    Bloody easter I was looking foward to five days off , second lawn yesterday broke a guys car window, then the whipper snipper died I knew it was close to death but streched it out as long as I could. Anyway five days off all is good took my two little boys up to the new skatepark this morning thought I would shred the bowl, Yeah right, fell off spent the rest of the day up at the hospital. My right wrist is stuffed, they don't think it's broken but it is so swollen they can't be certain of the xrays, bloody sore as. Had a wrist gaurd on my left wrist because that is my bad one bloody genius I am. I think I'm getting to old for this stuff might stick to the surf.FOR SALE ONE NEWISH OLD SCHOOL SKATEBOARD must go before this idiot kills himself. If you guys want to check out our new bowl it's on you tube under bar beach skatepark deepest bowl in oz

    We dont heal as well or as fast as we used to! Stick to surfing!
    Surfed the Alley this morning before sunrise! Small but uncrowded at first, a 2 cover up ride and I was happy! Didnt break or hurt anything! haaa A guy did get washed up the front rock though. Broke out a fin and dinged his board! I wasnt displeased with that... he went in! haa

    Some people are just unbelievable aren't they. They just want their lawn mowed and they don't care about rain, lack of daylight, your regular customers or contract work or even if it is physically impossible to do it, they just want it done. Another thing I've noticed is that these people are usually one offs and you will never hear or see from them ever again once you get their jungle back under control for the lowest price. I had a woman ring me on Christmas morning asking if I was working today .......
    un-effing-believable!!!

    The bloke I bought my business off kept on telling me
    "People don't give a F--k about you so look after your own interests first" He was absolutley right about that one.

    I hate it when a customer calls the house phone at 6am. Earliest has been 5am Has happened a few times from the same people looking to catch me befor I leave home and too tight to call the mobile. I'm not the only one living in the house and I usually on the throne or in the shed at that time getting ready to go so wakes the
    Missus up. Luckily she very nice but I've told her in future to let them know they've woken you up and that he has a mobile. Don't be so tight and call it. Just bloody rude I reckon.

    Have always advertised with home and mobile number cause most oldies just won't call a mobile. Most oldies are the best clients going so I always thought giving the home number a good thing. Look it's happened maybe 5 times in 4 yrs just s@it's me when it does. When next ad goes in the annual directory I won't be including it. Even to avoid telemarketers. Now THEY make me grumpy. Probably more than anything.

    For $10-$20 a month get a 1800 or 1300 number that goes direct to your mobile, best of both worlds, the oldies love it and turn on silent when you don't want calls.

    We got a call on ANZAC day from someone wanting to speak with the business owner. I advised them it was a public holiday in this country and we were not working...
    I noticed we missed another call round tea time same day...people must think we work 24/7 every day of the year
