Good night folks. We are hopeful about some rain. Depending on which weather service I listen to it is a 40% or 60% or 100% chance of rain.

Man.. I really hate running EMT conduit... Got my garage light up though! Going to pick a few more of these fixtures and try to fill out the rest of the dark spots in the garage.

First time using the T5HO bulbs, damn little things are pricey! But they put out awesome light and don't use much power.

Cheque? What's that?

I'm buggered, actually we both are buggered. Did the 11km hike in 4:25hrs - absolutely beautiful scenery. I'll post up some photos when we have some spare time ( put a couple on FB from my phone while we were walking).

Banging outa here in the morning (we're about half way up the east coast of Tassie at the moment), heading north somewheres.

An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up...



The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said,
"Things are great and I've never felt better.
I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you
think about that Doc?"




The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began to tell a
story.


"I have an older friend , much like you, who is an avid hunter and never
misses a season.

One day he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry ,
he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun.
As he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the
water's edge.




He realized he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't shoot the
magnificent creature.
Out of habit he raised his cane , aimed it at the animal as if it were his
favorite hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'.

"Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. Now, what
do you think of that ?" asked the doctor.

The 86-year-old said , "Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else
pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

The doctor replied , "My point exactly."

It all kinda smells like bubble gum.....which should really make you not want to chew bubble gum...

The stuff works beautifully though! I tackled the swirls on the hood today, which I thought would be the hardest bit to get looking good, and it cut em down to smooth with ease.

Buffers work wonders on swirls.

Slodave: You've got to take your bike/rollerblades down to the bike path at the beach. I went down there with my son to ride bikes, and it's a target-rich environment for young, healthy, fit, active women.

Pics or it didn't happen.
The daughter and I went to the range in the mountains again. They had a family roll in there with a daughter I reckon in her twenties. Holy crap I am a dirty old man

So I hear. There was no way I was going to blade down there while only having my old blades. Instant death to bearings. I also don't want to die from pedestrians that blindly cross the path in front of you. Now on a bike...

F1 this year is great fun to watch, finally the drivers get to show if they have talent and its not all about the cars. But I don't like the sound of the new cars.

Will be waiting for the fires tomorrow, sure any car that stops around the track, or in the pits there are sure to be a few fires.

And go Daniel Ricciardo, suck it up Vettel!! Just saying, but I am sure Vettel will be pretty aggressive coming through the pack tomorrow.

The bonnet that I focused on. The passenger side looked pretty rough before. It's not perfect, but it's leaps and bounds above where it was.


All the new cleaning goodies in an old Stanley tool box that suits the need quite nicely. Not pictured is a fertilizer/pesticide sprayer that I use for washing with distilled water only.

All those products to clean your car, and you use just one bar of soap to clean yourself.
