New page added :-)
If you look in the top navigation on the site you will notice that I have added a new page. Called KML’s it is designed to be a repository of Kml files that I make 
The files are made either via my Asus R2H or my Nokia N95 8GB.

Oh man this is coming out on the 21st party…..
This video footage is coming out on this kids 21st that is for sure….
This is what happens when you are a little to greedy with the old fashion Claw game…..
I want this one….
New advert for the Subaru WRX STI. Ok so the car is butt ugly and I really do prefer the older version. And really want I want is a diesel forester xt with a low range option but you can’t always get what you want. (Hmm could be a song in that….). Well at least the diesel forester isn’t going to be in Australia for a few years at least.
I love the sub on this add however…
“Do not attempt. Really. Do not tho this.Stunts performed at sanctioned events. Specially equipped rally vehicle.”
and
“Professional driver. Closed course. Obey all traffic laws, always drive safely and wear your seat belt.”
Both of these are like “no shit sherlock”! Of course your average 22 year old male subaru driver is going to say “Hey wait a minute, the small type said not to do this, so i will now drive at the speed limit and never put the car into sports mode and set the diff to slide out mode.”
anway enjoy.
The Joys of Moving….
So the move moves forward. We have a deadline which like most deadlines in my life is not a light at the end of a tunnel but is a freight train in the same tunnel as I am.
so far I am a week behind in the packing, moving, mowing of lawns, cleaning e.t.c. All because of some damned lurgy that has attached itself to me. 3 days off work and a weekend and I still don’t feel that much better. Although to my credit I did toss and turn for hours last night and in between coughing fits thought about all the work that I had to do at work coupled with all the work that I had to do at home.
So over the weekend I had to obtain a bank cheque or money order for the bond. No probs I think, I will stop passed the post office get a money order and then go passed medicare, then get petrol and still be home in time to see some of the 2020 coverage on ABC2. Fine I watched the coverage of 2020 on ABC 2, yes I am that sad. I was also peved that there was a V8 race on this weekend as well and I don’t have picture in picture on my tv set or I could have watched both. Sadley I stuck with 2020. I should have more to say on 2020 like most people I am sure once I have read through and seen what people did and did not talk about.
Which brings me to one point. Yesterday coverage of the v8’s on 7 didn’t start until 2 and the race until 4ish, of course with the time zone difference that would mean 6 in NZ. Which is wasn’t. How hard is to to show an international event life? Anyway where was I.
Oh yes my frantic running around. Stop at post office, as for money order, only to be told that money orders can only be made for $1000 max. Great, so I can get 2 money orders, pay two money order fees and risk the real estate agent screwing it up or go to the bank and get a bank cheque. What is with Australian Post and come to think of it the rental companies. Given how much rents have gone up unless you are paying less than $200 p/w you can’t get a money order for the rent.
So I go to the bank, the drop pass medicare to claim my $30 back from the $60 I outlayed at the doctors for a whole 5 minutes to get a medical cert for work. I am in the wrong game for earning money that is. I should set up a business that dispense medical certs. All I have to do is look at people say yes or no, charge them $30 for 5 minutes and they have saved money and I have made lots of it.
So that was yesterday. Today consisted of a slight increase in energy output. I managed to get a little bit of gardening done (still have to mow the lawns, but between coughing and more coughing, a dusty lawn mower is not going to do be a lot of good.), when then second joy of moving house arose. Whilst I was out trying to find boxes for moving (aka Dan Murphys) we had a visitor. My beloved was at home working away in the storage cupboard (or second bedroom if you belive the real estate hype) when she noticed some one about to look in the window.
Evidently it is ok to walk into a property that has been advertised on the internet as if it was your own. Regardless of whether or not you still live there or have any rights. See I think that is just plain rude. After being informed that while yes the house is for rent, it wont be open for inspection for another week or so and can you please get of my property now, not a single apology was to be heard. I am hoping that this couple do turn up to the inspection so I can follow them home to their house and start walking around. Evidently it may be in the market shortly.
Carpet Cleaning in the modern world
Year and and years and years ago (yes it was a long time ago).. So long ago it was even before George Lucas ruined star wars with ep 1, I saw a job add that I went along to the “Sales Pitch” for. It took them nearly 45 minutes to even say what the product was. Turned out it was a Kirby Vacuum Cleaner sales job. At which point I got up and so did most of the other people in the room.
So now much time has progressed since then, my childhood memories have been distorted by the whole eps 1-3 saga and I have grown up a lot more and have a real job where I don’t sell either my soul or little old ladies $2000 cleaners that they never needed or wanted. But I digress.
We as you may be aware are moving house… all fun and games I must say, especially given that I was going to spend this week packing and not lying on the couch dying of man flu as I have. So I go out and check the mail. Yesterday we received something I thought was just a bit of a coincidence being a postcard type thing for carpet cleaning. I did notice that it did have a stamp on it, but it was address “to the tenant” so I presumed it was just a bit of junk mail.
Today we get 4 more carpet cleaning letters (ok it was only 3, one of the companies sent us two letters). Now hats off to them for proactive marketing I think. Some more office worker must be sitting in a very dark closet that smells like carpet cleaning fluid all day surfing the web looking for new places that have come on the market. Then if they are not high enough already then spend hours licking envelopes and stamps to send out carpet cleaning flyer’s to people who are moving.
Now this would all be great and dandy bar one little point….. We DON’T HAVE CARPET. The house has polished floor board through out.. All very nice and shiny mind you, however I don’t think that they would cope with having a carpet cleaning machine run over them.
So somewhere there are people who have wasted a whole lot of time effort and licking of envelopes for nothing…. but then if I was stuck in a closet sniffing carpet cleaning fluids all day I might just send out letters to anyone just so i could walk to the post office for 5 minutes.
