Alarm clocks are shmelly.

Alarm clocks and I never got along very well. I often sleep through them, I have a tendancy to set them way too early, and theres no such thing and a pleasant alarm tune.

This morning I discovered the worst possible alarm scenario. Its happened before but
other times it wasnt so much as a problem. I do work on peoples cars, this weeks is a smash repair
job on a jackaroo. Something weird has happened with the anti theft and it decided to go off by itself this morning at 7am. Thirty mins before my alarm. One thing I might point out here is my early morning sleep is vital, I rarely fall asleep until around 4 or 5am, I tend to lie in bed with my eyes shut as I cant turn my brain off. Anyhoo!, I woke up, sorted the alarm, decided to brush my teeth while I was up and go to bed.

I sat an lied there, in the most indecisive state of my life. Should I turn the alarm off, or am I awake enough to just chill in bed for a while. Should I check the time its going to go off any second. I basically sat there for like 25 minutes waiting for the sound of the alarm.

It couldn't have gone any worse. Curse you infernal alarm!

The Police Commisioner Bob is an asshole.

This chaps been making all kind of stupid road laws and changes in laws while Labor has been in power.

The latest is using old decrepit vans on the side of the highways (where the least fatalities occur) to make them more inconspicuous. This makes no sense, as instead of people braking for what they think might be a speed TRAP, they will be braking for anything and everything. Ahh well what can you do.




Write him an angry letter!

I'm sure if he read enough emails with a decent argument he will start to see some sort of errors in his ways, or at least have a bit more trouble sleeping. Either or works for me.

blighs end is nigh

I go through various political phases, where basically all that changes is my level of anger. Lately my angers been pretty high with all the absolute BS thats gone on in regards to climate change at the Copenhagen summet ect. With that crap cleared up and hopefully not going to rear its ugly head again any time soon, my anger was reduced.

Today I was mulling over abbotts latest and he seems to be a pretty good egg. So again, my anger for Turnbulls suicidal tactics were gone. My hopes for a coalition government were higher than ever.

Then I started to think about Anna Bligh, I pretty much hate her more than anyone. I was going over some numbers, and the Labor government that has been in control of queensland for some time now, has made an absolute abortion of the finances etc. WA and QLD are two huge mining powerhouses. This is on the basis that export is high, and income to the state through these exports is high. Now in a study recently taken, WA lead Australia in regards to finance and economy. You would assume QLD to be higher but ah well you cant win all the time. Then you keep reading, turns out QLD is almost last. Taking into account the huge gap between 1st and 2nd too.

What the hell has Beattie and Bligh done with all the flow. We have just gone down the tail end of a mining and export boom and should be in our best state yet. Yet we could no be any worse. It makes me so angry.

One positive from this is that Labors time in QLD is well and truly up. It seems more common than ever that everyone basically knows how poor of a state they have put QLD in. Bligh should have been stood down a long time ago, and its going to be a great day when her re-election is basically not going to happen. Or a labor re-election.

I seriously laughed so hard when I found that Lucas genuinely tried to turn it into a positive thing. It was one of those sad laughs though.

the humble weasel

The weasel, to me, is without a doubt, the best creature on this earth.

All the weasel family, including and not limited to, the ferret, mink, stoat, martin, the lesser weasel, arctic weasel etc.

They are just awesome.

corolla update

Exhaust has been basically finished, just have to mount some hangers after I buy some "8" rubbers tomorrow. It mounts under the diff and so fat only just reaches to just behind the diff. This is because I want to run my car and see what it sounds like without a muffler. I ran the motor in the half cut without an exhaust and it wasnt loud really at all. It would be good to get away with it.

Also have sorted out a widebody front end that needs to be finished off.
Making good progress otherwise.
