  • Cleaning out the freezers today as it’s bin night. There is… a lot. Ol’ girl had a habbit (when she/we did the shopping down here) of doubling down on shit that we already had. Also brings duplicates of stuff from melbs down and heaps end up in there

    Now she’s not shopping so it’s time for the purge. Some of that shit would be 5+ yrs old. Difficult to know what’s good / bad for a lot of it. Seems like a waste but relatively not too bad considering how long it’s been.

    Does anyone here keep an inventory of stuff in there? Tempted to do a spready (or 2) and slap it on doors to keep it tight. But it might be one of things where it could be an idea but will never work properly.











  • Finally got around to rebuilding an ‘old’ mountain bike I built for an ex. I’ve been riding the unicorn bell bike and trike which both weigh a tonne and handle shockingly. I figured may as well use the heavier ones as you get more exercise in in less time and no one will pinch them.

    I forgot what it’s like to ride such a light bike. Weighs 8.5kg. Built it when the AUD was way way higher so ended up being a bargain for what it is ('bout $700, last service (!) for my other mtb years ago was $380).

    So that’s the ‘new’ goon / snack / beach transport machine. I am tempted to put the unicorn bell and basket on as theft prevention devices.

    But jeez riding it brings back memories which i think is why i left it so long. Happy it still works well and the salt air down here hasn’t fucked it too much.
