So this is Christmas...... well, nearly. I can't believe that after today and until the 3rd of Jan, I'll have absolutely NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET! The only place I can visit this lovalicous site is here at work.
Sucky.......
So, anyway, I'm still recovering from Chloe's lets-kick-the-shit-outta-santa video ( Yowzers!! ), but wanna wish yall the best for the holiday season. Drink up, be...

So how's your xmas/NY been??? I haven't been around here much lately (too busy at work/home) so have missed a whole heap of ups and downs.

Just got the ute back on the road after getting the radiator reconditioned and damn it was nice to drive it again. i haven't been driving her to work for about 3 weeks 'cos there's just nowhere to park so I've been having withdrawals...I can't wait until the shopping frenzy has died completely and i can get back into the swing of daily driving...mmmmm biggrin

Our NY was quiet...having a 3yr old means we just spend it at home these days.

That sucks about your car...you really need to be careful who/where you take an old car these days...it seems the fine art of working on them has been lost by many tradesmen who have concentrated on newer technology/vehicles. It just means you have to really research before you commit...I won't take the EH anywhere that doesn't have other old cars in their shop and always make sure the guys working there are owner/drivers of classics themselves.

If you've got the time, check out www.oldholden.com, it's a great site where Holden lovers/enthusiasts swap info/advice/recommendations etc...you'll usually find answers to just about any question you post and even just reading through other people's stuff is helpful as you pick up all sorts of info. Obviously, you don't take everything as gospel, but take what advice you get and use what you think is relevant...there's a lot of pro mechanics/restorers who are members there.

.......... too......... much.......... beer............

....brain........ no longer.......... functioning...........

...... is my journal only visible to like, two people? Talk about paranoia?!?!!! Does smell really emanate over the internet, is that my problem?

Hideous late night shopping last night in a mega shopping centre- Southland, the biggest indoor centre in the southern hemisphere. All I managed to get was blisters from my spnaking new Puma Suedes...

drunken shenanigans last night. I've certainly felt a lot better than I do right now. I cherish those nights when old friends come together, it all starts off a bit kinda shy and slow, and then without even noticing you're smack bang in the middle of a night to remember.
And I wasn't even supposed to be drinking, it being a school night and all,...

Is it just me or has this season turned everyone into a raving lunatic?
My only saving graces are my two girls- one human, one machine.
Work is stressing me out, trying desperately to take it all with a smile on my dial. Don't wanna become a lunatic- well not the bad sort any way. I always say there's no problem with a bit of...

There seems to be a lot of anxiousness generally lately. People are kinda going nuts all over, every where I turn someone's preaching paranoid sermens about the war on terror, or the state of the government.
It's always good to have your opinions regarding these matters, but what good are they without action? If you're so concerned about state/ federal policies, get in there and...

That sounds cool...when she's purring along a year from now you'll wonder how you could ever have considered giving her up.
It ain't cheap (I know that first hand) but hell, it's worth it. I'm looking at spending at least another $20k on the ute over the next 5 years but what a ride it'll be. If I was given the choice of spending the same amount of money buying a new car, or the wheels I'll end up with...it's a no-brainer - the EH all the way. No questions...end of story biggrin

The workshop you're talking about sounds great...just make sure you're involved with every stage of work she goes through. Do your research and speak to others who've done the same before you commit to anything serious. I spend a fair bit of time floating around a website called www.oldholden.com - it's an awesome resource for anything related to Holdens. Not everything on there should be considered gospel but that's the beauty of it...just a whole bunch of people talking about their experiences with old Holdens and offering advice and suggestions and answering any questions you might have. You can get a lot of great info there...check it out.

Cool...good to know she's in safe hands. My ute is heading to the workshop on Friday to try locating the source of a suspicios vibration...sounds like the exhaust, but I can't seem to find it so I need someone to get in underneath her and check it out.

All my friends are getting married.... I'm broke as a joke and a bad one at that..... and I'm second guessing myself far too much lately.
....and I don't think very much of chistmas. Not very much at all. It's looming like a vulture waiting to pick at my already bare bones.
....Just a little morose today.

My best friend lost his licence on the weekend for drink driving, how fucking dumb is that?!?

We went out on Saturday night to The Local ( a bar near my house that is actually called The Local ) where he drinks quite regularly and is good mates with all the bar staff. So much so that he rarely pays for drinks.
Anyway, Saturday night,...

I'm getting pretty sick of not having a computer at home. Of course I could just go get one but the only way that would be possible could land me in jail. So until I have the money ( which seems like it may be never ) I am destined to log in & out of SG here at work, the whole time trying not...

so.... found out the hard way last night that while sport may be sometimes fun to watch- and yes, I suppose it is a good idea to keep relatively fit- it's not much fun actually playing. That is to say it may well be fun for those who are in fact fit and healthy, but for someone like myself who stopped all sporting activity at...

Thanks for popping by and leaving me a comment blush

There most definately will be more on the way. I have one in the planning stages as we speak and am just waiting for my tattoo to finish healing (I just had the final touches done yesterday) so we can get shooting. Yay.

Considering a multiple as well, they look like so much fun.

Anyway, I hope you are feeling better after your not-so-wise physical exertion. I hope you learned your lesson and will take the bench next time perhaps... wink

hahaha yeah, im sure it will get better
its not creepy

Hot damn I love this site! Not only do we all get to look at some of the most amazingly beautiful women on the planet but when we tell them just how beautiful we think they are ( and hundreds of people tell them with every photo shoot ) they actually take the time to thank us for our words!! I'm absolutely amazed they bother...

check out my pics,to see my other car which is getting work done

as for the crappy steering i don't know we had the same problem with our work van, pulled everything apart, including the steering box and tightened and checked everything, and still had the same play while driving, so i don't know, its frustrating when you do all the work and still don't fix the problem. sorry i can't help ya.
