A good friend visited me on the weekend...and he rides a beautifully-maintained Harley. He rode down (and up) from Gympie...coming via the back roads, by-passing Brisbane etc. <br /><br />I just don't understand the noise. Surely it isn't necessary; surely it can be muffled. And when you get a pack of 12, 20 or more at a time going along one of the mountain's main roads....it really sounds like a jet or two passing by...and the thundering roar seems to go on forever and a day.<br /><br />Friends of mine live over at Eagle Heights, too. That's on the opposite end of the mountain to where I am...I'm at the other end....the southern end, I guess it is :) <br /><br />And yes, the cooler temps are certainly a big plus. When I whinge about the heat I pull myself up and remember if it's hot up here on the hill,it has to be hotter elsewhere down yonder.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-35006853157037406002016-05-15T17:14:37.286-07:002016-05-15T17:14:37.286-07:00I'm with you about motorbikes.

Yes they love the winding roads, they are a real menace to the peace and quiet of the areas they enjoy.<br />As you know my SIL lives at Eagle Heights and loves it there. She's always raving about "the mountain" and how she loves living there and we do enjoy a visit now and then and certainly appreciate the cooler weather.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801049953035653441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-13897539329087468242016-05-12T16:42:12.269-07:002016-05-12T16:42:12.269-07:00In many areas on the mountain it does seem less po...In many areas on the mountain it does seem less populated, Graham...this property for instance...I don't see any other houses from my cabin...a situation that suits me just fine. My landlords live up the other end of the block...between their home and my little cabin are a lot of trees of various descriptions, so I can't see their house or them, and vice versa. And, strange as it may see, I rarely see my landlords. I keep to myself pretty much...purposely. I believe it's better that way.<br /><br />Most of the properties here on the hill are large...which gives one that feeling of rural remoteness in lots of cases. A lot of fresh produce is grown by the home-owners and sold in roadside stalls and at "The Green Shed" every Sunday morning. The Green Shed is situated in the showgrounds' grounds!<br /><br />Thanks for popping back in. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-61676210421246366312016-05-12T14:51:02.538-07:002016-05-12T14:51:02.538-07:00Hi Lynn...

It's just the obviously unnecessary noise created by the rev-heads that really gets on my goat. They have blank spaces in their brains!<br /><br />I don't sit and watch the talk shows...I do, however, record them and whizz through them at a later time....just to see if there is perhaps someone on the shows who I feel is worth watching....but I can't be bothered with all the other nonsense....and the shrieking. I doubt I'd scream if I was given a car...I'd be very surprised and extremely happy, but scream...nope. <br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-6304960872953311542016-05-12T03:11:49.516-07:002016-05-12T03:11:49.516-07:00I'm used to noise, but crave peace and quiet. ...I'm used to noise, but crave peace and quiet. There was trouble at work yesterday and not having a door to close (I work in a cubicle), I put on Pandora (classical.) It makes a huge difference.<br /><br />And I don't care for the shrieking on talk shows either - although I rarely see any of those shows, since they are on during the day. (I confess I might shriek if someone wanted to give me a free car.) :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-53924338347311844962016-05-11T18:11:02.600-07:002016-05-11T18:11:02.600-07:00And the wonderful John Denver always comes to mind...And the wonderful John Denver always comes to mind when I see "some days are diamonds"... :)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by, Sandie. :0Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-20314979772610103522016-05-11T10:03:31.729-07:002016-05-11T10:03:31.729-07:00Some days are diamonds and some are not! lol Boy...Some days are diamonds and some are not! lol Boy did that steak look good - copied the marinate.Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-27185265493858141362016-05-11T06:05:53.599-07:002016-05-11T06:05:53.599-07:00All that exaggerated excitement aggravates me, Riv...All that exaggerated excitement aggravates me, River.
