The third birthday cake in a week..

The September mayhem of birthdays in the family is complete tonight

Late to the party, but very glad you got away lightly mate!!

Hope insurance don’t muck around too long and you are back out on a bike again soon.

Agree with the others Cav, at the very worst you’ll pick up further qualifications and experience in another sector. And if they have already recognised your calibre hopefully they will be keen to protect their investment by listening to your input unlike the current bunch of muppets you are having ...

A mate I used to work with on the base in my aircraft days try to catch up for rides when we can, but they have generally been short 1 hr pub runs and we’ve only managed a few. So this time we got organised and he took a day off work and we did a decent loop during the day. He’s got an African Twin ...

Happy Birthday to Mrs Kwacky

82.3kg this morning. I've been at over 88kg for far too long so I started tracking my food, increased my proteins and fats and tried to get to the gym more often. I hit my initial target of 85kg pretty quickly but as expected it's been harder to move from 85kg. Ideally I want to be 80kg but I'll se...

scrumpy cider for lunch and now GnT's... what a surprise

Pizza!

Normally that would bring me to a cramping horrendous mess due to my yeast intolerance, but the cider brewery do a thin sour dough base and quality cheeses and I thought "feck it" lets give it a go. 7 hrs later and still good!

first day of spring, had a lazy lunch with a friend at the cider brewery up the road.

Good effort!!

While visually impressive it’s not one you have to worry about.. unless you are a small dog

Not quite today, but Thursday last week my daughter Jorja asked to go for a hoon on the bike. I said “we can go for a sensible mature ride” She looked at me and said “Whatever Father” 😂 So we had a good hoon 😇 Then the next day Jess had a RDO and we did a couple of hours on the Ducati and a pub lunch.

I’m pretty tolerant to a certain point, but if I’d been left a message like that, someone would be wearing that piece like a butt plug.

Another fantastic day on the mountain bike yesterday, approximately 3000m of vertical descending (y) It's hard work for sure and probably very good press up training 3000 metres?? Is there an extra zero in there that shouldn’t be? No extra zero.. it's possibly a bit conservative too. It's around 35...

Back home so have been able to get back into bush walks rather than endless circles on the helideck

I mix it up over a handful of tracks we have close by, but here’s a typical effort I do each morning after I’ve got every one out of the house

Farking cheeky power company c**ts They are changing out meters to smart meters, that part I was ok with. They did mine 3 days before the end of a 3 month billing cycle. Luckily I got Jess to take photos of the reads that morning. They pulled the old meters out and then when my bill arrived they had...

Pro job there Stonesie!

That's a nice position to be in. I'm riding our the current mortgage crisis and paying for my daughter to go to university. This year is her last so I'll be ok from June next year. The next few months are going to be rough but I've got a home, clothes and food in my belly. Sadly there's far too man...
