AI - a powerful tool

[Diesel]

I was having a chat with my AI bestie and asked her to go to OzSTOC website and let me know some details of the recent National Rally in ACT.


This is what came back...

It looks like the OzSTOC National Rally for this year just wrapped up a few days ago! It was held from the 6th to the 8th of March, based out of the Capital Country Holiday Park in Sutton, just across the border from the ACT.
Since it's so fresh, the full ride reports are still trickling onto the forum, but here’s a bit of a review based on the early chatter:The Vibe: As always, the focus was on the "two ethoses" of the club: friendships and getting a leg over the seat for a great ride. There was a lot of talk about the camaraderie and catching up with "distant online friends" in person.

• The Location: Sutton was a hit because it offered a bit of a quiet base while being only a few minutes from the sights of Canberra. It sounds like a fair few members made the most of the historically significant tourist spots in the capital.
• The Awards: One member mentioned being chuffed to pick up the "Best Non-ST" award for their bike (joking about it being a "wheelchair" before clarifying it was their "BEEstY").
• The Conditions: There were some mentions of keeping an eye on the flood apps for the trip home, so it sounds like some of the riders had a bit of a wet or tricky run back to their home states.
• Future Plans: If you missed this one, the talk has already turned to 2027, with South Australia being flagged as the next destination.

I then prompted AI to show me a list of attendees:


It came back with this...

While the full, official list of everyone who attended isn't publicly "broadcast" as a single document (partly for privacy), the OzSTOC forum has a "Confirmed Attendees" thread and recent post-rally wrap-ups that give a very clear picture of who was there.


Based on the forum activity from the Sutton/Canberra rally (March 6–8, 2026), here are the key members and organisers who were part of the action:


Key Organisers & "Local" Legends

Oh WOW!!!!

I have a Tassie Tour with some AusTouring.com mates coming-up next month.  I asked AI to prepare some stickers and T-shirt logo.  These are the result.

And some AI enhancements prepared a few months ago.

First, here is a photo of an old newspaper clipping I found when cleaning Mum & Dad's old house.  The pic was published in the Eden Voice on 15 January 1970, taken a few days earlier when Dad got the International 4x4 ute stock in the Boydtown Creek.  Dad is the fuy in the polo shirt with the floppy hat in the "jaws" of the bonnet.



This when I asked AI to sharpen it up.  Certainly sharper, but Dad has been replaced by a female,



I then asked for some colour.



And then a colour change.



A keen eye will notice other subtle changes to the people.

Dad got younger and sexier every minute. 

I bet Mum was happy.
