Had a few QA bottles of my case swap beer - slightly disappointing carbonation level but drinking well non-the-less. Just have to attach some labels and Roberts yer fathers brother. Hopefully the new pool table lights will be working by then - the old ones had a bit of a melt-down
I'm yet to QA the Shed Stout , but have a bottle in reserve. Will get right onto it this week.
Tonite i was supposed to go to this Parenting night for fathers at my son's christian school. My wife has been going to last few weeks each Wednesday with one of her mates whose son is in the same class. We (she) has been putting this course on hold for 18 months, but the school is reminding us that it is a condition of enrollment that we both attend. So the wives go. And the men pretend they don't exist. We have our hands over our ears making sounds like this "blah blah blah blah blah blah"
My mate Justin and I managed to use the State of Origin as an excuse not to go - twice. But tonite we had run dry of reasons not to. He emailed me this morning at work and said to pick him and his mate up at 6.45 for the 2 hour meeting at 7pm. I was a barrel of monkeys all day.
So making my way home, I got a lift to Mooloolah station - a 5 minute train ride from where I live. I often get a lift home this way and have a Coopers on the platform. It's a quiet town - so much so that you still see horse manure in the street. Really!
The 5.19pm service never came. Bugger.
5.30 came, still with no train. I'm hungry and want a beer, but have to drive. Double Bugger.
At 5.40 some 14 year old gets off the only train I have seen so far and says there is a bomb threat. and the trains are delayed.
Yeah right. As if I'd be so lucky!
Today was my day! All I had to do was fudge my arrival time by 45 minutes to make myself unavailable for tonites course. I chose to spend this time constructively by chatting to the Queensland Rail staff at the station, and have a pint. And tell then why I was not catching any of the buses they were running as the trains where stopped. I was chewing up time!
Apparently some clown called a bomb threat on the Sundowner Train when I was heading towards Glasshouse Mountains and the sniffer dogs were doing their thing.
Cool as. Needless to say I was unable to attend the parenting class and am now safely ensconced in the Man-Cave having a HB and playing Lego Indiana Jones on the Xbox 360 with the eldest son.
What a parent I am! :lol:
