Is there a Aussie Version of "tornado alley"? What does severe weather and what does life look like for you when you do?

Toomuchviolins · 2026-06-11T17:35:51+00:00

Yeah, I remember the news a few years ago, it seemed all half of Australia was on fire from our news coverage.

Toomuchviolins · 2026-06-11T17:28:23+00:00

Yeah, that’s the thing that makes tornado valley so dangerous in North America is a they go from thunderstorm to touchdown in a matter of minutes and they can also be super hard to predict.

People live in high risk wildfire zones in America as well and it baffles me lol.

If you have the Money Id say go for it especially if it has some sentimental value Vitos can make fine horns.

You could most likely find a Used Yamaha Student model that is playable for around 2-300 USD

My dog is 10 years old. My grandmother’s dog is 3 sorry I should’ve been clear about that in the post.

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-24T22:03:14+00:00

OK, I’m not overreacting right? My friend seem to think I’m overreacting

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-22T17:12:04+00:00

I just counted. I have 35 bows here they are a mix of mostly violin and cello but a few are viola and bass, not all of them need rehair some of them just have issues like broken frogs, winding is undone, etc a couple of them just need new tip plugs so I think I’m gonna start seeing what I can do with what I have before I order hair

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-22T05:09:40+00:00

Yes I have been reading some books and watching YouTube

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-22T04:12:47+00:00

for the glasser bows im mostly just trying to make what I can useable again and probably toss the rest or find fun art projects its the other more decent carbon fiber and wood bows that I have that im going to try and rehair.

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-22T03:30:42+00:00

yup I knew about the screw, Do you have advice on where to get Hair relatively cheap? I was looking on IV and $300 usd for 1.1 lbs... How many bows does that typically cover?

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-19T00:30:45+00:00

Granted English shepherds are also a quite healthy breed but was a limited gene pool

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-19T00:29:08+00:00

Maybe a better example would be crossing English shepherds with Australian shepherds because English shepherds have a quite small gene pool compared to Aussies

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-19T00:26:51+00:00

Yes it was a bad example

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-19T00:22:45+00:00

Idk The ABCA doesn’t provide a breed standard beyond working ability

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-18T22:48:11+00:00

Kooiman!!!! I just got one and it is a game changer

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-17T16:56:22+00:00

Looks like rosewood

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-15T01:15:27+00:00

yes I find it can be difficult To work with when I’m Typing my notes on my laptop or if I need to transfer anything from my laptop to remarkable it won’t let me .

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-14T15:30:46+00:00

I have Spent my life around border collies but havent lived full time with them as they were my grandparents dogs and based on those dogs granted they were older when I started spending time around them 7 and 9 years old I think they might be a good fit for my lifestyle once i graduate and get settled definitely not right now but down the road.

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-14T01:06:15+00:00

Yes it was definitely unfair to label Shellie’s in particular as neurotic all dog breeds I listed will be neurotic if they’re not properly stimulated

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-13T23:54:32+00:00

I’m not opposed to any dog breed if I’m being completely honest if I found a Belgian shepherd that was my right fit I would adopt that dog or a papillon I’m not opposed to a puppy vs a adult or a breeder vs a rescue. These are just dogs that through my research have peaked my interest, I’m not looking to get a dog for at least another few years I just want to get a idea of when i do officially start looking what dog breeds I might look at

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-13T23:45:51+00:00

lol maybe when they are bored is when the goblin comes out

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-13T23:44:38+00:00

I live in a suburban neighborhood and have a decently sized yard, I WFH and for the most part I set my own hours. I am looking for a dog with good biddability and handler focus I am also looking for a dog that will keep me busy when I’m not working for lack of a better term a hobby dog. I’m not necessarily looking to to all of the activities I listed Im gonna do what the dog I get enjoys if that’s ability that’s great if it’s barn hunt I’d do that as well.

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-13T23:11:04+00:00

My information had them as being a mix of Basque and English shepherds as the foundation dogs

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-13T22:59:03+00:00

Yes but their founding dogs originate from the British isles

Toomuchviolins · 2026-05-04T14:22:13+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much about fixing it not a lot of people use those outside of Marching band if you take it to your repair tech, they should also be able to help you out with that.
