    Got to mow half the lawn yesterday, which was nice. Its so damn wet that any opportunity to take an inch or two of grass off the top is welcomed.

    Then got a call out to the Gold Coast so that was the rest of the day done. Some fancy club joint with lots of people wearing white and deck shoes. <star wars meme about hive of scum and villany here.jpg>. Music so loud I’ve still got a headache. Reckon I’m getting old. Can’t handle the “music” or the people of the GC.

    Last night I did two laps of the yard and got two shopping bags FULL of toads. So now the fridge is full of toads on step 1 of stepped hypothermia, and I am literally running out of room in the freezer for the ones I’ve caught previously. Its going to be half a wheeliebin full of the buggers come bin day. Absolute toadapalooza.

      Older I get, the more careful I get with my ears. Hearing test this year showed slight sensitivity loss in one ear, but the other ear was okay. Friendly reminder, once hearing has occurred, ain’t no way it’s coming back 🙉

      Had a toad hiding in my vegetable patch yesterday. Went inside to grab a bag for it, but it had disappeared somewhere once I came back for it. Okay Mr Toad, you win this round.

        I wish I could go back in time and slap myself everytime I didn’t wear my ear plugs, my job is hard enough on the hearing, me being less than bright when younger really didn’t help things either lol. So many frequencies I’ll never hear again :(

    Just before Christmas, car decided it wanted to shit itself. Airbag light flashing on dash, and wouldn’t go into gear. Had to override it to move the damn thing.

    Took it in for diagnostic check today, but while driving, the transmission check starts flashing on the dash with the airbag one now. Also, car was constantly getting stuck in gears 1, 2 or 3.

    Here’s me crapping my self, thinking I might have to get the transmission replaced, but nope. Was just a simple blown fuse. Replaced, error codes cleared, and off she goes. And they only charged me for half hour labour rather then the full hour. A little Christmas miracle for me.
