It pisses me off that I've got what they tell me is benign positional vertigo. Went from a job site to hospital in an ambulance, spent Thursday night in hospital.
This morning back home I go arse over head in the driveway. No skin left on my right knee, half the skin off my left knee, right elbow & a hole in the palm of my left hand. Feckin gravel everywhere.
I've had my bike licence since I was nineteen & not a scratch. Now I can hardly stand up without falling over. Not happy Jan.
I'm not quite game to get on the bike until this is all behind me.  >:(  :-\  :o

That sounds just what I could do with Terry.  ;D
I've got a 60 Ltr tank with a 12v pump on the lad which does the job mate.
It's in one of those little gay trailers that you tow behind the ride on.  ;D

Usually it takes 3 tanks to spray the whole block and 13 stubbies but a petrol Briggs  setup on the Quad Bike should only take about a six pack.  ;D

It's bloody hard and hot work but living in suburbia would give me the horrors and piss me off I reckon.  ;D

Slowly it's getting crowded in around here and the days of jumping onto a dirt bike with a .22 slung over your shoulder are well and truly gone.

I just remembered what we used to call our "Dirt Bike Group"
The fcuken Swamp Monsters.  ;D  ;D

Pisses me off that we're not still a bunch of mad young kunts anymore.  ;D

If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

That's not good Owen, if I was you I would steer clear of the bike for a while.  Take care mate ;D

No worries mate.  It was a hectic few weeks around here leading up to the wedding.  I can say for certain that I'm glad it is now over with.  ;D

Thanx Mick, it seems the pills they gave me are starting to kick in. Not much spinning now, just a big limp. Back to the tele now to watch Motogp quali.

Hey Owen, is that one of those "Inner Ear" deals? I worked with a bloke in the Army many years ago who had it, he used to fall over all the time, and they eventually medically discharged him. Did they say what caused it? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

No worries mate, the engine runs really nicely (I reckon it idles at around 300 RPM, just goes "bop bop bop bop bop") but I think the pump might need a reco, and the 100 feet of hose was knackered, so it went in the wheely bin. It's on a sort of a trolley with a couple of big wheelbarrow wheels, but I reckon you could mount it on your quad, or tow it behind? I'll take a pic later when the sun comes out. Cheers, Terry. ;D

Well if it doesn't rain soon so that I can chuck a flame in the palm front pile, I'm just gonna have to have another cold beer.  ;D

Geez it's bloody mongrel hot down in the back paddock.
This morning started off with a Chesty Bonds singlet on and now a blokes got Wharfies shoulders.  ;D

We had a few big spots of rain drop out of the sky about midday and then the rain buggered off.
It shouldn't be too far off now but I'm

Hey thanks Mick, I'm on the mend for sure, these pills seem to be keeping the vertigo away.

Hey Owen, is that one of those "Inner Ear" deals? I worked with a bloke in the Army many years ago who had it, he used to fall over all the time, and they eventually medically discharged him. Did they say what caused it? Cheers, Terry. ;D
Yeah Terry, inner ear thing for sure. They tell me it's actually a virus, I've been working the Ipswich area for a few weeks now, maybe there's nasties out there that I don't know about. The pills they prescribed me has a warning on the box that they increase the effects of alcohol, so I guess I won't hafta drink as much rum.  ::)

It's getting to that time of the year now mate.
The alcohol consumption definitely increases and that's when the loose chains come out of the woodwork.

The Northern Territory Police Force regularly update their Facebook page and it's clear to see the increase in alcohol related BS that the fellas have to deal with.

A couple of asylum seekers escaped from the detention centre last night and if they reckon that being on the run out in the bush at this time of the year rather than being in their airconed "motel room" is better, then good luck to 'em.  ;D

A coupla days in the can out at Berrimah when the boys round 'em up should piss 'em off very nicely.  ;D

See how she looks mate.
I've bought a bit of gear from these fellas before and they have pumps as well if the old one is too buggered.

I see that they've got those  flame guns available as well.
I want one right now.  ;D

Fark! I forgot to take a pic mate! Sorry, I'm off to East Sale again first up tomorrow morning and I'll need to move the 'Wang to get a pic of it, can it wait until next weekend? Sorry mate, I don't mean to piss you off.

Hey my Dad has a wicked weed burner, he bought it in the 1970's and it runs on pressurised Kero. He scared the schidt out of himself when he burned the trellis down and destroyed his grapevines, so it went into the shed, but it's still there, I saw it a few weeks ago, along with the Chrysler 4 HP outboard he bought to put on our boat that my Grand Dad built.

They hated each other and Grand Dad shamed him into buying the outboard by building mum the boat, so he bought the motor new from Arthur Blay's in Bairnsdale, then we went up the Mitchell River one way for about 20 minutes, and 20 minutes back, then it went into the shed, and it's been there for the last 43 years.............. ;D

She's right mate, no hurry.
There's always something happening around this joint to stay out of trouble.

The brother in law arrives here in a couple of weeks from Berlin for a bit of a holiday and my bro is due up here from Adelaide for work again soon, so we're gonna be flat out for a while tearin' the tops off of stubbies.  ;D

I should give 'em a crash course in using the ride on mower and collecting palm fronds while they're here.
That'll piss 'em off.  ;D

What's wrong with Chryslers Dave, no good? I do remember that it started very nicely that one time we used it, but at it's current rate of use I reckon it's good for another 500 years or so? ;D

swap it for some decent oars,or use the engine and be sure to take decent oars with you.
