Working too hard
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.

I can't stand being idle Al.
Maybe I should make a walking stick, but it sounds like you need to make a footstool

Al,
heaps of work around here, even more in Innisfail (bore the brunt of the cyclone) just give me a yell if you want to lay 20kg besser blocks instead of those wussy little clay bricks.

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.
