What a weekend!

Wow - that was the most fun I've had for a LONG time!
I think I'm about to enter a serious trailbike riding phase.
Good job, Nic, Juz, Foz and JB...we should do it again soon!

Here's Foz being Foz...



More pics as soon as I get them from John-Boy.

Jebus and Tim Horton

Vince says:

"...we call him Jebus. We take him along on road trips and take photos of him. He also changes places in the house on a regular basis.
One day he is on top of the fridge...the next he can appear in your left shoe...it's Jebus.
He has been burnt, hung, frozen, drowned in booze, almost decapitated and brought back from the dead."

Dave replies:

"When are you guys gunna get some cameras set up in that frat-house of yours?"

Congrats Em and Tom!

Peak Oil Anyone?

Apparently there was a fairly heavy-duty documentary on this topic...I missed it as I don't own a TV.

I've been catching up, internet-style:

My Bike

Here is a picture of a bike that looks like mine:



Cool huh?

Archives

Seems that archives weren't working for those of you using Firefox.

"Archive Filename" in Settings >> Archiving was blank for some reason...but somehow this didn't seem to create a problem for IE.
In Firefox I think it was causing the pages to be served incorrectly, with the wrong MIME-type maybe? It's all over my head.

Should be OK now, let me know if there are any more problems.

The Horror!

Would anyone like to take a guess as to what this is a picture of?

Haggard

Can anyone explain to me why there is a scene in the American indy movie "Haggard" that shows a dude jumping onto a bus in Chadstone, Melbourne, Australia?

It appears randomly in the middle of a montage that has nothing to with buses or jumping, and especially not Australia - the rest of the film is set in West Chester, Pennsylvania.



Don't ask how I spotted it in the 2 seconds it was on screen - I always manage to notice the irrelevant things in life...

Skype

I've given in to demand and installed Skype.
Seems pretty good.
My username is "daveholio"

Original huh?

News

Other ranodm stuff I have failed to mention:

Roger was up here for the V8s a week or so ago...thanks for the tickets.
My guts are crook again.

I just got the head off Mr Brown, finally.
I think my turbo seal is cactus.
I need to machine the exhaust manifold face.
It looks like there was something crook with the head gasket.

Um...
I'm about to go canoeing in semi-dodgy waters (croc-wise)

Civilians making and racing rocket powered toy cars.




The time has come to make some Rocketcars.

Anniversary

Today it's one year since:

I quit smoking cigarettes.
I got back from my 2 month trip overseas.

This means I haven't worked for someone else for about 14 months, I've been a property investor for the same period of time, and I've saved about $4000 in money previously wasted on smoking.

Guess I finally paid for my motorbike after all.
