Birthday last week. Got some lotto tickets and scratchies.
Checked them today. Won 2 lots of $18 and $20 on the scratchy. Also sold some militaria pieces for $360. Beers are on me.

Saw a dual cab Jeep ute today, apparently he’d not sufficient funds for roof bars or a tail flag after splurging on a body kit. 2x4s bundled together, some overhanging the tailgate admirably (and unflagged), others poked through the rear screen hatch to rest on the passenger side dash - driver holding them down as he drove. One panic stop and it would be off to Windscreens O’Brien.
I felt good about having a ute that cost far less, which can carry real loads more safely/easily than this “toy”. |

Traffic cops could make a killing sitting off at Bunnings catching these dummy's.
Insecure load, no red flag, load projecting etc.

It’s by no means an exhaustive list, but a few thoughts:

One that doesn't need you to tow a trailer to carry all the stuff that doesn't fit in one of those tiny dual cab tubs/trays.

Yeah be interesting to see how much dual cab ute sales would drop if the ATO decided they would no longer be classed as commercial vehicles

So i check out tomorrow from the hotel im staying in. Anyhows, turned the lamp on at 230am this morning and on the wall was a huntsman. Not a big one by hunstman standards. Palm sized not full hand size. They're harmless so i named him frank and left him alone. Come morning i said to the housekeeper 'come meet frank'. She freaked. Then he disappeared for a while. I told the lady on the front desk, not as a complaint, but i said after i check out they can play god as the next person in that room will probably blow up if they see frank.
Anyhow, he showed up later so i did the right thing and got him with a glass then slid a sheet of paper under that. On taking him downstairs and outside i introduced the lady on the front desk to frank. Yeah, she freaked out. Anyhows went for a bit of a walk and frank now lives in a tree. |

Just had a drive of a Hyundai Ioniq N5, holey moley.
0-100 in 3.4 seconds, 448 kw in normal mode Just feeling that instant torque when you stab the throttle. And does it look good or what. Only about 110k. Very, very nice car.

The only electric car I'm interested in but thought it was closer to $120k? Really like the look of even the normal Ioniq 5 but N is just better again.

After two weeks on the road with my daughter to get her to her new home and settle her in, it's time for me to leave her to her own devices. Gonna be a tough day.
To take the edge off, I've been upgraded to business class for my first flight from cairns to brissy. Never been business class before, so I hope it is a good experience.
