What made you feel good today?

[Citroënbender]

Just got a car started that hasn’t run in over three years, one of my favourite Frog barges - hoping it will be good for rego in a fortnight. Wipers don’t park properly, headlights need a buff and the tint is RS. The busted fourth gear apply band can wait.

[roKWiz]

Good to have the tray / chassis married back up and ready to go to work soon.





Haven't updated the build lately.

[Tonz]

do you work alone, or is there staff involved. I wager a fleet of those lil trucks rocked up at my place for a few days work, I would be impressed.

Even a convoy of em travelling down the road would be satisfying.

The communist scum and butcher of people Joža Manolić has died! I hope there is a special place in hell for him.

Udbaš piece of shit lived too long, I hope he suffered.

Looks like RoKWiz had got himself a fan club. "Little Wizzers' perhaps?

[Citroënbender]

Been preparing for some sublet works at the house tomorrow, need to shift a bunch of cars just for the day and stash a number on the local streets (naughty me; some are without rego). Busy washing, tidying, charging batteries, collating parts, and as of 8:15 tonight - close enough to ready. I don’t like it when people say they’re good for work to start and they aren’t - so no way would I knowingly put others in that situation.

Griezmann's team lost. Cheating, diving, vagina.

Mum invited me around for a lamb roast dinner.

Sorry Tom.

I got out in the garden and sorted the weeds. Also went to use the hedge trimmer to cut back a bush and got it all cleaned up. That's good.

But what made me feel really good is a nice hot shower. I can't remember the last time I had a shower beer and it was ****en good!

[Junkyard-Dog]

Reading Nietzsche always makes me feel good. e.g.

"The worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?"
- Friedrich Nietzsche.

Driving my XR8 after 10+ weeks and having immense pride in this beautiful country that many paid the ultimate price for.

Went to my local Dome for breakfast with Paull.
Spotted an absolute cherry XE Fairmont Ghia V8 parked out front.
Pounced on the owner when he came out.
He told us it has only done 39,000 kays.
White, gold pin stripes, snowflakes, chocolate brown interior, special order by the original owner.
Under the bonnet was perfect, plenum still had seam sealer along it, not a hint of rust.
They're still out there.

5 bucks well spent at the local car boot sale.



box full.

[jaydee]

Score, well done.

The Anzac weekend airshow is on this weekend at the West sale aerodrome.

Aircraft waiting for their turn next in the flying display are holding just to the north of the airfield, which means I can see, and hear, them from my loungeroom.

Love me the sound of a radial engine in the morning.

This is what happens when you look after something rather than treat it as a consumable. Credit to you!

Hearing from my daughter that she's made it into the third round of interviews to become a cabin crew member for Rex Airlines based out of Cairns.

So that's an online interview, a group interview and then individual interview. Successful interviewees will be informed within two weeks if they are successful to move in to three weeks of ground school in Wagga starting late May.

Fingers crossed!

And now she's been asked to provide referees. Can only be a positive.

Guess who's off to ground school!!!

I suspect the hard yards are still to come, tho!

[Citroënbender]

Maybe she’ll later find you an avenue for “soft retirement” as a part time steward.

You never know. Not sure I'd want to do it but I'm sure there'd be worse jobs.

[LG17]

Cairns is a great place to be based out of.

This morning i was driving as you do and the ute behind me changes lanes to pull up beside at the lights. Anyhows the passanger, im assuming the apprentice landscaper gestures for me to put my window down which i did, thinking maybe i have a tail light out or something. But no, he just wanted to say my car sounds mad and ask if it was boosted. No its neither stolen or turboed, just an exhaust on a fairmont ghia. Still the young bloke liked my old car. Typically its just the oldies who say stuff about fairmont ghias, typically along the lines of back when they were new they wanted one but could only justify a futura..
