    Pulled the pin at lunchtime today and went for a surf, sun out, warm water, and a few waves with my brother.

    Ordered a Shindy short shaft articulated hedge trimmer and received a long shaft for the original price $294.00 delivered. Gotta be happy with that! Checked the website prices and they have just gone up

    You could have really rubbed it in and said "and followed by cold schooners of beer at the Junction Hotel"

    Just checked in the Gumtree ad's, got a real nice comment from 'unknown"...gosh it was good, I think I know but just aint sure, but nice to know I'm appreciated from time to time, as the old saying goes...look after the customer and the customer will look after you, .....I think this was a young lass who is doing things tuff and paid a fair price and I did a good job anyway....there will be ref's but the point is good customer service.

    Putting the reco'd head back on the ute after blowing the head gasket and having a ute to drive again. In the process getting rid of a rough idle that had been driving me nuts for nearly a year.

    Came to the realisation that I must be doing something right.

    I called a Bodycorp next door to a regular client of mine because the place looked S***, Gave my quote for the initial clean up and regular work.

    Now I'm scoring an additional regular every week on average. (This week 3)

    Currently doing around $650 per month of work for them.

    Further to this, had news from one of my other bodycorps that they're about to give me back a job (another story there haha) worth in the vicinity of 15K per year.

    Sooooooo, I might be putting another worker on

    I guess to me, when business is growing, in general you must be doing something right.

    Went for a stroll in the countryside yesterday.
    Good for the fitness and see lots of interesting things and get paid for it.
    Oh, and squirted a few lantana on the way.

    Tell me about it

    Had a customer complain a couple of weeks back that I didn't mow under their trampoline. Their trampoline was 15ft wide.

    Aaaahhh, Wouldn't be dead for quids. Pearler of a sunny autumn day. Its 19 degrees clear skies. I have the sweet smell of moonshine wafting from my still out the back and I am getting ready to mix up a batch of apple pie moonshine. Wonder what the poor folks are doing.
