A friend dropped off some Krispy Kremes yesterday, honestnever had them before in my life. Still, donuts equal “feel good food”. I thought of the Wiz as I ate a pink one.

The NZD to AUD exchange rate was good to us today, 9 cents difference at the mo. Either our South Pacific Peso is rising, or sadly yours is heading south.

Passed 1000km's on the odo of my car and just like that, i now have full boost (14psi)and a vehicle capable of speeds i am not gonna mention on a public forum.
And i have no doubt this is a low 4 sec 0-100kph car manually shifting at 5500rpm instead of the redline.

I have asked the question everywhere about certain characteristics of this car and particularly the run in procedure and possible hobbling of the ecu by KIA but this morning i found out for myself :Upto

Cannot wait for my NEW ecu to get here...

Yesterday.
Petrol was cheap Tuesday, put 50 litres in the XC because I want to go to a car show Saturday.
Went in to pay and the young woman behind the counter says,
"That beautiful car on pump 7"
"Thankyou, yes need some fuel for a car show Saturday I'm going to"
"I'm working Saturday, can you come through again?"

Its a worry when they show more interest in your car than they show you :groan

Yes......I know the feeling well.

When I drive the XR8 along the beach front on a sunny day, the car gets lots of second looks from young woman. The trouble is, when they notice the old bloke driving it, I only see a look of disappointment on their faces.

Oh well, such is life. https://www.fordforums.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Unfortunately not. The timing is not right for me and not likely to be for the next couple of years. This is an interim step that might allow me to make a mid-life career change. An opportunity that initially came cloaked as a pretty major hiccup.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

I put my car in for a service and I was waiting for the call to say you need to replace this or that but nothing! Just a standard service which is always good.

It is 20 years old next month daily driven and flogged with original engine, gearbox and clutch so I always get nervous :lol

The plan is hopefully get it to around 300,000km and one more set of tyres before buying another car for my 40th :)

Was looking for a cheap and rough bumper to keep the Commodore repair legal while I prep and paint the correct one.

Found a genuine SSV front bar with fogs and harness, never been crashed, repaired or oversprayed, $100. It needs a refresh at this time in its life but I’m confident of onselling it when no longer needed; should even come close to a profit. It’s like finding a tidy B-series XR front bar for $100, doesn’t often happen.

Rest day on The Pushup Challenge. I'm not the fittest person, particularly upper body. We're three days into a 23 day challenge, completing 3144 whilst raising awareness of mental health issues and raising money for mental health support agencies.

Day 1 was 96 pushups, day 2 was 130 and yesterday was 175, so the break is welcome.

Going to be a big week this week with the max daily target being 210 and the lowest 130.

E: oh, forgot to mention the significance of the 3144 pushups is that represents the number of people that died by suicide in Australia in 2021.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

As a child, every Saturday my mother would take my sister and I to my grandparents for lunch. As girl who grew up on a farm, my grandmother was a brilliant country cook. Her food was never flash, but ALWAYS tasted so good. It was interesting to watch (and help) her cook, explaining that her rough cutting skills would "eat alright". Strange how such words and phrases stick with us for life.

Lunch always involved a table full of food, way more than five people would need but as a growing boy, I always found room for another helping of whatever was on that table. Through winter, she would make soup, sometimes she would make sausage rolls............way better than anything you could buy..........served with lashings of homemade tomato ketchup. Another favorite was Zucchini slice.

So simple to prepare, but the taste was always nothing short of delicious, and the smell from the kitchen mouthwatering. Whenever we cook her recipe, it's always a pleasant reminder of the wonderful lady my grandmother was.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

You are lucky it can be replicated.
My grandmas signature dish is/was her spaghetti casserole. She never gave up her secret. Both my mum and my aunty have tried and failed.
Grandma is still kicking, but she is 96 and has forgotten her secret recipe. As simple as it sounds, grandmas spaghetti casserole was the best.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Got an argon bottle from BOC a while back for welding while doing rust repairs on the XC.
Got an email from them saying to return my argon bottle as contract is due to expire, or renew for $199.
Not planning on doing any work for a while on the car so I returned it, practically empty too.
Bloke behind the counter says I get a free one because I'm under the old plan where you get one free refill.
Cool, thanks.
I'm still confused why they asked me to renew for $199, but not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Seems that one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.The $199 will be the annual rental whereas the free fill s a supply bonus.Some companies(Nubco here) sell cylinders then you just pay for the exchange full cyl.

Maybe you should try bunnings if you have a store near you that does Mig Gas, pay as you go with no rent fees.

https://www.bunnings.com.au/coregas-...g-gas_p5910386

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Haven’t used mig gas for a few years now,but it appears that Bunnings charge a$200 deposit on the bottle plus $99 for the gas,but no annual rent to BOC.That was the killer with me.At the time might have been $130 rental and about $100 for the gas.Problem was it would take at least 5 years to use a bottle of gas,so over 5 years that would cost me $7-800

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

I picked my brother up today to go visit our grandparents, specifically my grandma. Grandmas short term memory has faded, but her long term is still there. So she was happy to have visitors, when i asked her if she knew the date she said she had not checked. When i said it was the 15th of june she instantly said it was her birthday. Bingo, we were there for her birthday. She was really happy. Dunno if she knew or not, but the facility was putting on a special lunch for grandmas birthday. Not that its a competition, but my grandpa kinda treats it like that, but if he and grandma arent the oldest in the place, they arent far off. Grandma turned 96 today, grandpa turns 97 at the end of next month. Dunno if this is the secret to longevity or not, but my grandparents are both ones to always see the positives in life as opposed to being grumpy old people.

Had a laugh with the duty manager of a Supercrap today, I was looking at all the stuff they pitch at young people to add appeal to their cars. Suggested they should be also selling some family planning basics in case these bits actually do “get the chicks”. He could see the humour in this, too.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Admired the merch but bought lots of spares for EOFY.


Some of those (pictured) Drake model trucks are in the $500 region, that's a good set of Meritor brakes.

Funny, one parts guy there told me lots of holidaying Europeans come in and buy the KW bug emblems to take back.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

So that's where Cav shops, then? Mind you, don't think he'll need to make use of any 'family planning basics' :yelrotflm
