Evening Jeff,
Yeah I don't know how I do it either, now just imagine doing that job, then taking a little break like a cup of coffee or something then grabbing another vehicle and going right back at it, wash rinse repeat for a couple of decades, and you will understand why I say I am burnt the hell out. But I do have some very strong hands because of it.

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 03:34 AM

My hands are bruised, and triceps are sore. I nearly feel like having a rest day then getting back into the weights. It's bringing back memories of my gym junkie 20s.

I suppose when you do something all the time its just second nature. I often get lots of oohs and aahs, and how the fcuk did you do that, when I'm hand soldering them tiny components.

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 03:37 AM

Word of advice, if you ever piss off a mechanic try your level best to not let him get his hands you ya, just thing bear trap, we are only afraid of brick masons.

Now when you start doing all them micro soldering and such I just sit back and go "dayum, how the hell do you do that"
Different skill sets are always amazing to people who don't have them

Me helicoptering Sharyn from the end of the bed has yet to amaze her. Don't know why? She doesn't have the skills for it...ya think it would amaze her? I mustn't give up. One day I shall succeed!

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 03:50 AM

Sharyn has gotten like Beth, they are used to our super skilz and have become immune to their power and draw,

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 03:54 AM

Everyone here got a good giggle from that one.

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 03:59 AM

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 04:05 AM

Ordered a beardski mask and new goggles for the August blokes ski trip

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 04:28 AM

Skiing in August just sounds all kind of messed up, thats the hottest month here, I love August

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 04:48 AM

It's gunna be during peak season (and I'll be celebrating No. 49 on the Friday while there)

I've also ordered some thermal grundies. Its gunna be bloody cold for us folks

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 04:51 AM

I don't have any trouble with the time zones, and I get it is tonight there, it doesn't phase me but the switch of the seasons just freaks me out

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 04:55 AM

Time your travelling right and it could be summer all the time ��

Jim Richards · 05-31-2015, 04:59 AM

But, if you get it wrong...

all the time.

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 05:05 AM

Jim,
STOP THAT!!!

Jim Richards · 05-31-2015, 05:06 AM

Morning Rick. Apologies for that blasphemy!

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 05:08 AM

Morning Jim,
Yeah I am sitting outside in shorts having a cup of coffee and you just made me shiver. I so hate snow and cold

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 05:18 AM

Morning Jim

I get to see that stuff so rarely I love it for the novelty factor. Probably glad I don't live in it though, three months of cold/cool nights and a couple of cold days is more than enough.

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 05:20 AM

A couple of guys on the trip have never seen snow.

Outback Porsche · 05-31-2015, 05:34 AM

Today's motogp is pretty exciting with 5 laps to go.

Rick V · 05-31-2015, 05:40 AM

I work with a couple of guys from Honduras and when it snowed this winter they were rolling around it in, having a blast.
They even decided to try and start a snowball fight with me, they learned, the hard way, I may hate snow but I do know how to throw a mean snowball and I have a decent curveball that will delete hiding spaces.
