    Calling into a servo (that I dont usually go to) to top up the rider. Go in to pay and they ask for a quote to mow there lawns. Did them there and then!
    Whats funny is another lawnie I know rocks up just as Im about to start. Have a chat and turns out he works nights there behind the counter!
    So, going there in the first place was lucky, getting there 10mins before him was even luckier.

    That's a perfect example of why you need a trailer with a full floor, sides and tailgate. I have unloaded the mower before and found stuff that had come loose and fell off the mower (bolts, anti-scalp wheels etc) if I had a mesh floor and no sides I would never have known.

    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    My neighbour/friend is working on a movie that's going to be doing some shooting across the road from my place. Got a call to mow this little paddock so they can park there cars n trucks etc.
    A quick n easy $50. Park ute at home, drive mower over road, 20min mow, drive back and park machine in shed. Easy!

    I worked on a film The Ruins with him a few years ago through winter working on the sets, fetching stuff etc. I know the food truck well! Great feeds!
    If you ever see the movie, they pull into a little Mexican town. There's a sh!tty "gas station" in the back ground. That's practically all me! My claim to fame! Ha

    I will have to see if I can get it.. I bet you have watched it a few times LOL

    After I sold the VIP and went back into bricklaying I had an irish backpacker working for me and he worked on the set of Brave Heart with Mel Gibson. He had a part where he and others flashed their bums at the English soldiers. His claim to fame lol

    Got a one off at this place yesterday......easy $100, drive round on the rideon for a couple of hours, admiring the view......no snipping, no blowing. Shame it's prone to flooding. The guy who's renting it said the river was 2 inches below the floor board 2 years ago, He was stuck there for two days......back in the 76 flood it had a metre of water through the house. Top spot though....the end of the jetty has rod holders.....lol.
