Re: What made you feel good today?
 
At times i have a lot of fun looking younger then i am. Was chatting with 2 receptionists today, one i am friendly with out of work, and her releif front desk lady. The releif lady is quite pregnant. Chicks get all girly talking about kids. So when i said to the pregnant lady i have a son she asks how old? I said 10. She turns all 10 months how cute. When i said 10 years, she gave me the look, and asks how old am i. Im not mid 20s like she thought, im 33. Got a laugh from the normal receptionist, she already knew my age and always asks about my kid. But i found it a funny interaction.

Dropping an acquaintance off at the motorbike workshop where a knob who once road-raged me, works. Figured they can sort it out; I can’t be both bike-blind and pro-bike. :yelrotflm

You can tell by the sound it makes when you tap it firmly on the edge with a stick. If it makes a good “bong” then it’s a female pot.

Ive been getting mexican food quite a bit lately, mainly because mad mex and guzzies for some reason have stayed open. Not a big chilli person. Anyhow. Where i was working today, the food joint is actually still open. I think the lift company who takes up a fair bit of that business park is still open, so they get business. I like quesadillas. This place does unconventional quesadillas. The one i like is simply beef, bbq sauce and a tonne of cheese. Nothing mexican about it bar the tortia and the fact its folded and flat pressed. But brilliant none the less.

Thanks. Now I’m keen for quesadillas and I’ve only just eaten dinner.

I had a good idea that id been thinking about today. Lately theres been maintenance going on with the power grid in my area. Sometimes they let you know the powers going off, other times it just gets turned off. My thoughts were install a spitfire (emergency light) in my bathroom. Easy enough, power goes off, that light goes to battery and turns on. Nobody likes ****ting in the dark. Couldnt be bothered doing that tonight. Then silly me had another thought. Grab a spitty out of the car and just plug it into a power point. I was over thinking it too much. Power goes at 830, but LED spitfires last for, when new, a few hours. I used to keep one plugged in in the garage of the place i rented because the lighting where my bbq was was horrid. Worked a treat. Hang that bad boy over the hood of the bbq.

New decal edition on R36 for my Greyhounds! Unfortunately recently Ford never made a fast wagon (sorry but Territory SUV doesn't interest me) as I'd have bought it instead..........

I love the sound of the VR6 engine.

You know your cars ; )

Yeah the VR6 (especially with my mods) sounds fantastic I agree.

One of the biggest reasons I bought it. It's silent at idle but roars under load.

I initially wanted a SS Sportswagon when sold my BA Turbo for my dogs, but the R36 pretty much better than the SS in most ways IMO.

Remembering 25 years ago today I was at Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide watching the Melbourne Knights win their first National Soccer League championship Grand Final.

Finance approved for purchaser yesterday. (now unconditional contract)

Spent hours today boxing up small items etc.......amazing how much you don't realise you have in cabinets etc!!

Was great though and after a bad time personally I'm really excited about the future.

I sure do!

I briefly entertained the idea of a Passat V6 sedan before I chose my FG XR6.

I'm not usually a fan of V6's, especially with modded exhausts. The VR6 has wonderful off-beat note to it that I love.
