"All sin is washed away in the Holy goodness of Beer"
Book of Redeye, Psalm 69
I had a job lined up once with this lovely old lady which I planned to do within the week or so. It just happens that at the same time some dodgy dudes where working that street and one of them had the same first name as me. He knocked on her door and offered to do some work. She mistook him for me. Anyway him and his missus did some fairly poor quality work for her then when they were done charged about a grand (yes that is over a thousand dollars) more than what I (and most people) would have charged. When she heard how much it was you could imagine her shock and then they pressured her to drive to the ATM to get the money out. She is a pensioner on her own. She couldn't go to the cops because she agreed to getting work done and there was no price negotiated.
1. why didn't she ask for a quote ?
Due to being friendly and across the road thinking it would be a fair price
2.Why did she pay him ?
I don't know
3.Why did she continue with his services ?
I don't know
She is in here late 40's
Someone called me on 26 Dec at 5.20pm todo her lawn on that day. Didnt she know that it was a Public Holiday plus 5.20pm already.

Yer, no worries luv. Nine’s Cricket broadcast is wrapping up for the day. I’ve drank Soda Water expecting your call and I’ll just put the Bertocchii Ham I’m slicing for dinner back in the fridge. Suit up in hi vis gear, hitch up me trailer and be there in 30 mins. Didn’t quite hear you, did you say you paid the last guy $40 too.
I had two go to message bank today but at least it’s not Boxing Day.
Cheers Garry
That feeling when you get home after a long days work and realise that the 20 mins weed spraying was time wasted!
Forgot to add the Glypho
Just went to fill it up and found a few ltrs of clear water in it. I always add some marker dye to my glypho so I know when it's added to the tank

when you get out of the surf and the sand burns your feet, and its only 9am
when just walking on the grass in the backyard burns your feet , its not grass anymore more like straw
when a cold shower feels like a hot shower
when the ac just wont go low enough
if its this hot tomorrow I might have a sickie
After 41 yesterday, although I did a 8 Hr drive, 42 today and forecast 36 tomorrow, I'm having tomorrow off too, it's called an executive decision.
Eggs, bacon and coffee instead of hooking up the trailer, Jobs stacked up to the billy'o, but it's the way it is.
Get that Surf board out tomorrow me thinks..
Cheers Garry
When you spend 4 weeks trying to keep your lawn in top condition for open house this week and watering twice a day but these 40 plus degrees just hammer the fresh cut grass in 1 day....maybe mow the day before, but jeeze!!
