    I used to do everything on my vehicles,  but do very little now.

    Why did you replace the brake fluid? Never done that before,  obviously bled them after doing the disks and pads.

     

    Brake fluid is ( I think the term is hydoscopic) it absorbs moisture and degrades after time you don't notice the pedal getting spongy

    Can't believe she's changed into such a bitch in just a few years. 

    My soon to be ex changed a lot in the last year we were together, long plan to suck as much cash of mine in to her thai accounts and assets

    When we split I found out about some of it and said fine I want your thai house ( 2m bt just finished) the rubber plantation the family land left to you and all the land you have notes on valued plus the 1m bt I loaned you.  There was silence then historical screaming  then I will tell the judge you paid for sfa here in nz except your food

    I remember the upstairs at Pumpstation. Dingy cut out cubicals along a bar and a porno showing on an old TV. I often wondered if the girl of choice bent down to give a BJ but replaced by someone or something else 😁

    But what stuck in my mind was the sound of spitting into a bucket straight after the load was shot 

    Ahhhh, those were the days. Call me an old old romantic if you wish

    Justice upstairs in King Kong. Dingy and seedy, but fun. That said there were a few occasions where I never bothered going upstairs and settled for 2 girls on their knees while sipping my beer at the bar  

    You romantic old devil 😈

    Just as I was reading this I had a call from my 93yo mother....she didn't mean to call me but she gets the phone handset mixed up with the TV remote control.I just spent about 15mins trying to explain the difference & she ended up with a fit of the giggles,which was better than the tears she is usually in.

    Not sure how much longer she can stay at home,she's physically very fit for her age but has zero short term memory and is only going to get worse.

     

    It's actually those crazy things that you remember for many years after 

    Mum had been bedridden for a couple of years and dad looked after her with minimal outside help last 2 weeks she had to go in to a home Mrs and I were visiting and mum kept on insisting that we move in because "you know your father can't cope on his own " dad had been doing everything cooked cleaning running mum in to the city for medical appointments just getting her out to the car at 90 was not a easy job

    Cyclone Gabrielle has apparently caused havoc in New Zealand - Stickman has a short account of what's been happening in his own area of NZ over the last few days instead of his usual weekly report. 

    Yes some areas are expected to be cut off for about a month like the east cape there is only one road around the coast inland is rugged very steep hills that is marginal sheep country  

    Hawks bay just south of there huge horticultural area and the slash from the forestry up in the hills washed down took out bridges and whole orchards 

  7. I have recently received a new nickname " papie" I got it from a new adult apprentice he's a rarotongan in his 40s and a well know ex production supervisor 

    The whole site would hear him call " hey papie come up to the bsb we got fires ( his slang for brakedowns) now many of production call for papie when they want me ( only the two of us on maintenance )
