So Godez and I are booked at the Chevron Towers on the Gold Coast for some of his trip up here. During that time, we are going to party like rockstars. Rockstars who play poker.
People are also reminded that the Montezuma’s party is still “go” and I’ll need RSVPs. I know, I know, realistically I [...]
Ohio. I was disappointed beyond all reason this morning, when loud banging on my door indicated that it was time for work. Very very unimpressed.
And why you may ask? Because I had a good weekend, which didn’t bear interrupting
Friday was out to dinner with Mongo, Chris and Celia, G&R, Woo and M&D. It was [...]
I saw a sign on a taxi rear today advertising Jupiter’s new show “Zingara”. I have heard that it is a disorganized, ramshackle affair with no coherent storyline or development, but what amazes me is the tagline: “Be seduced by the Gypsy Queen.”
Surely I’m not the only person who knows that the Romani people consider [...]
Presumably, Brenden is having a great day today - it’s his last day, and he’s off to unemployment tomorrow. We celebrated today with pizza and coke.
I went to the movies last night with Danielle and saw Ocean’s Thirteen. It wasn’t bad, not as good as Eleven, but better than Twelve. We also had Ginga for [...]
Dudes, check it out: new transmitter for my plane. Woot!
Having a very “up and down” kinda day today. Was a bit meh earlier, then I got my remote and was pleased, and then I realized that it still needs to be installed into the plane before I can fly it, and now I’m back to [...]
Rob and Nadia came over on Saturday and really whipped me into shape, vis-a-vis the whole lounge room project. I also caught up with Glara on Saturday night for nachos. ‘Twas good. I read Charlotte the Goldilocks book she had, and she didn’t even do the constant re-appearing trick all night. Uncle Dean rules.
Sunday was [...]
Of course I didn’t forget that SoO is on tonight!
Having hastily organized a raincheck for tonight’s dinner with Rob (now tomorrow), footy at my place is still on. I will not be making a mess of myself as in the first game, but I will be enjoying a few cervesas. You’re well advised to do [...]
When I was Project Manager for my old workplace’s move to their new location, I learnt a secret Telstra number. This number basically told you what physical line you were calling from - if there’s a dial tone when you pick up the phone, it’s “connected” but not necessarily “enabled”. This is important for them [...]
Well, I normally consider my google skills beyond reproach, but it’s suprisingly difficult to find a guide on how to mount a replacement engine mount for my F27B Stryker.
The mount is actually pictured here: http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ1234
and the motor is pictured here: http://www.parkzone.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ1216
The best descriptions I can find are these two forum posts:
First you cut both rings [...]
Here’s some funny stories. First one, upon reading yesterday’s blog post:
Leyton: wha? lara doesnt like montezumas?
Leyton: she doesnt like board games, computers, sport or montezumas
Leyton: why do we hang around with her again?
He makes a good point.
Second amusing story: we have a secret-squirrel system for posting checks to our bank. In our PO Box, we keep 3 stamped, [...]
