Sounds like your week has been as good as mine.

1) When you are on the way home from a good day out, and coming home on unfamiliar roads, its probably a good idea to listen to your wife and grab the street directory, rather than respond with "no worries babe, I know where we are going" ops:

2) Dont watch the Tour De France and think you might still look good in lycra :shock:

I learned to listen more to my little boy :

Decided to show him our block of land, after I had spent all day clearing it. We had just had about 1/2 inch of rain in a storm, and the slope up onto the block is about 60 degrees and all clay...

Up I went, full road pressure in the tyres and LL 1st gear.. As I sat there spinning all 4 tyres, my 5 year old said "you forgot to drop the tyre pressures and you should have the 2nd gear start button in daddy" :shock:

I need to listen to my son more...

Cheers,

sounds like the little master of this residence..butane :lol:

I learnt that most employees (Not all) don't give a rats about their work ethic! They know that if something important needs doing, and if they don't do it, someone else will. Pitty it is so hard hiring good help these days.

Im glad you said not all mate :lol: I have had my job for nearly 4 years, apart from your standard holidays ive had 4 roster days off in that time (1 for PP stockton trip so it was a necessity :lol: ) and only lost 5 hrs of work when i broke my leg in the pit, my workplace could not give a stuff about loyalty and are actually looking at chipping me for not taking days :x
are you looking for an employee there D4D-GXL :lol: :lol: :lol:

I learnt that my mother-in-law is every bit as thick as I thought...

"I've got a funny noise coming from my car"..."it hasn't had a service for 40 000 Kms"...

(after having a check of the car).."there's no oil in your car!!!"..

...(then the cracker)...."but the temperature guage didn't go up and there was water in there" :shock: :shock: :shock:

That today's teenagers have no concept of attention to detail.

Spent 2 days detailing the old 98 Prado in preparation of selling her to get the 18 year old a ute of some description - he wants a ute as he is doing a carpentry apprenticeship and hopes to pick up a job this year in the building industry. Apparently the V6 Prado is a bit expensive to drive around the city.

So, I said he had to help me clean the old girl if he wanted something out of it. Well, I ended up doing 90% of the job myself. There was 11 years worth of red dust in all sorts of hidden places. I got sick of saying "attention to detail" - it just goes in one ear and out the other.

I'll be sad to seee her go, she has been a trusty steed with no issues in nearly 200,000km.

If you wanna keep the outlaws happy by having your children baptised make sure you get the baptism done before the child can talk . I had my 2 yr old baptised yesterday and she looked the priest straight in the eyes and and on the top of her voice she said " I HATE YOU , YOU WET MY DRESS " I could not say anything to my daughter as I bursted out in laughter amd had to run out of the church . Looks like I didnt make the outlaws happy after all :shock:

It seems no matter what you do to reduce the chance of treated pine sleepers from warping, they will do so either before you get a chance to bolt them down or after you bolt them down. They also will shrink to by about 1-2cm over a 3 metre length, spilting the timber post used to support them. :shock:

The timber I was using was the H4 3m x 200mm x 50mm treated pine. I also had a look today at the 75mm stuff & it was already warped at the store!

The only sleepers I have that are close to staying straight are 3m lengths with supporting post at either end & in the middle - all concreted in. The next garden will either have a new design to allow for the shrinkage by covering up the join points but not holding the timber with bolts so it can 'move' or be concrete sleepers
