Of course anyone showing up on a StarCruiser deserves the very best rate m'lord. :)

Lovely day. Warmish but not bad at Lake Barrine. Nice relaxed day at Lake Barrine THEN I noticed my heartbeat monitor going stupid - 130-140 bpm - and I have been sitting for the better part of an hour. I can't feel anything wrong but that's not good. I wait a bit but not going down so I...

Today is the day the augurs are favourable. Hi of only 29, mixed sun and cloud and light winds. 🏍️ Tomorrow too. Buddy wants a ride Sunday so would be sweet to do back to back. Will be even cooler on the tablelands. Some Celebrex and a day out looks good. Have a new Audible to listen to as...

Ah they'd fire my ass in a minute for the number of orders I get mixed up. And I also have flat feet. Partner is doing her part working for the election.

One ethical issue Aussies don't have to navigate. Hospitality staff are well paid here including super contributions which follow you from your first pay cheque. 11.5 % of wages are paid to the individuals super fund by the employer. That can be topped up by the employee to max of $30 per year...

I wish but on pension price is never from my mind especially in Australia where shipping costs are high from US or Europe if they are even available for a model. $507 US delivered to me is $806 Australian before GST $886.60 Aus delivered for and that's before me getting them the OEM seat. A...

My kangaroo kabobs must have come from a tough old buck. Still was tasty with eggs for breakfast. At my request partner bought me some ....was hoping for a steak but kabobs were all that was available. Very healthy meat and easy on the environment. Just not available all the time in stores and...

Most of us can't afford an RDL. A Sargent made a big difference on the KLR but they are not cheap either. Tried most of the popular seats over my riding career and only the RDL let me do 1,000 km days back to back given my sciatica. For a lot less money tho the Airhawk with padded shorts...

Late night /early morning roo snack. Using up my carnivore quota before my second extraction. Nearly done in by sneaky Wordle Wordle 1,371 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 In theory a riding window this am but much better tomorrow. Will start the bike this am just in case but not...

That was a fun clip with Bush Barbie....wonder how many takes it took I sold my BMW g-310-gs - never melded with it and one annoyance was 11L tank, ridiculous for an ADV bike. Happy to be back on the CB500 series which has decent size tank and extremely good range. Showing some rain relief but...

Noraly in Jeddah Surprised how uncrowded and looks prosperous. Happy to be virtual tourist. Still dripping outside - so damp inside...my clothes are growing shrooms. Tried to wean off codeine but not quite yet. Bowls Club tonight I think tho not sure what I can eat.....pasta maybe.:unsure:

I did the 3-6 months away thing for many years. Get a 3 month visitors visa then extension. Worked well before retirement then partner retired too and I sold out my biz - got just enough to cover my debts. And that was just before covid hit. 🍀🍀 I considered shipping my CB500x but decided against...

That's us in a nutshell...but it is a slow drift for us. Once the car is paid for we'll have a bit more discretionary income. Most Australians have sizeable supers to back them but not everyone.

Slowly drifting down the middle class ladder. :( Sausage sizzle for charity at Bunnings always a big draw but it's hit too. Used to be a $2 coin...

Oh damn - missed that it was just the wine :eek: You could get a decent bottle of Australian Merlot for $28 ;) This change has to be hitting eateries. First covid now cost of living,

This came in today. That's all in price. No tax no tipping. Last week - this was good deal but twice places ice cream machine was busted There is a Shake and Win deal twice a day and they can be very good deals. I just wish the meal looked like the ad. Used to be I could get two scones and...

Ur soooo bad ;)

$28 not so bad with wine for two but yeah it's the $140 hits for two that hurts, Before I retired I could take staff out for a steak dinner on the company at least once a year.. The last time we did, we all looked at the bill and said nah ....not worth it and that was a good few years back. They...

Used to be we would have a nice meal out in a decent restaurant a couple or 3 times a month. We bought the coupon books supporting rescue dogs and made our 50% off choices, Now - aside from my $5 Hungry Jacks deals - it simply does not seem worthwhile and we don't buy the coupon books...

Hey mate This time of year yeah tho Mareeba gets 300+ days of sunshine up the range. Speaking of Dan Murphy ( local bottle shop ) need a Baileys knock off to have in my coffee. Took me a while to get my permanent visa....covid actually helped move things forward. The powers that be sent me an...
