Glenn's Ramblings

Today I had a day off work as Megan had to go to the dentist for surgery!
That went all well

I was meant to pay for and pick up my scooter today however I transferred the funds from one bank to another on Friday, i thought it a good idea to keep it separate...... Anyway of course the funds were showing up but NOT available. !@#$%%^&^& I thought, I marched off to the bank and was told I had done it as a Auto payment which means it takes 48hrs to clear.
CRAP I thought, this day and age what the hell.

Due to my moped being a right off I went to hand in my rego plate and get my refund.... No refund I find !@@##$$%%^^ What the hell is up with today

I have had enough so I'm having a bloody drink ready for tomorrow as another day at the office.....

I will have to pay and pick up my scooter on Friday afternoon Bugger!

What a day!

Hi ya guys,
Well you may already know who is now running our country.... National!
I have to admit I didn't vote. Busy and I admit who the hell do you vote for?
There all the same and i think it will always be between National and Labour.

Anyway I have had a good reasonable year with a change in direction with my job and enjoying other things.

I'm looking forward to the added responsibility's in my job and looking forward to getting me scooter next weekend

Road hogs!

Cant wait for the Kiwiz to return in Feb and only hope they don't become hermits again for as long as last time lol

Looking forward to catching up with the niece on Tuesday as I have day off so looking forward to that. Megan has a dentist appointment that day so going to support her.

Had a good day today with a lot of gardening both today and yesterday as the weather (WX) has been great over this weekend. Mind you it is starting to become overcast now however it is still fairly warm so that's something.

Having a couple of beers at the moment and there going down well.
Need to loose weight though but what the hell aye......

Christmas just around the corner and I think I'm looking forward to that lol
The grand daughter is starting to grow fast although I like that cause she's getting a little use to me now. She's a cute little bugger.

Ok that's it from me so laugh and smile cause life is too short not too.
Oh yeah we went to Ma's today and caught up with them, Dad is looking all good and really chatty so that's a bonus.

Till next time!

Hi all a few things have taken place this week...

Firstly I have found I have been successful with the new job and start hopefully on the 17th of this month.
Looking forward to this so all in all great stuff

Yes you guessed it the marathon was bloody great although we came last we bloody enjoyed it, all the guys done really well to finish up and it was a good day had by all. Food at the end was great (Well done to the cooks)

Later in the week I finally had good news that I have been paid out for my moped About bloody time I thought.
Anyway I have received the money and have decided on a scooter rather than a moped this means I have gone from the 50cc to a BIG lol 150cc scooter, this is of course classed as a motor bike (anything over a 50cc) so this means I have to get a bike license this brasses me off a little as when living in Australia I had a bike license but let it lapse before returning to New Zealand

Anyway at least this has a little more power and I will have to sort my shite out and pull finger to get a license, in the mean time I will chance it!

Had a BBQ lunch with the wife while the kids went to Orewa today so that was really enjoyable as the WX has been great today.
Ended up doing the lawns and some gardening so I feel buggered right now, Probably the drink too

Anyway that's it from me so smile..... Dammit!

Tomorrow is the day for the Auckland Marathon, starting at 7am in the city which means I have to get up at 5:30am so I can get to work and get the clients up That will be hard.

Went off to the bike shop this morning so Deb can get her bike serviced and I complained about mine surging and not getting any faster than 60k's

They serviced Deb's while they also made us a coffee Looked at mine and stripped the carb down and cleaned it, new spark plug and off went the young fellow to test, Yep all good although he stated it wont go over 60k's and wasn't sure why....

Thought would sort it later cause I'm still waiting on insurance, anyway on our way home almost home my bike started to make a hell of a noise, Shit I turned around and no guts to it either the smell was weird.
Got to the shop and they pulled a cover off and hell a nut had come off almost, this is to the drive belt.

Bloody hot as and rubber everywhere
All sorted but due to the heat it has buggered the drive belt as it's stretched. Goes a lot faster though lol can't ride it in case it snaps so again I'm back to one of the spare four stroke bikes lol

Not going to do anything at the moment as the insurance company hasn't stated what there doing yet I don't want to spent any money on a service if there going to write it off.

Happy happy joy joy I say.

Just cant wiat till tomorrow NOT!

Keep smiling
