Re: What made you feel good today?
 

A few years ago, my dog had a pretty bad skin issue. As part of the management regime, I got on to an Australian owned, manufactured and ingredients dry food. I've been using it ever since, afraid to take the dog off this regime in case the skin condition returns.

The only place I can get it locally, is the local dog shop. They're very nice people, willing to help out, and like a chat whenever I go in.

They also run a 'your 6th purchase of a particular product is free' program. I went in this morning to purchase another 13kg bag of the dry food, to find this was my free one. Gotta be happy with that.

Hard to know where to start, lets try this... from the beginning,

'she' casually mentions to me the her scissors have been stolen out of the car, which she forgot to lock, cause she was in a rush to get to the super market before COB that day.

I did everything I could to locate the 'said' missing pairs of scissors, and blow me down, I kept drawing blanks.. I talked to cash convertors, all the local pawn shops, I over extended my self and even did a Facebook Lost and found request, but alas, for love nor money, do you think I could find these? Nup. Missing...
then I tried to explain to her what has happened.
Yeah right, try doing that to the one who has a hairy thing...

And guess what?

Here they are in amongst my tools. Life is good again (for me)

can't wait to see the final score...

Gave the jazz a service today, it needed new plugs, which involved taking out the wiper cowell.
The daughter and her mate turn up just as I start twirling spanners, I looked like an absolute boss at that point.
And now I have renewed gratitude to Honda for their engineering in such a small package.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

You just reminded me of a 2004 Hyundai Getz that I bought to flip a few years back.
It needed a new 'lump', and to replace it, you had to remove the wiper cowl.
Pretty bizarre for me at the time, as I was not a full time 'spanner twirler' at the time.
Glad they made it so easy, as from opening the bonnet to closing it took me just under 4 hours. Yes I had the use of a hoist in a workshop.
Another fun fact, that's when I found out the AEG cordless 1/2 inch drive impact guns are the bomb. It undid both the CV shaft nuts with out a whimper.
My past experience with CV shaft nuts has been using a 600mm fixed head braker bar, with a long length of pipe, and... a 2nd person inside car with foot of brake while having it in 5th gear. I love tech... sometimes.

doing my last delivery today, I drove from Woodside down to Edinburgh parks. Hopped outta the truck, handed in my paperwork, went to get back in the truck and found old mate waiting for me.

Made My DAY!!

No, he (she) wasn't dead, just stunned. Hd both windoze open cranking along at a blistering 97kmp/h and guess he clipped the mirror, was stunned for a while, and I came to the rescue just in time to take a helping hand and a happy snap before he (she) flew away.

Happy stuff peoples..

What? You wanna use OL mate for fishing :jawd NO! Attachment 107714 :lol

Well today I had to minor wins. Went down to the BP scratch and go for my Saturday morning ritual car wash, and the guy wasn't there yet (7.05am). The bloke behind the counter says, "mate would you like a coffee on the house while you wait"?
I say, naaaah mate, don't drink coffee.. but I could use a free bottle of water.
Him "sure, no problem".So I scored a $3.50 600ml bottle of water. Tick. (I currently get 24 bottles at Woolies for $9.90).
I says: Oi, do you know what these guys make? (pointing to the label on the water bottle).
Him: "yeah, they make water".
Me: really? :raisedeye They make water do they? Are they God?
Him, argh, I see your point. Yeah, they make plastic bottles.
Me: Correct.

Nothing like a good rev up in the morning when having a pending date with some spanners (hell yeah!).

Next, went home to change the oil on the TURD. Found out I was short by about 4 litres. Bugga. Had a look at Auto Clowns and they had what I wanted for a Fiddy.

Cool. :afro

Went down to get some and this was the result:https://i.postimg.cc/ZnNkTNfS/oil-purchase.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/JnvVVx5x/oil-receipt.jpg

They had an "in store" special... meaning only at that exact store could you get 1 for $34 clams, instead of $$ Fiddy. Win. Tick.

Sure, I got 2, so now all I need for the next 5000km oil change is a filter.

Had a look at the recipe for the last filter I purchased from this store, and it was like $27..

Hmm, will be on Ebay later to hunt down a Wix filter for less than the Ryco I settled for this time.

Cheers.

Hope sumfin good happened to you guys to!

Started up the new project ute today for a car shuffle at work, let it idle and all systems stabilise. First time I’ve blipped the throttle on it, on gas injection mode, too - it was a fat, rorty thing! Cat and just one muffler at the rear. Made me smile.

Looking at over 20 years worth of files on my resurrected p.c. from the shed.
Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know the file size of this ACA file.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Annual leave starts this afternoon!!

I'm ready for a holiday. I had time off a few months ago but that was spent moving house, hardly relaxing.

This year I have three holidays booked, one starts this weekend and I have been busy booking the next two while I should have been busy packing for this trip.

Re: What made you feel good today?

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

I don't believe feel good is the correct description as I am in pain. However it must be "good for me". Joined a friend early this morning to do a 35km ride to Frankston (so many psyclopaths out at that time!). Then in the afternoon I joined my brother on kayaks and rowed from Edithvale to Bonbeach and return. This is on top of climbing the 1,000 steps on Mount Dandenong yesterday evening - not once but three times.

Ow, ow, ow

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Just heard from my son, this morning, who is hiking through the ice fields of southern Chile, while we just had an overnight minimum of 27 in Perth and going to be 42 today.
Been out of contact for 10 days, a bit concerning, but relief now.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

BIG relief for you.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

yep .... we have them quite often here & yes they can will be very extremely noising deafening.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

I posted this video on an American forum, the sound of the birds in the background had a few perplexed.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Hope you made up some story like that is the warning noise they give off for any human to seek shelter before they attack.

Finishing work and going home

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Some pavers I've been waiting on have finally arrived!
I'm not sure why I feel good as there's more hard work coming up.

Re: What made you feel good today?
 

Where do I start?

It doesn't involve dogs or weird bird sounds for a start.

I have been waiting, for (yeah I know, I'm gunna use THA word here) LIKE, 3 months to get in contact with a certain car trimmer.

Why?

Do you own a HSV? Or have YOU ever driven one?

Well here's the rub.

The steering wheel you are massaging every time you turned the key was crafted by the guy I'm about to meet in the AM of 22/01/2025.

Yep. I'm about to have my Turd (TRD Aurion, for those of you not playing along at home) steering wheel re-trimmed by the exact same guy that did it back in the day, period circa 2006 - 2007 in my case example.

Yep.

One Mad Man makes it Happen... AGAIN... oooh scarey...:birds

My new boss has at least as many as I do. I'm SO thank full for that.

To many people with to few brain cells.. for my liking, in my every day chores.


And as a kicker, he tells me I have Wednesday off work, as it's super quiet.

Hell Yeah!

Now instead of rocking up on a motorsport LEGEND (behind the scenes mind you), I am about to actually (fuggin hate that word "actually") spend some time talking the talk speaking with a guy that possibly created sum ting other than your 1st born that you are / were happy to hold...

Hmmm deep...

Bring it on.
