Just found a packet of hot cross buns in the back of the freezer I forgot about. Happy days, put the kettle on.

Had a good mate come over today. He's having a few life problems so it was nice to have a beer and a chat.
What made me feel good though was jump starting his old classic Holden with my Ford. I'll be reminding him of that when he starts talking trash on Bathurst day ![]()

The other day actually......
Driving back from the bank in the Mustang, I went past a high school and had to stop at their pedestrian crossing, window down and exhaust blob, blob blobbing. Then, predictably, a boy yelled out "rev up your dad's car"...... Now, I know that was supposed to be an insult, however I took it as a compliment! I'll be 36 in December, so I'm flattered that I can still pull off the appearance of a younger man. ![]() And no, I did not rev up mine or my dad's car for them. ![]()

W126 ignition barrel. How it looked, before it seized internally:
Credit: Autohaus Arizona How it looked after seizing, and two hours with my flex-shaft Dremel and a quarter inch bullet tip die grinder bit. This was required to retract the anti-theft locking tongue that stops you unscrewing the hardened sheath: I tried a number of tricks in my arsenal before resorting to the heavy artillery. Easily the hardest lock to extract, that I’ve encountered. |

That'd make me as cranky as.
Dieting or colonoscopy?

I don't think it's either, unless you meant 'dieting' as in his normal diet. I think that is just how he goes. Something akin to the 5:2 diet, IIRC.

Got home from Brisbane where I had my 6 monthly appointment with my cardiologist.
He tells me that my ascending aortic aneurysm has not increased in size for over 12 months! |

In the local park today I saw a wallaby. There are plenty of kangaroos there but I've only seen wallabies - one or two of them - in the last couple of years.
One morning on the weekend I saw a couple of pardalotes checking out a hollow in a deceased gum tree; a grey fantail; a chat (I think that's what it was) and I could hear a golden whistler. Some of these small birds seem to hang around together. |

So my mate asked me this evening. The light in his bathroom was flickering. He bought a new lamp, but he had a lady friend with him.
So yes im the land lord. And straight up i said its a 32w circular fluoro. So his lady friend said yep that's what they got. So as not to small man my mate, i did do a sneaky. So as a sparky by trade id just turn of the light switch, but i dont like encouraging bad habbits. So i said to my mate flick the breaker. Before he could ask a question i said its labelled L1. So he still looks like the big man. So i get him to swap out the lamp and pull the starter out. Thats my sneaky. The starter crumbled. I knew that would happen, but i had a new one on me. Years of emptying pockets. So before putting the diffuser back on, it was power back on, yep she's a gooden. So me mate was the big man, however i turned. Wet and dry. You do not take the time to take a glass diffuser down without cleaning it. Thats just me. Also i bought my mum something today that i reckon she will like. |

Just got my vintage stereo back after the receiver dropped it's guts.
Hooked it all up and put an LP on to try it out, Golden Earring, Radar Love. Oh yeah, later I'll try out some AC/DC then Money by Pink Floyd. I know my neighbour likes it, he threw a brick through my window so he can hear it better.

Was yesterday but Wang to Sydney CBD. 6hrs 25mins. Considering it poured with rain from Albury, extra traffic due to train disputes and car carrier fires.

Today I got rid of a 'collection' of syringes I have picked up over the last 20 years (probably that long). There's a big, orange, rectangular steel bin outside Preston and Northcote Community Hospital (PANCH) on Bell St and I have been past it tons of times ... if only their website would say "big orange steel bin on footpath". I went there several years ago but couldn't spot it ... until you are standing right in front of it there is nothing to say what it is .................

Sometimes it's the small things that can make the difference.
Out for my run yesterday, and heading through the park which, apparently, was an early township landfill. As a result, its quite a large park. There's a concrete footpath that runs from one end to the other, and two gravel paths that loop either side of the concrete one. The rest of the park is just grass. Part way along the concrete path, I came across a bright pink bunny stuffed toy, that obviously someone had dropped, possibly a child. I initially ran past it, but part way through the rest of my run, thought better of it and changed my route on the way it was at on my way out, someone had moved the toy off the path and it was about 4m or so off the path in the grass. I picked it up, retraced my steps back to a park bench and placed the bunny conspicuously on the seat, thinking that if the owner came looking for it, the seat would be an obvious place to look. Well, when I went past that seat on my walk today, the bunny was gone. I'm hoping that the owner came back looking for it and found it, potentially reuniting it with a distressed child. It makes feel good knowing I did a kind deed where the receiver of the deed will never know who did it. As I said, sometimes it's the small things.
