What made you happy today? Part II

[think positive]

[quote="eddiesmith"]Had a very lucky escape today that could have been quite expensive!

One of the local roads that changes speed limits every few kms for no reason is regularly patrolled by the hwp. Used to be 70 and VicRoads many years ago suggested it should go back to 70 but too much revenue raising is done there. No one does 60, unless you’re trying to piss off the person behind you.

Anyway cops were back there today, must be back in the blitz as they do a month of blitzing then 6 months of rarely being seen again. Now instead of the obvious spot in an old bus stop they hide in the shadows of someone’s driveway. Came down, saw them too late and slowed down but didn’t brake and went past them at over the limit still and they didn’t move!!!

Great win as i was also outside my 5ks and wasn’t out for one of the 4 permitted reasons so I saved about $2000!

My favourite on that stretch was one night no one else on the road and someone was doing 50, so broken lines, nothing coming I overtook them, ended up doing 100 side by side with them because they didn’t like being overtaken...

Actually had someone who used to be on this board try dobbing me in to Centrelink once

I hate pricks like that, I see them on the drive up here, sitting 5km under the limit but speeding up when they get to overtaking lanes. Lucky for me the Redline can go from 100 to 130kmph in the blink of an eye so I'm past before they realise WTF happened.

Bacon, Lettuce, Egg, Avocado and Tomato toasted sandwich for breakfast with a cup of tea and a small glass of orange juice. Weight staying solid on the 90kg, I can afford to treat myself sometimes.

^ that’s good, well done.

Rode to Frankston yesterday (a bit tired because I finished work late on Saturday night so only had about 4.5 hours sleep) 86 km in total with Olivers Hill. Rode with a group who were not particularly fast so the riding was easy. Did 63km’s an hour down Olivers Hill

Did a slight re-jig of the home office today.

Using the PC with two monitors worked before, but the current place means I need to use the laptop for more things and it drives me nuts trying to work off a laptop.

I tried to get one of the monitors to do duel function, switching between HDMI 1 and 2 so I could toggle between the PC and Laptop but no dice, it wouldn't recognise it.

So I rigged up a 3rd monitor. I already had the laptop on a stand using a separate wireless mouse and keyboard so now I'm driving a PC and a Laptop, 3 monitors plus the laptop screen, and 2 mouses and keyboards. Lucky I'm amphibious when using a mouse cos sometimes I'm using one in each hand at the same time.

The only thing I keep stuffing up is which keyboard to use for which monitors. I'll start typing, reaslise I'm on the wrong one, swear loudly and adjust. Do that 5-6 times per day.

I’m glad it’s not just me! I grab the wrong mouse! I’m not a laptop fan, and my touch pad has a calculator in the corner, I wish I could block it, drives me nuts

Quick bit of casual shopping, surprised the hell out of myself. Grabbed a couple of cheap muscle tops, in size large. Any wonder my 2XL's are loose.

also grabbed some exercise shorts in size Medium

Anyone ever looking for compression tights or shorts, the Aldi ones are inexpensive and have a great side pocket perfect size to slip the phone in so you can listen to music using blutooth earbuds or headphones and not have to hold the phone

That plus a beautiful day for the last day of summer

^ thanks might get some

Rode to Frankston with two others. One young woman hadn’t done a 100 km before and while not fast she did it: Well done her for doing that and Olivers Hill: her first time.

Got to 63 km’s/ hour down hill: had to go past a rider who went a bit to close to me then slows down after overtaking
