this'll essentially be a thread about all the things you love to enjoy in life, whether your wife, sister or friend gives birth right down to a weekly ritual you may enjoy! for me its a nice bagel from the brisbane markets each wednesday for lunch or going to visit my family on the weekend, please do share it here, this'll essentially be the opposite of "Geez, I hate That!" thread.
Enjoy! |

The smell of a summer tropical rain.
The feeling you get just before you are about to go on a holiday. The feeling you get just after you done a significant mod to your car. About to chow down on your absolute favourite meal with your best friends and family The smell of cooking a BBQ Going for a bike ride and not thinking about anything else in life

Seeing a local hoon being stopped by police. Yeh !!!
Spotting an item on your shopping receipt that you've been over charged for....then getting a full refund on that item. Getting a big hit on the rod when you've only just launched the boat. Proving my 13yr old son wrong! Over quoting a gardening job 'cause you don't want it....then you get it! (I usually only do this if prickles are involved) When something goes wrong with the car & you've got it licked same day. |

Rain on a shed roof when lying in bed at night.
When you first light a camp fire and get that dry eucalyptus smell. Fried onions on a BBQ. And when you see driving lights shine through your living room curtains and it's the pizza man. |

Walking onto a jetty or beach where there is some numpty who thinks he can fish but is getting nothing. Then bagging out in short order... "see ya mate, have a nice day.
 "A guy threw $1000 worth of fishing gear off a jetty in frustration, and stormed off, one day after me and a mate did exactly that. That was a great day, an esky full of whiting and squid, a couple of Penn SS's and graphite rods to suit plus a tackle box full of quality gear. Geez, I loved that.

I was a "bad lad" with a blue collar and met a chick that I was punching way above my weight. I have two of the most pretty/smart daughters (IMO) that I'm so proud of. I never wanted kids, but when you play around with girls, stuff happens! They're smart and educated, loved school/university. So far in contrast to me. Yeah, it's all good. Just hope their life's choices keep it that way. Cheers!

Making my little girl giggle. She just turned 1.
Driving-wise, there's nothing more satisfying than going past some jerkoff who had been zig-zagging and tailgating their way through traffic and has become stopped behind someone turning off, and I simply glide by having sensibly gone with the flow.

When I have a job to do and visualise what needs to be done, get the right tools and parts together and get the job done in double quick time because everything goes smoothly and exactly the way I visualised it, with no hitches or unexpected problems. Like a front wheel bearing change in under 20 minutes from lifting the wheel off the ground to dropping it off the jack or a rear spring change on my Fairlane in under half an hour, both sides, start to finish.....Ya gotta' love that.
