What made you feel good today?

[Scruba]

Picked up 3 spare/replacement bumpers for my AU Fairmont.

Now question, does the series 1 Fairmont rear bar fit the series 2 Fairmont?

Hi guys,
well after being out of work when covid hit and after being a professional driver for 30 years you would think i would be able to get another drivers job? but that wasn't the case.

So i took a cleaners job at a High School which isnt that bad. Any way as i start at 2pm i was walking thru the School yard and its lunch time and in front of my foot is some money $20.00.

There was five girls standing near by and i asked these girls if they lost money?. yes the whole 5 of them said "yes they have lost some money'.

I asked them to check there wallets and tell me how much they have lost. the first 4 girls gave me the wrong answers but the fifth girl told me she lost $20.00 dollars.

I handed her the $20.00 back and she said thank you.
I could have walked off with that money but i didnt and i made some body's day a little happier at the same time.

Yesterday i surprised my son. So, his mum had the rule he isnt allowed a mobile phone untill next year.
I broke that rule, but only because i was given a stupid cheap offer on a new phone and a good deal on a second month to month plan. So i led my kid on a bit, telling him i got a new phone and a second plan. He was a bit sus as to why i got a second phone and plan yet was sticking with my old phone (its not old) and plan. What had previously been discussed was he would probably end up with a clapped out hand me down phone and probably on pre paid. So he was extatic when i gave him the brand new phone. I did lay down the ground rules, and he knows i can monitor his usage, pause his plan, change it, cancel it whenever if i see fit. The only 3 reasons the box was opened was because it takes time to activate a sim card, put some charge into the battery and fit a screen protector and back case. So the setup was just add his google account and it was good to go.
The main reasons i went with the plan i did was its a month to month so not contracted, it was discounted, unlimited calls and texts, and if he runs over his data, it wont charge $x for overusage it just slows the speed down. So he cannot run up a bill past the plan cost. Because the deals were take it now, i did. I could have waited to gift the thing, and even though its not the top teir phone, in 6 months time it wont be the current model. But my kid was 100% in the dark on this, and it was way better then he was expecting. To say he was happy is an absolute understatement.

Nothing!.....so I went back to bed!....


Cheers Billy.

Realising what a legend i am, it really does feel good too!...lol.
Oh, I'm only joking!
It was really the 20mg Oxycontin, and my Pristiq tablet!


Cheers Billy.....

I live in a little Tasmanian country town . In that town (St Marys) we have a few crazy car nuts . Fourteen years ago one of those car nuts thought we might try to organise a bit of a car meet on Faulkners Green right opposite the iconic StMarys Pub . About 15 cars turned up . In 2019 that had stretched out to well over 300 cars coming from around the state and even a few from interstate for the June Long weekend show . This despite the doomsdayers saying a car show in winter would never work .
Last year saw no show due to a certain little pandemic but the intrepid committee were still going strong . The battle this year was some dreadful rain and wind event predictions but despite that yesterday saw a really good turnout and Shannons sponsors and other major sponsors were over the moon with the day .

Some beaut cars from all over still made it here in good numbers , around 140 or so and the little town buzzed with happy visitors . It was great to see and certainly made me feel good . A well known car You Tuber was out and about once again so it'll be good to see who he snaffled for his interviews for this years video when it appears . Here's what he did in 2019.

Thats the main reason i like month to month plans. You're not stuck with them for 12/24 months if circumstances/needs change. You can move up or down whenever, or do what i did for myself and go with a better deal if one comes up. Sort of the same reason i buy phones outright. I dont need the latest phone every 12 months. I buy one and run it into the ground every 5 or so years. So it works out better for me.

Yeah I suppose month to month is OKPersonally I have better things to do with my time than trying to find a plan that saves me a dollar,then trying to remember to renew or change plans again next month.

Its not change every month. It stays the same if you dont change it. If you pay the bill it all remains the same for aslong as you keep paying every month. All it means is you arent stuck for a contracted period if you choose for whatever reason you feel the need to change something. I happily was on the same plan for 3 years but then decided to see what theyd do for me. And that was what, when they threw offers at me, ended up with my kid getting his 1st phone.

McGarrett.....TV show Hawaii 50....he was a detective, Australians called 50 bucks a McGarrett

20 bucks was a Redback, or Lobster

100 bucks was a Grey Nurse



Cheers King Billy

[Tassie f100]

$20 Crayfish $100 Grey nurse

[FTE217]

I watched Hawaii 50 with a passion and have never heard of a mcgarrett for our $50.
Weird.
Red Back, grey nurse yes - how did we come to call the 50buck with a yanky show actor ? last thing I would have thought we would do back then and not something aussie related.
No big deal just thought to post about it.

[Citroënbender]

What about an avocado?

I suppose its a bit like Knightrider, when David Hasselhoff come to Sydney he couldn't believe the kids wearing "don't hassle the hoff" T-shirts, lol, it blew him away apparently.
The original Hawaii 50 was nothing like the new version, its always a been a McGarrett to my Sydney mates, always!

Book im Danno!...always remember that!

At 7:30 tonight, I’m putting the water back on my interminable plumbing job. If it doesn’t weep or drip, James Brown will have nothing on me.

Last month I drove down to my cousins farm 300kays away to help him with seeding.
He just sent me a pic of the oats I put in just germinated. Made feel real good, all that work.


Just need some follow up rain. Now I sound like a farmer too.

[Citroënbender]

Were they wild?

It must be a good feeling, glad the crop has got up.

I have been bogged down in traffic the last week. I jump into the left lane because even if it is slower, it is easier and often quicker.

Well there was a Holden Sandman with the proper paint job in the right lane and just enough of a gap to hear a genuine Aussie V8

Receiving heaps of “ Feliz Día del Padre” texts from local Ticos & Ticas this morning!
(Father’s day here)
One I have to share from my Tico builder mate…
“Mi Amigo ...Féliz día del padre ..te aprecio mucho y te veo como mi padre bendiciones ....espero y la pases bien..”
Translates to:
My Friend ... Happy Father's Day ... I appreciate you very much and I see you as my father, blessings ... I hope you have a good time ...

[Citroënbender]

That’s really nice, quite touching.
