6-25am, and the temp is 25C with 96% humidity
Ok... I have to ask because I'm insanely curious about random pieces of information. What is a Hurst shifter (obviously, it's a gearbox), and why is it special?
I wish the weather in Perth would make its mind up. It's blowy and overcast, but I'm not convinced it's going to rain at all.
A Hurst shifter is the gearstick you use to change gears in the gearbox.
It has the odd thing that instead of pressing a button to change, you have to push down on the gear knob in order to change from drive to reverse or park (it's an automatic shifter).
This one seems a bit touchy - sometimes it takes 2 or 3 goes to change. It should be a bit lighter on the touch, but I had immense issues with it during my practice today. I actually held up traffic for a while
I kinda wish it would rain here... then at least there'd be a reason for all this humidity!
I'm leaving the YWCA lodge tomorrow, and moving onto the boat with my man for the next few days
No doubt I will end up working.... cleaning and sorting paperwork etc
.... Couldn't decide between one or the other, soo, decided Gil was right ..... both please kind sir.....
Got my internet back!!
Got flattened by the end of winter lurgy, went to the coast to get some salt air and warmth. Went to Eden. What a pretty spot.
Daughter turned 18. Where did those years go?
WQ, I hope you're havin a ball in your Jag. Or on board ship, whichever your in. I hope your daughter and granddaughter are continuing to thrive and no1 son is recovering nicely.
Gil and Bandit, has the bloody lurgy finally nicked off? Gil seemed to have it for a very long time. The weather has turned for the better, at least.
Mr Elf, has worked settled down? Or are the hatchet man and women still lurking the corridors?
You're right about the Chrissy stuff in shops already! Holy Cow! Got a Chrissy catalogue last week. It's mulch!!!! Maybe those curbside collections are a jump on the Chrissy shop displays. You know.. ' for the man who has everything, a spare chair leg'. My first room in my first share flat was entirely furnished from the curbside. Some of it was pretty good. I got the bed from one bloke who came out while we were going through his collection. When he spoke to us he went inside and brought this entire bed out. Thought it was too good to sit on the curb.
Was looking at past posts and see you were offering me a reward....
AFL Grand Final Saturday!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Swannies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know Hawkes are faves but the Swannies have a knack of finding some extra. Hope they can on Sat. Best game I've ever been to was Hawkes/Swans as SCG in around 88. Sooo close. You could tell who was ahead by who was standin on their seats. Mixed seating with fans mixed together. No malice at all, just appreciation of a fantastic game. Even afterward there was banter no fighting. Love the game and the fans.
NRL Grand final Sunday. Think I'll back the Storm. Everyone here is wearing Blue and White.
Ok! I've seen one of those before! Never driven one though.
And it rained. Heavily. I had both boys ring me from school and try to bludge a lift home. Good luck with that, boys!
pisses me right off.
Well, I'm on the Bella Isha. It's an ex-fishing boat that has been refurbished to be a work boat (crew transfers, etc).
It's not putrid, but does need a little cleanup. The guys didn't leave it a total mess from their last trip.
The good thing is, the biggest bunk is nice and compact... meaning I have to sleep really close to my man
.... Couldn't decide between one or the other, soo, decided Gil was right ..... both please kind sir.....

I am on a Secret Squirrel mission
Actually loving Darwin tonight!
very sweet!
So, I got spirited out to another boat last night, and on board the boys all made me an awesome dinner of vietnamese fish bites with potato slivers and a sesame salad
I toured the boat and barge (the barge had WW2 relics that had been lifted from the harbour floor - including the wing and engine of a shot down Zero fighter!) before being secretly returned to the jetty. I had to walk a ways to get back to the Bella Isha, but the temp at midnight was lovely.
And get this.... because it was all covert, the boys back in the duck pond (where the boats lay over) were worried when I hadn't come back by about 11pm - they all thought I was going to dinner at the yacht club - and rang the man to get my phone number to check up on me and make sure I was ok
I've woken up this morning to find that the boys have left me a massive mud crab in a foam cooler for me to cook up for my dinner!
Son is playing next year Can't wait. He's got the build but needs more fitness. And he's goin to be about 6'3''. We've watched him through soccer. union and league. Just one more to try.
Yum
We used to tie the nippers back with string. Couldn't boil them alive though. had to euthanize them first.
We lived on seafood when i was a kid. Caught it ourselves. Was pretty good at fishing. Once. Never get to do it these days.
Have fun!
