MY EXCELLENT SUPERCOACH ROAD TRIP
Captains log, Day 5

Like so many at this time of year i found myself trying to strike a healthy compromise between doing the Easter thing and sneaking time to look and fk around with my early season SC team. Somehow this year i allowed myself to be roped into a trip to Hobart when all i really want to do is nothing much. Long story short i've now been on 3 longish day trips to places i've been to multiple times before, so that my GF can visit places she hasnt yet been. Yeah Wonderful. I just lurrrv spending multpile days trying to act remotely interested in another beach or a bunch of trees. What i wasnt prepared for was the amount of roadkill on this trip. Normally there's plenty around Tassie with the obligatory crows trying to peck at it and avoid the 100kph obstacles...but this time it was as if an armada of 1000 Arnie's with mini-guns have gone on a rampage from the back of a hi-lux. Some sort of battle must have occurred down here recently that never made the news back in Sydney.

Anyway, long story short (kind of) i've found a certain escape from the mundane driving and incessant babble coming from the passenger seat...SC has provided blessed relief from " Janine thinks that electric cars have no resale value and is interested in that new audi...what do you think? Maybe we should get Cassie a pot plant for the new place, hmmm ?? ". I do the guy thing and pretend to be interested by catching just enough of what she says to nod my head and say "for sure" at just the right time...BUT, truth is that i found a regular happy place drifting off thinking about whether to bring in Sanders or Sharp, or who to captain this week. Obviously you cannot ever tell your woman that you are thinking about SC whilst she talks, so the only challenge was to make up s**t as the kilometres went by and she would ask "are you listening ? coz u have a blank expression on your face ".
It almost came unstuck when she expected me to take a photo of her on the edge of a 100000 ft drop at a dam after about 3 hours driving. I'm no fan of heights so i just said what any guy would " nahh fk that, take a selfie" Straight away i'm in strife...." ok whats bothering you, sometimes you seem so distant. Just tell me. You can tell me anything " Yeah i know that old trap women like to use, so once again i lied. I had the perfect chance to say "i've decided to go with Sharp and whack the VC on Serong " but i knew that would just create 10 more questions related to whatever the hell a Serong is, and "why do you even care about that s**t" etc etc etc. I dont care much for questions that i cannot answer without sounding like a 12 year old.....so i lied of course, again. Always the best policy believe me.

But wait, you deserve more of this amazing story of mobile Superocaching. On the way back to Hobart from another drive yesterday there was a school bus in front of me. What has that got to do with anything you ask ??? Well for some reason i suddenly wondered if those half a dozen boys at the back of the bus were going to browneye me (coz you know, thats just what i was expecting them to do) when suddenly i got a text message. One of my nephews i was in town to visit texted me " Take the VC off Daicos " I have never loved a relative more at any time in my life than at that moment. I love that young man.
So next stop i secretly texted him back saying how i kept seeing bonkers amounts of roadkill and was calling them "Coffield's" "Reid's" or " hey, that one looks like it could be a Gibcus"...i got back "nahh that powell is a trap". It was at that moment i realised i finally had a family member i could actually talk to about important s**t.
"Who are you texting honey ??"
"Just a guy from work, its nothing "
POTY officially declared. There will be none better. The fact we didn’t hear the end was disappointing. Must have stopped for cake and coffee.
 
What the flying * are these abominations they call footy jumpers? I remember when jumpers were sacrosanct, like the Australian flag. The NRL used to embarrass themselves chopping and changing and now the AFL have folded too. I always criticised Eddie because Collingwood flat out refused to have a clash jumper. I get it now. We’ve sold out soul. This is a ******* disgrace.

A lot of good talent to watch on both sides today.
LDU, Wardlaw, Powell, Pink, Fisher, Lazzaro, Scoops' favourite and bloke he should.have backed in Xerri.
Carroll, McKay, Cerra, Cripps maybe(?)
And Scoops' just hoisted a new Eureka flag on the old man's property.
Everyone's kicked a goal today.
 
I Had him VC rnd 1, had the biggest smile, just not quite enough to take it-looked good at half time thou.

I Had George as well, hope that pays off today.
Hewett?
Backing in a bounce back now that he seems to be fully right?
