The return to Zoom this week brought some very informative banter amongst the guests. Of particular interest was the growth of David Nutter's beard and moustache and how Mummy has let him get away with it. We are all looking forward to the end result!
Gus sparked our curiosity with the unusual style of Argentinian BBQing, which reminded me of Joan of Arc. In Argentina, where there's fire, there's a dismembered cow slowly grilling over hot coals. Asado isn't just a barbecue, or a cultural tradition, it's a main source of national pride and is worshipped high on a majestic meat pedestal alongside fútbol, Messi, and the Pope. I guess we are all going to Gus's house for a BBQ sometime soon!
Greg Lee then spoke about the current situation with cyber crime and some of the ways that ransomware was infiltrating computer networks, encrypting data and then putting in a ransom for it. Very interesting and scary stuff!
Last cab off the rank was a fly around the Boral Quarry in Deer Park by drone, courtesy of PP Laury Gordyn. Excellent footage.
Next week, Wednesday 9th June 2021, will also be a Zoom meeting courtesy of the State Government. Greg Lee has organised a presentation on the Clyde Road Level Crossing Removal Project. Greg has been the Club's representative on the Stakeholder Liaison Group, to keep us informed on this project. There are a lot of interesting facts to learn not just about the project itself, but also about what gets dug up along the way. If you have seen how big the auger is on the drilling rig, you will realise that they are digging up the past! Well worth a zoom in! Starts 7.40pm https://us04web.zoom.us/j/907397432 Password: Rotaryzoom
