I remember getting paid, that was nice.
Nice and hot up in Toc, up to 38 in the arvo but cools down over night so mornings is the time to get work done.
up just after 6am this morning, 5.6km walk in 50 minutes, breakfast, decided to skip the shower until later and get to work.
Mowed the back lawn. It's so thick and spongy that the big, heavy self propelled mower just does burnouts on it so have to push hard and rock the bastard till the wheels grab. That got a nice sweat up, then went to work on pulling apart the carport in preparation for when the shed blok is ready to build.
Up the 3m ladder, iron roof ripped off, timber beams all down and the steel posts that were concreted in are ripped out. Done by 12:30 before it started getting really hot.
Shower, throw all the sweat soaked clothes in the washing machine and walk to the pub for Barra, chips and salad and a couple of pints, then home to relax.
Spent a couple of hours out the front under the Oak tree, just a bit of south westerly breeze, few drinks while reading a book.
My shoulders are killing me and my calves are cramping but happy as a pig in sh1t

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

It was.
Back to Melbourne yesterday, got to work on the remodelled spare/grandsons bedroom.
Managed to pull all the pieces of the 25 year old Study Bunk that used to be my daughters, out of where they were hiding in the shed.
Found everything except the bolts, unsurprising since I pulled it apart and stored it probably 17 years ago.
Bunnings run to get new bolts, called into fantastic Furniture on the way home and got a spring mattress for $100.
Scrubbed the grime off all the pieces, some I needed to hit with the brass wheel in the drill to take off flaked paint and rust, touch up with some spray paint where required and assembled it. Just like a bought one
Parts of it are a little rough still but CBF spending all the effort on the extra 3%.
Tomorrow buy a single Doona and a chair for the desk and she'll be all set to go for next time he comes over.

A long long long overdue pay rise finally being approved. Should be a very nice bonus with a fair bit of back pay and a change to the structure which will see me move up a level or 3!!!
Should have had it months ago if not for a union taking them to court to block it. The union wasn’t representing its members affected by this agreement in fighting it, but other members they represent whilst convincing their affected members they were doing it for them

New bargaining agreement, so everyone gets one, so there is no real opportunity to get more than the position is advertised for other than doing overtime. But we get a pay rise every year and also if you aren't incompetent you go up a pay point every year as well.
But we are severely hampered by higher forces which put a very small cap on any pay rises, so the way they got around it was to decrease pay points and therefore you effectively jump 2 pay points a year + the pay rise every year.
Part of the reason the unions attempts to stop it last year failed was the judge said we were long overdue, and they weren't going to grant the injunction.

Nice work Eddie.
Today startred out like a cnut. 8am Dentist appt.
Got my XR6 back off my son just before Xmas. Looked like a bag of shit. 3 of the nice 20" black wheels were in the boot, 1 was broken, and the pieces of crap that were on it made my heart break looking at it.
Can spent the week in the Ford garage getting back to something resembling safe to drive. $6k later, it was. So this morning the plan was to drive it to the dentist then to the Mag wheel place in preston to get some new shoes. Get out of the driveway at 7:45, somethings wrong. Car driving badly. Pulled over, rear tyre is flat as a tack. FMD. Nursed it to the servo 100m away to see if I could put some air in it, air hose thing broken.
Rang the dentist, said I'd be late, pulled the jack and a spare out of the boot and cursing and swearing to the amusement of some passers by, changed the fkn tyre and went to the dentist.
After that I was over it so headed to Preston and walked into the joint carrying one of the old 20" wheels and asked could I get at least 1, maybe 2 of these. Bloke checked it out, went online, rang someone and set her could get me 2 for $450 each, just rims. Same pattern and design but mine were 20x8" and these were 20x8.5 so wasn't going to be the best outcome, plus I'd need to pay for tyres as well. So I said to him, "what's the best deal you can do me on 4 new wheels and tyres?"
He went out and looked at the car, came inside and pulled a 20" black rim off a rack and said 4 of these, with tyres, fitted and balanced, $2250.
Sold, just fkn do it. Walked to Norfland for breakfast while they did it, then went I got home gave the old girl a wash and wax. I'm planning on selling the Redline as I need cash, but with the XR6 looking good and driving well again, I'm happy.
