    Just doing a little search to see where my website is ranking and I stumbled across a new company with many paragraphs basically copy and pasted from my website's pages.

    What to do...Hmmm.

    Ute starts overheating yesterday,busted thermostat, off the road till 11am. By that stage it's too hot to work so all work put off till tomorrow. On top of that the Honda 435 brushcutter motor decides to cease up and needs a new motor( $300). So it looks like mark has to buy a new brushcutter for his 50th birthday this weekend. But this time he's buying the lighter weight 425.

    This could be a good thing. Working on your own will be less stress.. It's all growing slow due to no rain so you should be ok for a while..until it rains again anyway.

    Customers who come out waving their arms. You turn off the machine. They tell how hot it is, then they go back inside.
    You pull your #$%^ out trying to start the machine again!!!!!!
    Cheers Fred.

    Smart phones. I swear it feels hotter when you constantly see then temperature update. I shouldn't look at the thing and just keep working, convincing myself it isn't that hot.

    Must be the season for it. My thermostat went too last week and kept me off the road for days. It is a huge job to change one in a rodeo.

    I was just about to post about them in the private section so they didn't get any free publicity through the forum ;-)

    They are hitting up the whole country in a big way.

    Broke my first window ever on Friday, just happened to be the car window of the Hilux dual cab I have on rental while my car is getting repaired at the smash repairers. Oops.

    Grumpy that I have to waste my time drafting payment demand letters to three, who initially were, good, fast paying clients.
