    Technology!!!
    Was waiting for the last 30 seconds to bid on a brushcutter - brand new Kaaz was still on $51.00. I have 3 others but 2 getting old so this would be a good pick up. Put in my max bid and don't you know it.
    Bloody phone or ebay or amaysim ??? dont know what but it sat there for 30 seconds and when it got through i got the message.
    Bidding on this item has ended!!!
    Went for $52 I think

    My new job comes with a new phone ,my phone still has 10 months on the contract which I'm ok with and happy to keep paying (a contracts a contract)but wanted the data shifted to my daughters phone which is on the same bill.
    Oh no, sorry sir we can't do that.

    Must be getting hot in Melbourne?

    Spoke to a fellow indy who had the same problems I had! 2 brushies & 1 blower wanted to give me the ****es today. Persisted with them and they eventually got going full revs.
    Pull out the spares for the rest of the week

    I had issues with my brushy and blower thi arvo also. I thought it must be time to knock off at that stage.

    Bloody thieves are at it again. Another contractors trailer got nicked today from Quakers hill loaded with gear. A jims one got nicked a few weeks back from a neighbouring suburb. Thank god we don't have a trailer.

    Tenants that dictate, when, how and what to do on your fortnightly visit. Even though they aren't the one paying the bill.

    farking truck deciding that 6am on Saturday morning, whilst loaded with ZTR driving to a large commercial job, that it was a good time and place (re arterial road) to seize the motor solid. still farking angry. now on a desperate search for a reco/wrecker motor to get me out of the ****e and using my play toy with a trailer for work which pisses me off even more so. not a happy camper. oh and to boot, the damn ZTR is too big and too heavy for the trailer I have sourced so its stuck on the back of the truck at the mechanics where it got towed to. likely to find my inner-waterboy and ride the mongrel home 10kms lol end rant.

    Hey Mow and Grow,

    That's bad news about truck motor,
    but it looks as though you have "just used them beyond their operational limitations"

    Bloody senile clients who cancel all the time saying "oh i dont think it needs mowing yet" for months, then complain to the corp that nothing has been done....

    Hey dude... I feel for you mate...
    All my bearings on the trailer and the ute's front wheels went at the same time.
    I was reversing at the tip and noticed the trailer's wheel flopping all over the place with a full load.....Farkn lucky...
    The mechanic said the utes bearings will need replacing soon... that was a few months ago.
    Back in the shop...
