Just watched SPIT on Binge. What a good movie. The sequel to GETTIN SQUARE is a great watch. If you like Mr Inbetween or enjoy comedic drama set in Australia I highly recommend. www.imdb.com/title/tt3474... www.imdb.com/title/tt0341... www.imdb.com/title/tt7472...

Been crook for last couple of months. Missed Budgie rally. Aiming for Frosty Dingo. I knew I was improving when I attempted to clean shed and ordered new tools on Ebay. Dodging twump on Web is full time job. Cheers all keep on keeping on.

Grandaughtèr has one job on Sunday. The long painful slog from kitchen to wheelie bin. Putting bins on footpath and new liners. You could see the weight of the task draining the energy from her tiny frame.

#Australia #travel #bushpoetry If I only had a dollar For every mile I've travelled. If memories were money I'd fill a bank or two.

#Australia #travel The middle of nowhere. Can you guess why sultanas were a vital part of camp cooking in central Australia?

#Australia #travel The Turtle. My home for over a year after I retired. I was technically homeless and having a psychotic episode apparently. At the time I just remember travelling and photographing sunsets, writing and performing bush poetry. Saw most of Australia. Miss it occasionally.

Just joined Discord as Sidecardave. Old fart, can't figure out how to make it do anything. Group I found under Motorcycles doesn't let me join. Anytips? or am I just too old and full of farts?

#motorcycle #movies #sidecar Surprising number of movies with sidecars in them when you start looking. Watching Land of the Dead 2005 and noticed Suzuki Bandit sidecar. Went down the rabbit hole.

I have been very fortunate and lived a life without hate, there are some I choose not to be around but in general I have a lucky life. I make an exception for 2 Australians Peter Dutton and Campbell Newman. They are human scum raised to power on lies and influence. They have no redeeming features.

#motorcycle #organdonor Really missing my son at the moment. Lost him Feb this year. First Xmas without him. If you ride a motorcycle make sure you are an organ donor and have id on you. Your worst day can be someone's best.

Happy birthday my son. Moved onto The Dreamtime 18.02.2024. The world you left a duller place. Not brightened by your smile. But I see you in your children's face. And go the extra mile. Jarren means Blue Skies in Muninjali.
