Well, the vegies seem to be ticking over nicely now.
We've got a long weekend this weekend which is the last one before Xmas, so I gave 'em a bit of attention after the unwanted invasion last week by the rouge fcuken Bandicoot. 

Everything in the patch is thriving now except for the strawberries that didn't even make an appearance.
Doesn't matter.

Those fcuken tomato plants are cantankerous fcukas, but I reckon that they're settled down now.
The fcuken Beetroot plants are touchy fcukas as well but they seem to be holding their own, and the bloody Spinach plants can go fcuk 'emselves.
WOFTAM - Waste 'O Fcuken Time And Money.

So, it'll be Beans, Corn, Cucumber, Pumpkin, Water Melons, Carrots, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Capsicum and Egg Plant and if there's a fcuken Bandicoot within Cooee, it'll be fcuken war with hell to pay.

got any old stock Honda seeds?grow some brand new old bikes!

[mick7504]

I made some bench space in the shed today Dave.
There's that much 750 stuff there that I'm gunna have to build some more racks.

The workshop floor got hosed out which made some room to get the Quad Runner out and do some circle work in the back paddock and hook it up on 2 wheels sideways for a bit.

Then the 10yo daughter decided that it was her turn and nearly ran Charlie over.
He loves chasing that bike around.
He can do 35 clicks flat out, but I reckon that he'll wear his foreskin off from hootin' through the long grass. 

[petercb750]

Haha, charlie at 35k.......those little legs would be pumpin!
Surely he can outrun a bandicoot.....

[mick7504]

The missus gets up me Pete when I take Charlie out bush.
She reckons that he might have a heart attack from being a Formula 1 Sausage Dog.

He just loves it so much.
Those little legs valve bounce when he's on a mission.

Got a job 3 months or so ago. Made the position for me. Was the first job I've had in years that I actually LIKED.

Recently I was told I was going to be made an inspector, basically to replace an incompetent fool they were firing and also to save my job as work was soon going to dwindle a bit. Great, I thought. No prob.

Friday of that week my boss walks in and says that due to some contracts on pause he's gotta let me go.

I don't think I can swear on this forum, but you can imagine my feeling. Friggin pissed.

Unemployment ain't worth a crap, and most of the jobs around here are service industry BS that pay next to nothing. More worth it to just not work so I don't have to pay child care.

The whole thing just F&%$in' sucks d&%k.

[martin99]

That sucks Ravie. I just got told today that my post is being downgraded, meaning I'm set to take a drop of £6K GBP (around $10K US) a year. My salary is protected for three years, but I've got seven to go before I can retire. So that last four years is gonna be bleak, and as my pension will be calculated on the best of my last three years it's a double kick in the nuts.
Unlike you, I have no problem swearing on this forum, especially when I'm this fukcen pissed off

[Terry in Australia]

Well my Gumtree experiences have pissed me off this week. First that drongo had me sitting around on my arse all Saturday waiting for his call so I could pick up the old welder. (he finally called late on Saturday night so I ignored the fcuker and he can jam his old welder up his arse)

Then I got carried away in a bidding war on eBay for a nice old Peerless (predecessor of Champion) all Aussie built welder and I bid about 50 bucks too much for and won, (fcuk it) then found an even nicer one on eBay in Fcuking Sydney that I want more, but due to it's weight, the freight cost is gonna be twice what I pay for the welder!

And the whole thing is Dave's fcuking fault anyway, because I sold my Champion welder many years ago because I bought a Mig which sh1t all over fcuking stick welders any fcuking way!

Oh, and the bloke I was going to buy the fender off to fix my son's Ford Exploder got back to me and told me he had an offer for the whole car, so he'd have to renege on our deal? Fcuk me, I'm gonna end up with two very expensive stick welders that I don't need, and no fcuking fender that I do need?

And I still don't know when/if I'm going to Darwin? I think I'll grab my old slug gun and do a massacre to calm me down..........

[dave500]

bummer on the welder terry,maybe go to coles and buy some sparklers and pretend?the bloke who gave me the welding helmet has an old aussie aston stick welder,he said he should donate it to a museum,your starting one aren't you terry?

[trueblue]

Our pooch, George, pissed off a bee this morning, he soon found out that is something you shouldn't do.  This photo was taken after the swelling had started to abate a little. 

[petercb750]

Poor little fella!

[trueblue]

I'm glad he didn't have any major reacton to it.  Every time we take him to the vets he gets me in trouble because of all the female attention he attracts.  I only wish I had him back when I was single .

[nccb]

haha.  My dog snapped at a yellow jacket and it stung him on the lip.  Looked like a golf ball was pressed under his top lip.

[Frostyboy]

Every picture blah blah blah.......

[mick7504]

Every picture blah blah blah.......

Happy Pills + Pissed Off Pills + Viagra = Cruisin' around with a Mongrol on and happily pissin' everyone off.
I like it. 

[mick7504]

Well, it's been another hectic week at work this week with the usual head fcuks - SNAFU (Situation Normal, All Fcuked Up)
But ya do get used to it and roll with the punches.

