July Ride and the explosive XR400

2008-07-16T15:43:00.004+10:00

I went on an off road ride with some heli pilot friends on July 13th, we stayed in Cape Tribulation overnight...

On the way we had some tribulations of our own...

Things usually happen in three's.

First our friend Hector, crashed and hurt his shoulder, then Jason's bike
"an XR400" expired in a most catastrophic way.. (See pics..)

Then my front tyre went flat (the stem pulled out) Ian had the only spare tube and was 30 Kms away, therefore I proceeded to ride the 30 Kms to Cape Trib on a very rough, hilly rocky road, in the dark with my 1 candle power headlight at night..

Later many war stories were shared over a few schooners of beer... all up it was a great trip.

Winter Down under

2008-06-11T10:42:00.005+10:00

Well , it is winter Down Under... It has been a while since my last post....

It may be time to update my resume......Here is the link....Always a work in progress...

http://www.entropy.info/references-cv.htm

For those interested in finding out if the Peak output of Oil has been reached there is a good graph on the bottom right of this page.. I always refer to www.sydneypeakoil.com for news... We have only used half the worlds Oil, but the last have is increasingly more expensive and damaging to the environment.. Do you get the feeling we should have addressed this issue more seriously at least 20 years ago ??? The developed world should be very busy playing catch-up by now... I am not sure the current money paradigm will allow things to happen as quickly as need be.

"Going Troppo: How does the Wet Season affect you?"

2008-01-23T22:31:00.000+10:00

The Wet Season; does it make people go troppo and after all what is troppo ? Is it a state of
mind or some kind of psychosomatic condition? Is troppo collective thinking?
Can “going troppo” be defined as the collective unconscious, in which the minds of many unite to form the feelings we expect to experience, like a self fulfilling prophesy?

The very idea that someone becomes a little irrational at the time of the wet season does not seem to make sense on the surface, however studies have shown lack of light in the northern hemisphere winter can have an effect on one's sense of wellbeing. Other seasonal effects can give rise to more afflictions of the body and mind. It is therefore no leap of faith to surmise that heat and humidity may have similar effects on the human psyche.

Rumors of people “going troppo” can infuse a culture. It can re-enforce the ideas of heat-induced madness and other mental afflictions both perceived and real. Is
“mango madness” really a kind of psychosomatic group think?

Hidden away in the high mountain rainforests of North Queensland near Herberton, we are here to try and find out what Troppo means to some people.
John, Steve and Paul give us their insights.

JOHN BURTON:

“the heat, humidity, rain non stop rain”

“saps it out of you”, “ drives you crazy”

STEVE FIDDES:

“makes you a bit depressed”

“tempers flair a little quicker”

“it seems to build up and people start cracking”

PAUL TREDGETT:

“just part of the cycle up here'

“just kind of hunker down”

“seems to effect the whole culture though”

“I get more power from the micro hydro from more rain”

The physical effects on the body of the heat and humidity can have a definite effect on one's ability to sustain physical and mental activity. Avoiding physical effort in the heat of the day is a good way to avoid the non disputable effects on the body.. How do we avoid the effects on the mind ?

Paul may have some insights with his positive view of “The Wet”. Paul looks at the wet season as a time of nourishment for the rainforest and for one's soul, it also has a more practical dimension for him as the extra water also means more power from his self designed and manufactured micro-hydro. When the sun is not shining on his solar panels, it is likely to be raining somewhere in the mountains, feeding the creek that powers his micro-hydro system.

A positive view of the constant rainfall and humidity is certainly a way to avoid “Going Troppo” when the worst of the weather rolls in like a wet blanket covering the north.

The wet season can be a source of inspiration, the plants thrive on it, many animals are active in a different way when natures palate of green saturates the northern part of Australia. It truly is a beautiful contrast to the cool, dry, brown winter season.

Perhaps a simple change of attitude can make the state of “going troppo” a healing condition rather then a time to get cranky. Revel in your wet season, go for a swim in the creek, enjoy sweating out the impurities in your body, lap up the visual splendor of the soothing colour green. Perhaps if everyone went a bit "troppo" we could shake our selves loose from our synthetic air conditioned world for a while.

In Sept 2007 Martin and Marco traveled to Victoria, BC to catch up with the family.. It was so nice to be greeted by everyone in the family at the Airport ! Yoko continued her course at college and went straight to Tokyo to see her family. Martin and Marco then met her and her family in Tokyo. Martin had a good visit with his friends and went back to Cairns first. A week later Yoko and Marco came back to Cairns.. It is now early October and everything is back to normal.
