Got up early (dark) with the intent of getting home in time to a) start the HLT
B) fill up a gas bottle + c) get sparkey mate to complete all wiring to new improved brewery. d) brew bitter &watch footy.
Mistake one - thought phone was in bag when I'd put it on charge last nite.
Mistake two- rang sparkey without a call back number to fit the last wiring bits in the afternoon.
Mistake three - Coronation Drive traffic heavy in the arvo so went north via Stewarthome and got stuck behind a very slow metal waste truck (20-40kpm max).
Mistake three a) almost got to Ashgrove in heavy slow traffic (still behind fu**kin truck) when gear box had enough and went bang...
no money, no cash card, & @##%$#!%^& no phone. Walked to Ashgrove. Spent a fair time
arguing with staff at westpac before I got some cash (less than I expected). Walked to 3 public phones before one would accept cash. Rang home, no one there. Rang RACQ- hour delay min.
Tow truck eventually gets there at dusk, so there is no point in going to a transmission shop so I tell the guy to go to my nearest garage. Mechs are all gone of course but can look at it on Monday, however I can walk home and get abuse by the wife since It's all my fault. She throws shit around the place and leaves in a huff.
Plus one - mate turns up with my lost Guinness bene and suggestes drinking lotsa beer and watching the Broncos. They win!
Plus two - fit an old (real old) gas bottle to patio burner for heat and it works well
Plus three - get stuck into Belgian beer cause wife's not there to stop us
*Moral: if this is what it takes for the broncos to win, sorry but I'm happy with the wooden spoon.
Yours
