    Wow, wild day… Drove past a servo and saw a ton of smoke. Called 000 and chucked a U turn and then the smoke was all gone. Decided to hop on the FRV radio, and apparently it was caused by a diesel generator for a pressure washer and was more or less just a puff of smoke

        Yeah. But she didn’t know how to spell Maribyrnong and honestly neither do I. I had maps open since I didn’t know the address so I was able to read off of that.

        Interestingly it looked like the liberty next door had been burnt in a fire too, some of the petrol pumps were a bit charred and the entrances were all blocked off

            It’s the “byrnong” part that always gets me. Mari…benong? Binong? Bingbong?

              Mari-byr-nong

              don’t ever live there, the soil is a toxic waste hazard, every evil shit there is, is there, not sure about ionising radiation but it wouldn’t surprise me

              the river too

    Gym session this evening and had some young dude call me ‘sir’.

    I was puzzled until my son informed me that the young bloke was probably scared of me.

    Perhaps I should learn to smile more.

    New mouse day. Logitech G502 Hero. Seems okay, hope it lasts longer than the Razer’s I’ve been using the last few years. I’m heavy handed, I feel I’m heavy everything, I wear stuff out.

      Very nice, hope it’s a good mouse, I’ve got a G600 myself and love it and it’s lasted ages for me.

          I’ve got the G700 which only has 3 buttons on the side (but is otherwise much the same) and it’s pretty good, but I think I would struggle with more buttons. I have a game pad I can use for the other hand which works well in combination with the mouse for PC games, but I usually have to write myself out customised instructions for each game so I can figure out what I’m doing.

            I’ve got some Alienware something or another and it has 3 buttons on the side and 1 below the scroll wheel for changing DPI (I think) and I don’t use any of them. The DPI thing changes the mouse speed, but got jammed and started doing it randomly which pissed me off so I turned it off. 1 of the side buttons goes forward in chrome and the other goes back, but I have no clue what the other does

          Yep, that’s the one, some are hard to reach but with how many there that I could reach, they were pretty handy for some games.

            My thumb is brutal on the side of mice. I mostly play action games so I reckon I engage some kind of unconscious power grip when the red mist takes over. My last two mice I’ve worn in the side, and a bit busted middle click a bit.

    Rang up my mechanic place and they said they’d do the parking light on the opposite side for 20 so that’s 50 all up excluding any extra time due to difficulties.

    At this stage I’m hoping to sort it out in a week’s time, hope I’m able to hold out till then.

      That sounds pretty reasonable. I paid just over $42 to buy 2 headlight globes at Supercheap (and that was only special) recently.

            Oh that’s fairly lucky, I wish I could have replaced them myself but it seems the price my mechanic was offering isn’t too bad in the end, cheaper than if I went with Supercheap Auto and did it through their Fitting service.

      Yeah I now wake up every day between 5:30 and 6:30 pretty naturally. I reckon as long as you get up and do some basic wake up thing you can then go back to bed and not wreck the habit. I do that on weekends.
