What made you feel good today?

[.:4:.]

So i will brush the circumstances off. But in the 6 or more months my brother had had his hey you ute he has been on me about it and ive always refused. Not because i dont like it, but just because its his car. So i drove it. Its since been lowered, exshausted, 17s and tyres. Its been a hot minute since ive driven a manual, but this thing is sweet. Paints shot, but thats the only detractor. The rims were my spare set. So factory ford elagance 17's. Ugly as sin in my opinion on anything but an au. But not a single mark on them, so on the au3 xl they suit it to the ground.
Im almost, not quite, but getting an appreciation to au falcons.

Yesterday helping the Police with a good description of a skanky low life I'd seen hanging around going in and out of driveways and seen heading to the traino.
They found her, searched and seized some suspected stolen property from her.
Then this morning my wife realises 2 pairs of expensive Carla Zampatti prescription sunglasses worth $750 have been stolen from her car.
Ring the Police this morning to advise them, they came around tonight with 2 pairs of Carla Zampatti sunglasses, happy days.
We have a $500 excess, so either way it was going to cost me a lot of money, not anymore.
Great job by 3 ladies in blue.
She's going down for my burglary and another one up the road, score.

Result. My neighbour had sixteen pots of fancy orchids knocked off last night, they’re probably on Buy/Sell/Swap at $50 apiece by now. I don’t think he will be so lucky as you.

We need to bring back the "birch"...strip about 20 thou of skin off their backs, its ok, they have 40 thou of dirt and muck, insulation in winter, or that's what they tell you!
People only learn through pain and suffering, its the only thing I agree with regarding the old "eye for an eye" not talking chopping hands off, but make it so when they are tempted to steal and thieve, well they will remember the pain and may think twice!

Geez i was going to post that I felt good today because my chest pain has diminished heaps, but the last 2 posts blew that feeling away, I hate thieves, I had a dude walk into my place a month ago, cops weren't bothered, its a joke, but you know having something to fill your days in and give you some pleasure, like growing orchids, which is very time consuming does my head in, never mind the poor bloke growing em!

Finally received my new battery charger for my rc car batteries. So nothing wrong with my old 5a unit. That is still a keeper as it does nicads/nimh/lead acid and up to 6s lipos. Plus its 12v/240v. The new one is a 12a but only does nimh and up to 4s lipo. Which is fine. I run 6500mah 4s lipos. Now i never charge lipos at more then a 1:1 rate. So 6500mah=6.5a. If charged with over a 1:1 ratio, or not balance charged theres potential for them to swell and potentially explode. Plus the new charger is pretty fancy in that it bluetooths to your electric telling bone so you can monitor and or get a ding when things are either done or not right, as opposed to temporarily checking. Plus a little bit ago i got the bluetooth doodle for my rc car that lets you adjust stuff you cannot manually and gives telemetry. Its all a bit of fun. So stock as a rock the rc car has topped out at 79kmh on a fresh battery, but 76 is the consistent number before the battery gets low. So thats reasonable. A gear ratio swap will change those numbers, but extra top end requires extra space. So i dont have the itch to modify anything.... yet. But its been a bit of fun considering the lockdown means theres not much to do.

…Discovering I’m not the only person who finds interaction with ZenDesk powered customer support a consistently rubbish experience.

[slowsnake]

Since lung surgery i have been sleeping like a baby, can't believe my luck at having an early stage lung cancer not only discovered but totally removed.

Off to see GP soon and having the last drain suture removed, then its all up to me and what choices I make in the future, yes folks....

That's what makes me feel good today!..yippee,

Would I like sauce with that hat, you ask?

Actually got a response in good time, from a person proficient in English, with information I can “take to the bank”. Very pleased about this.

Will do thanks, oh, what the hell is "zendesk"? Computer maybe?

ZenDesk is a customer management software “package” that basically robotises initial responses to commercial website inquiries. It can work, but often it seems just the icing on top of a poorly run business.

And I thought you practiced "zen" at your work station?..

[Citroënbender]

For me, “zen” equates to digging a nice hole, trench or footing without yahooing in the background or a noisy radio nearby. There is plenty of music in my head, and the occasional company of Mr Tourette. So much earth in this country is unturned by humanity; if you can’t respect that as you dig down - you’re not in touch.

I felt good today at mowing and edging the back lawn, an absolute mountain of liquidambar leaves binned and everything put back “just so” after the cut. Rain coming for several days, starting tonight - left me with little option if I wanted it to be right.

Well it's been a busy week. I had all these changes that were due for UAT cutoff today and have had endless problems every step of the way. I seriously cannot remember having this much difficulty ever

Including one that has been hanging around like a pain in the **** for months. They complain like crazy but never help themselves.

We finally got some (albeit ****) engagement with a notoriously difficult team to test last week and it has just been a struggle. It's worth noting it was ready to test many months ago where these problems would have revealed much earlier

Well at the death I slid into home plate and got them all across the line. **** it feels good

Helped a homeless and starving 40 year old woman just before I went to surgery, since then she come for mos mornings for coffee with her boyfriend everyday, and I give em breakfast, I gave her my old flip phone today with a $2 sim starter and $5 bucks of credit, asked could they leave their worldly goods under my carport for few hours, was raining hard!
Its 7:30 pm their stuff is under carport and my car is on the street!
Mmmm, how far do you go, if you go at all.....
I am poor and so are they, I get more than them, they get dole, asked do they want to work?..they said yes, so spent all day on tablet looking for fruit picking work, and a relocation fee!...so how far do you go.....that's a forum question by the way?
And they never asked for money, just some tucker, they were white European.

You are a good man Billy. Many others would say "ive got my own problems". Go as far as YOU want to, just don't get taken advantage of.
