Sydney prices today range from $1.33 to $1.37/L for 81RON
They'll fluctuate quite a bit during the week depending upon demand.
Our fuel price don't move that often, normally they'll just slowly rise over time.

The girl on my senior project team rode a Honda 70 to the hangar today. Said it was her dad's and not been used in a while. She is having issues with the engine dying. I said that it sounded like a dity fuel tank / clogged fuel filter or else clogged carburetor jets. She thinks that the carb was rebuilt before her dad turned it over to her. It seemed to run fine today.



Here is the other member of the team going for a ride on it. He rides unicycles and plays unicycle basketball. He also juggles and can juggle while riding a unicycle. He also rides off road on his unicycle. I am still in awe of his coordination.

I don't want to mess around with scooters, though. I would rather go straight to one of these.

My parents were pretty permissive when it came to movies that they liked that had some adult parts in them like Caddyshack, Used Cars, and others. If they had liked The Wall I probably could have seen it at 14. I am sure they would not like it. I think they were more permissive because I was always well-behaved at school and in public so they didn't see any bad influence. I long ago rejected that sort of debauchery.

I agree. The fact that she likes cars and bikes is the biggest turn-on.

Gig dead. Shopping for drummer. Suddenly decides after two months he wants to be in a sream-o band and really only wants to be a garage band. His call. His loss.
