Hmmm .... went to rack & ruin

Hmmm .... went to rack & ruin after medically recommended treatments. I see a pattern here. :-)*

Actually I blew the bottom disc ( L5/S1 ) some 16 years ago, when the car flipped as I swung to avoid a head-on with a crazy/drugged driver. Could have been worse. Could be dead now. The neurosurgeon said he could EITHER operate and I would spend six weeks in bed/traction, OR I could just spend six weeks in bed/traction. So I remain untouched by a scalpel. Now I cannot swing a golf club ( though it's arguable as to whether I could beforehand ).

Friends come and go, but enemies and injuries accumulate! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Err .... just yesterday ? That's quite a few for a mere hour and ten minutes !

* this is the sort of opinion that you get for nothing : all embracing, knowledgeable but utterly useless ! A paid professional opinion is exactly the same except for the transfer of funds. That, of course, is useful ....

( edit ) We have a Tarbosaurus at Melbourne Museum which initially interested me greatly because I thought it was Turbosaurus. I mean 'Alarming Lizard' is a reasonable name indeed .... but what about MitsubishiLancerRalliArtosaurus ? [ This is what one buys if one can't afford an Evo ie. me ... ]

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Now this is my in your dreams

Now this is my in your dreams car. Apart from merely paying about $8K AUD in luxury car tax, you get two turbos, an amazing set of dual-disc brakes per wheel, shockers the rally guys use, and some very specialised sway and torsion bars. Plus some nice bling.

The biggest problem with this type of car is driver overconfidence. It's the sort of car that takes you closer to the edge of physics and thus with almost no warning that you're about to exceed limits. So the trick is to drive sedately knowing that you have exceptional all weather margins. This is the car for those who suspect all other road users of constant malfeasance ..... moi

Cheers, Mike.

As long as we are dreaming mine is this one: [url}http://auto.ferrari.com/en_EN/sports-cars-models/car-range/458-spider/[/url] I am waiting to hit the lottery to buy it though!

It is now 7:30AM, far from Jager time, but my tomatoes are over 6 feet tall now and the hot pepper bush has taken off for some reason and is getting bigger! The squirrels have been staying away as I have been picking the ripe ones regularly, the chipmunks though are back this year, but I have scared the bejesus out of a couple of them and they may not come back. As for the bunny rabbit, a full grown one at that, he just sat there in the yard and let me plink him with my airsoft pellets, only moving a few inches when I hit his head. When I hit him in the body he didn't move except to acknowledge the hit. the plastic pellets don't go fast enough to penetrate any skin, they just scare the animals away. I have four 15 round clips and can swap them pretty quickly, so alot of pellets can come there way in a hurry. My intention is not to kill them, just to make them uncomfortable when they come into my yard, thus making other peoples gardens more appealing.

If this had been a time and not a date, a colon would have been used as in 15:20 and 16:30.So in theory you are talking about 110 years not 110 minutes.

My mind was having a skewed day! :-)

I believe that was also a bad time in history to be a magical practitioner also. They were so witchist back then !

Ah, a Ferrari Spider. If you have to ask 'how much?' then you can't afford it. :-)

I can either buy one or keep the money and live off of it....my wife says I have to keep the money to live off of! I quit working almost 13 years ago now, due to injuries incurred on the job, and recently got a lump sum payout of my retirement monies that I now have to live off of until I no longer inhabit this Earth. I have it professionally invested with what I think is good people working for a good company and am hoping all will be just fine. That's the plan anyway and it seems to be working as I am making more money each month them I am spending right now!! The lady SWEARS she is no Bernie Maddoff and will NOT steal my money, I am not sure I have enough to steal anyway!! Stealing means a chance of getting caught, if you don't steal enough then whats the point if you do get caught?!!

I think I am WINNING!!!
