There’s been a bit of a quitter revolution around the place recently, firstly Guru made a stealthy move and got out of the building without actually telling anyone where he is going. Everyone has been a bit soft and no-one beat it out of him, where as if anyone really cared for him, they would do incase he was actually brainwashed by some hippies and is really off to join the circus.
Such an indirect form of punishment, which is remarkably similar to a form of celibration, example below.
Secondly, Angry went and quit on life and got married, no one misbehaved at all during the wedding, soft all round. Guru did his best to take the limelight and copped a full frontal assult from the paparazzi. One day of being the center of attention was not enough for him.
Married people seem to exhume some sort of positive message about being married, but when you break it all down, just read between the lines :) Pick the married person in the picture below.
On a serious note, an awesome wedding, as weddings go. If I had one and it went that well, I’d be happy….
Harden the Fuck Up!

No posts for a while I’ve been slack on the 60, found a guy that wants the chassis and will take the tub, and a few bits, I just need to polish off the dissasembly and give him a call. I was motivated until I got sent to the ass end of the American mid west via LAX.
Boise, Idaho is a unique place and reminds me of Dubbo just with snow.. or like Hobart with less something and more hicks and lots of SUV’s. They have several cool things there besides trailer parks. Idaho has its own air force! Just imagine of they gave Victoria planes with guns. They have e85, 85% ethanol fuel, and most car vendors supply chips for free if you wish to run it. E10 is there if you decide you only want a little bit of ethanol, make you feel better about driving the v8 (or v10!). There is biodiesel and premium biodiesel, I forgot to ask about the difference.
I was busy with the engagements that I missed out on to making it to Cabelas which was sad as it would have been a good place to see some silly 10ft SOA’d pickups in the car park.
After a bender of an evening at the local “edge of town” style of bar and a morning of recovery listening to presentations from my hosts (Sorry I signed a NDA), we headed to the Boise International Airport, were reminded 30 times that the current threat level is Orange via the PA, and jumped on another Canadaair jet off to San Francisco (hooray).
San Franciso was amazing particularly after LAX and Boise it was good to go somewhere that wasn’t backwards. The host (Sorry-NDA) put us in a very nice hotel in the center of the action. Action was not very hard to find but unfortunatly as soon as we spotted man on man tounge action we hit the streets to find somewhere we could excerise a little more personal choice.
The next morning we hit the road to Palo Alto to visit the hosts (Sorry-NDA) labs. On the way we saw the house where lots of Dynasty was filmed, and the longest building of some sort which was actually some massive particle accellerator. Palo Alto is pretty cool but reminded me of the Sunshine Coast without the beach. Lots of relaxed looking university like people walking around or driving Porsches.
So we headed back to San Francisco and headed down to the wharves for a feed, checked out the sea lions next to the resturant, ate and headed over to Alcatraz for a quick tour, and headed back home. Wasn’t there very long but it was good to be home. It’s kinda freaky seeing George W Bush pictures on the walls.

I took a few weeks off shortly after my last post and started by flying down to Melbourne with IronPaw and helping partially reassemble and drive a Landcruiser back to Brisbane.
Mostly uneventful (that’s a good thing when driving random unregestered vechicles a long way), we had to stop only a few times to adjust the fan shroud which was rubbing. We saw only 2 police cars on the Newell highway (2000+ kilometers), which was unusual as it was almost the pagan holiday and we drove across half the country. We swagged it in
Gilgandra overnight and got into Brisbane early the next day, where 2 police cars drove behind us (in 40 kilometers), but neither noticed or cared about the lack of plates and registration on the car. And I thought for sure we would have our papers looked at.
Last week I went to Fraser Island with Angry and SJ. The fishing was soft as there was a 2m easterly swell and 20 knot winds, but if you’ve been to Fraser (there’s a few I haven’t yet convinced to come up – you know who you are) you know that it is awesome every time no matter the weather.
Angry made friends with a local snake who started licking his foot when he was cooking dinner, which we now know was a
Acanthophis antarcticus, or Death Adder.
I played probably 20 hours of Scarface in between, good stuff.
