I've been working too hard the past few months and it's starting to catch up on me. My elbows and other bits ache each night.

So I thought I'd slow down for a while

Then the Honda pump engine down the creek wouldn't start.
Apparently the low oil level switch is pecular on these so did a full oil change and off it goes again.

The bore has gone dry or it's pump needs overhauling.
Bugga, need a crane to lift out 100 feet of casing and I'll hafta take the roof off the shed. Just to make that more interesting some bright spark pop rivetted the roof on with real big rivets.

And the rideon mower is only cutting with the centre blades.
I's a prawn of a job to fix properly and likely needs some welding too.

So much for some quiet time.

No one wants to pay a decent price for anything, what with all this parc coming in from China.

No joy from the bloke who made ya miss the BBQ?

Things are grim on the workfront here too, for the same damned reason. Makes it hard to buy bits'n'pieces for the shed when the treasury's on life-support. :(

(Someone ought to line the #@$%in' pollies up against the wall! :mad: )

There is a setting in you user panel that turns it on & off.
They aren't worth much these days.
By all means, get stuck into the monkey, you can even call him an ######## at present 'cos the swear detector doesn't know what that is. :p
Nope, that has been fixed.... never mind.