The bloody phones were going berserk, and every fcuken call was an insignificant fcuken question including one from one of the boys who wanted to know where to get some fcuken Methanal from because he wants to race this weekend and the fcuken Shell depot has run out.
I told him to ring his Mum and ask her.
That pissed him off. 

Then the family Doc (Dr Mike) rang and left a message on the mobile phone. (Cell)
He said that we need to talk face to face, so I started thinking that this could be serious, because I'd just recently had to get a turd sample analysed for the ol' Prostate test as a matter of course which you do as the years kick on.
I hate sh1ttin in those plastic containers, because no matter how careful you are, you always miss the fcuka. 

Anyway, I rocked around to his joint this morning and asked him what the problem was, besides sex and finance.

So he took me out to his garage and showed me his 2 new aquisitions.
A BMW and a Ducati Monster with Learner Plates on 'em.

Well what's the fcuken problem Mike?
Story is that the BM has got better brakes than the Duke and he's a bit worried about it because his daughter is learning to ride.

No worries, chuck us the keys and a skid lid and I'll take the fcuka for a fang.
Well, I hooted the Duke into the first corner and it sounded and felt like there was a bowl of Kellogs Corn Flakes in the front hub.
So when I got back, we lifted the front up with an engine crane and the fcuken front wheel bearings were as dry as an Afghans underpants and rooted.

So Dr Mike owes me some good drugs next time the back's fcuked, and me freckle will live to see another day. 

[trueblue]

I had one of those weeks too, topped off by my back flaring up again.  I can barely move, it sucks big time.  Last time it flared up I could barely move for nearly 3 months.  It just pisses me off big time.  I went to have accupuncture done on it yesterday, but there's not much he can do until the swelling in the disc goes down.  I hate being basically bed ridden, it sucks big time.  Hopefully I can get on top of it quickly.

[mick7504]

I #$%*ed my back a few months ago mate.
Dr Mike gave me these Lyrica lads and some other painkillers that start with T but I can't remember the name now.

These Lyricas are like an Acid trip and I told him to stick 'em.
The fcuken curtains in the lounge room were moving with all of the doors shut and Tony Abbot looked like Hollyrock on the tele.
That worried me. 

They would be a good drink spike for some #$%* who's misbehaving at the pub.

[trueblue]

Last round the doc gave me Endone to take, now that stuff knocks your socks off.  I took some as we left the chemist, thankfully the missus was driving, cause by the time we got home I could barely walk.  I went arse up as I tried to get out of the car, then the missus helped me to bed.  I don't remember a damn thing for a few hours after that and woke up with a hangover from hell.  I don't take that #$%* unless I'm really desperate now.

Hope it comes good for you soon mate. Take care.

Bloody Hell! Mick & Andrew, you can add me to the list. They say it's a sign of aging that we start to discuss our health issues. I had a coupla weeks off not being able to walk because of an attack of bursitis in my right hip. It pisses me off cos I hurt it at work ages ago & it's flared up again. I never did fill out an incident report so can't get compo. I got my first ever cortisone injection & I've gone back to work. About a 95% recovery I reckon.
Andrew, when you're crawling around on the floor up there, tell if you find a black Leonard Cohen tshirt. I've been searching for it for a coupla years now & wondered if I left it up there with Godzilla. Cheers mates, get well soon. Try staying of those drugs, they sound bloody awful. 

[mick7504]

Yeah, take good care of yourself mate.
A fcuked back is bullsh1t because it affects your whole life and that's not how it's suppose to be.

You'll only get one go at it mate, and if that means changing your lifestyle, then do it mate.
40 fcuken years ago, it started giving me curry, and it pisses me not being able to do what I could.
But that's just how it is.

Honestly mate, don't fcuk around with the back pain.
Minimise it, and enjoy your life without it.
You're the boss bro.

Thanks Owen, I'm getting by so far with panadine and ibuprofen.  I don't like using anything stronger.  My back brace and inversion table are keeping me moving sort of.  I just have to take it easy for a while.  In regards to your shirt, I haven't seen a stray shirt.  We have moved house since you were up here and it never turned up.

Mick, my missus is up my ribs to find a different job, only problem is I have done nothing other than swing on spanners since I left school.  Other than farming, I know nothing else, and farming pays even less than mechanicing and is harder on your body. 

[ken65]

Chin up fellas, i'm about 10 or 11 days into my latest bad back thing, but its not as bad as usual. I don't even know how it happened and that cheeses me off. I only got my cb registered about a month ago and its just sitting there wondering why we're stuck at home..

[mick7504]

Mate, I was in the motor trade for 39 years and 26 of those was running my own business
I'd had an absolute gutfull towards the end, to the point where I felt like I was in jail.
But  I kept at it because of the negative thinking that I couldn't get another job and that was giving me the fcuken horrors.

So, I woke up one morning, and thought, well ok,  you're still breathing son, so what the fcuk.

The word got out that I was ready to cut the rope and fcuk off, and fortunately, I got a job offer that was too good to let slide with a civil and mining contracting company.
It aint no peaches and cream with what I do now, and it's a bloody good challenge which involves dealing with a lot of people. (including fcukwits)

So mate, I've always said, that the best blokes to get onboard are ex mechanics.

Blokes that have been down at the grass roots.
That's no bullsh1t mate.
