    Not happy but bloody funny.

    Installed about 30sqm of kikuya for a new client about 15 weeks ago, didn't hear from her until now when she rings to tell me that she used round up to spot spray some weeds in her lawn..............almost couldn't stop myself from laughing!

    Lucky it was only spot spraying.

    I can only laugh after today too. Just when you think you've heard all the excuses or stories you could.... I lost some work this week but not to a cowboy, or doorknocker but of all people, a recently re-settled assylum seeker.... Yep.

    Tomorrow will be my last day in the taxi industry. Might do a shift or two here and there for the owner if he is needs a day off, (his idea)but I find it very hard to see in my imagination at this stage - and I have a very good imagination. However, I can easily imagine never getting up at 3.30 to go to work again!!!!!

    My old HRU 195 had a rattle in the motor a while back and found out the conrod bolts were loose and the conrod was cracked, which is easily replaced, but the crankshaft journal is quite sad. Have been chasing around for a replacement crank or even motor. Found a motor in Brisbane but $285. Was patient and bought a complete Masport with a GXV 140 for $150 today off Gumtree. Even has the PTO for self drive!!! Already got it on the HRU deck after a carby clean, oil change, new filter and the extra 2 blades on the disk. Was using the HRU 19D back-up but that is so much louder (160GC) and never cuts as good as the old 195 deck. Should be the same as the only difference is the motor. Will have a play with that tomorrow and try to find out the reason why and fix it. But all in all, very happy having a back-up machine again coming into the busy season.
