Cool,,,,, or rather "hot stuff"

I've never done this before,, but WOW
It's very cold and frosty here tonite, and I just stepped out the back door and stood in the middle of the lawn for a few minutes and had a quick
look around with the thermal binocs to see what was creeping around after dark.
There were seven big old roos only 25 meters away,, and I observed them for a couple of minutes.
Then two possums and a Hare.

Heading back towards the door and the warmth behind,,,,,,,,, I swung around and looked back to where I'd been.
There in the middle of the lawn were my really bright footprints where I'd been standing,, and the others coming toward me.

I knew that this was possible,,,,,,, but had never actually bothered to do it.
It felt like I was standing outside myself. :lol: :lol:
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.

Did you eat some moldy bread

It would have had to have been mouldy rye bread.

Slackness in food hygiene simply introduces a self initiated colonic cleansing.

Either mouldy rye, or practicing witchcraft.

Another good example that I've seen was one night I was looking through and under the leaves on a large tree where cattle had eaten all the leaves as far up as they could reach.
The end result was like an upside down hedge that had been well manicured with a hedge clipper.
Was looking under, and through to the far reaches of paddocks beyond when a magpie that was roosted in the tree had a big sh!t,,, and it lit up like a meteor hurtling downwards vertically to the ground.

We use thermals in the CFA to check for things like the # of occupants that were in a vehicle at a crash, the seats stay warm for a long time.
