Thats odometer.
Anyhows, yes i do still hear daily everything fishtank related and yeah the photos do show my kid has a proper nice big fish tank thats well set up. But today he deviated from his fish escapades back to slot cars. Dunno why. So we both have scaletric cars, other then tyres they are what they are. Super glue the fronts as the guide does the steering so less front grip is best and grippy rears because corners. But we also have race spec revoslot cars. Talking a few years back, i bought 2 identical ones with different liveries, so gt2 viper gtsr's. His is the one with blue stripes, mine is the fat turbo express with eyelashes. I dont care, same car to keep the competition equal. Not that we raced them competitively, if you've ever spectated a slot car race night it genuinly is 6 50 year old virgins who punch on if someone's 32nd scale car takes theirs out. But back to regular crap talking. Both his and my cars are modified the same and to the rules of the revo class. So stock motor and gearing. No weights or magnets. Guide and tyres and wheels are unlimited. So 9mm guides, superglued fronts and he has aftermarket rubber, i run aftermarket foam. Which is better? Depends on how dirty the track is. But still, he reckons he can beat me. I doubt that. Both cars are equal, but mine is a tad heavier as the body is held together with glue. His is in good shape because he does this weird things kids dont tend to do, and thats respect stuff. |

Today my father turned 81. Five years ago when he told me he had bladder cancer I thought it was all over. Thankfully he is still in good health with no signs of the cancer returning. Now if there was only a way to fix the @rsehole's head................

From 10:43pm today, for the next six months, there'll be more daylight hours than night time hours.
Winter, your dastardly grip on us is waning!

Went down to the mechanics today to book a time for a rego check. Why dont i just call you might ask, language barrier. Anyhows they were quite busy and i was willing to bring the car back, but they did it on the spot telling others waiting i was booked in for 930 which was a lie. They actually went over the car, normally if it has tyres and lights and no exhaust leaks they'll pass it. Past 4 inspections the car failed on an exhaust leak which is always the same gasket but this time round it was apples. Only reason its the same gasket over and over is that thats the flange that scrapes on sydneys ever growing mountainous speed bumps (curse you SUV people...). But she's all insured and payed up for another year.

So the mechanics i take my car to is samsung auto repair in North Parramatta. They are very korean but also excellent mechanics.
Anyhows, my kid has a samsung phone and a few other devices, so after school was done i texted him to say this morning i went to samsung and got something. He was thinking electeonics not a pink slip. Yes i worded it in a way so as he would assume wrong. He tells me that's not samsung. It is, just completely different and a mechanic workshop. |
