morning AW. Hmmm. The mystery of the Gannet? Got me baffled. Defiinitely one of my faves to see. Have some great footage i've taken of them speeding along huge long lines of southern ocean swell. Amazing how they can glide into a howling Westerly by using both the wave as a wind barrier, then getting a boost into the air from it's updraft as it breaks, then using gravity to glide back down into the wind, barely a single wing flap in the whole process, into a headwind! Super impressive. Is the anomaly that they're actually not Australian? Btw love the Sooty too. Fave seabird.
Ahhh scratch that. Just saw above post. Wow! Classic.

Southernraw. Hi mate. T’was a great morning, fast razor like right handers, punchy wall and speed, something a near 60 year old needs, super fun on a short MOTE channeled bottom twin fin with big fins, flying.
We both reside on or near the Southern Ocean, I love it.
The clarity of the water column is incredible at present especially over the cluster of reefs I surf regularly.
You’d know, the key to birds gliding so close to the water surface is the anatomy/texture of the water surface itself , lightly or slightly ruffled, producing pock holes like a golf ball but in halves, this upturns the wind and all those uplifts connect together and gives the bird the magic carpet ride.
Don’t you love physics. I do. AW
Wow didn't know that fine detail AW. Thanks for the hot tip!!
Yeah it's a beautiful ocean and i'm lucky to live right near where it's at it's most terrifying extreme.
Love the stretch of coast where you are too. Some pretty epic energy along there.

When I lived in Albany in 1984, I saw plenty of that energy, I was 19 years old, we’d arrive at some hidden spots and I’d almost shit my pants at the size and as you stated, energy.
I was a skinny kid getting hammered by massive surf, I survived and became all the better for it.
Some days around Denmark at some spots, I couldn’t get over how powerful the ocean would become, awe inspiring really.
With personal triumphs, fear abated gradually, but yeah fuck, some days I thought I’m going to drown, boards were crap then, too thick, too heavy, too short. AW

Unreal AW. Great recollections and yep, this whole stretch of coast from Augusta to Esperance....and beyond is every bit of that.
And probably same as your coast, it's always waaaaaay bigger than it looks. How many times i've thought it's 3-4foot and you get down to the beach and it's 8foot plus! hahaha. Tail between legs stuff. But exhilarating.
Gotta have the right boards to make the most of this coast. Need alot of boards from big to small. My biggest dillema every morning is which 5 boards to put in the car for the day. Those 5 boards dictate the direction i go. They don't neccesarily have to be amazing boards. Just boards that match the conditions.
You've got a great way of seeing the world AW. Love it.
Thanks mate.

Southernraw. Hi.
Great chatting with you as always.
I’ve 11 boards, purchased over several years, no opulence, just what’s required, can’t part with any of them, like you, I have no favourite, I just surf the board that suits the conditions, it could be a quad , thruster or a twin fin in all different lengths, but always rounded tails. Bed beckons. Catch ya. AW
At least Morus serrator is easy to remember.
My fisho colleagues will be impressed.
Or maybe not.
Always round tails or rounded pins here too AW. ;-)
11 boards AW !
Great , U must Quiver with excitement , deciding which Beast 2 ride .
I have always surfed Rounded Pins .
What's the benefits of a Round Tail ?
Round tails , do look nice !
Is a tail , that important , or just one small part , of a boards Feel ?
ALL the small parts , have 2 work together !
Probably helps 2 get aRound , am guessing :) .
Surfing and surfing equipment , it's Unreal !

PopDown. Hi mate. How’s things trundling along for you in life ?
No surf here today, flat as a shit carters hat !!
Did I recall you mentioning your injured at present?
Boards, well they are an internal love affair with yourself. They’ve all got some kind of an emotional or physical attachment to them..
Each and every one of them has a memory or memories of a particular surf or time in life.
Where you bought them, who shaped them, was it a thoughtful or irrational purchase.
Where you surfed them, where you were geographically, home or away.
A complete memory bank of the kind of waves you caught , surfed successfully or unsuccessfully .
In my opinion, you can’t part with that kind of stuff, it’s part of you..
That’d be like having a dog and all of a sudden giving it up because you’re sick and tired of it, no, no ,no, life doesn’t work that way.
Alas, if you discover immediately that a board is not right, piss it off quickly otherwise it will wreck your physical and emotional side of surfing.
Us surfers, we are a weird mob, we are wired very differently than most, some may say, kind of fucked up, we operate in a sneaky, clandestine type manner, always looking for an opportunity to sneak or duck off for a wave, we are great liars, always manipulating time and reason to get to the surf. But hey, what a skill.
Surfing is an addiction, simply endorphin junkies.
But it’s fun. AW
Edit. Pops, round tails to rounded pin suit by body style and type of surfing, less drag around the tail end than other tail types, makes for nicer turns in my opinion, all individually specific as you’d know.

Andy-Mac. Hi fella.
How are you?
I concur wholeheartedly. Periodically I visit that Southern coastline in the West.
Apart from a few more houses these days, it’s still as raw as ever.
In fact, to me, it’s the most raw and natural (surf) coast I know anywhere on this great continent.
As Australians, we should never take for granted what we’ve got.
Must always fight to keep natural systems from being destroyed.
When it’s gone, it’s gone for good. AW

Problem is if I get a twelfth board, someone will say I need a bakers dozen, then I’ll have two more boards than I really need.!!!
Keep well fella. Reading any good books lately, I’d be interested to hear ? AW
I loved your comments about boards and surfing , AW .
We surfers sure are different , as Surfing is a Unique experience .
Like a Dog or a Girl Friend / Ex wife , I don't put my Mal/ board , on the Roof Racks , either .
I feel better , having my board safe , beside me .
The kids are great thanks, @AW, my Mum, too,
calcium carbonate is already warm from sunday spring northerly.
much needed rain coming in about an hour, orchids and shrooms will love it!
you're right of course about your quiver, and fun to always be searching for the 12th,
rather than finding it. But when you DO, whip zoom, shit-eating grin, cue track!
Getting wet a lot lately, same as you, love hearing about your local line-ups.
All the best! (been reading classic fiction with my son, year 11 kinda stuff),

haha very funny stuff @popdown. That gave me a good laugh.
Agree with the sentiment, you can never have too many boards. That said, I have been moving a few on recently, just not used (too small for old bones etc) with the hope a new home will provide the love needed. It's a slow cull, sell 3 buy 2 sorta process. Long time dead for sure.

yeh, @AW, how full on is the family piano concept? so many people out here in the country who are our age, remember family sing-alongs.
