Things that please me - Part 6

We got upgraded from premium economy to business class on a MEL > LA flight back when V Australia was quite new, so we weren't loyal customers or anything. They didn't even tell us we'd been upgraded, they were just profusely apologising that their pyjama supplier hadn't delivered and we...

Years ago I bought a pair of American Eagle jeans in Hong Kong, complete impulse buy. Most comfortable jeans I've ever had, they died a few months ago....

They fit like a glove.

Horse?

Doing a lot of writing at work and the office standard 1920x1080 monitor in portrait mode wasn't cutting it. Word wants to add comments and track-changes shit in a sidebar and it was a mega pain scrolling sideways all the time and I didn't know if the fuzzy words on screen were my eyes or the font. Bought a 4k monitor and its a revelation.

So much so I bought another two for home, and installed just now. Why I didn't upgrade years ago I'll never know.

 

[Gralin]

Yeah a decent size 4k is great no regrets there

 

[gaskin]

Is 4k really that worth it? As I understand it unless you have a high powered PC there is not really any difference between 1440p and 4k.

The other day on my beach visit .
I seen a few blokes one had a massive sea eel was about 2 metres long .
I didn't know what it was at first .
But the diver told me where he got it and said over there is a great spot to dive ..good reefs etc.
And this area over in a different area is quiet swallow lots of weeds etc.

Getting some info at a place I go to lots was a nice surprise.

 

[Gralin]

I know that.

Then your comment makes no sense
There's more real estate on a 4k monitor and you don't need a high powered pc

Have trouble getting tradies around .

Noticed the house up the road getting work done.
Walked up there to see what they doing ..a landscaper .
Asked him to pop over after he was finished for the day.
He did come over, most normally say yes no worries and then noithing.
Gave a rough quote bit more than I wanna pay .
But he seems to know his shite and things are not cheap these days .

Happy to quote for what want done.

Last 3 I called up only asked for number and size of the area ...then they say get wheelbarrow.

Daughter just changed schools. I was worried she'd struggle to make friends so late in the year - she's already made a few and is much happier a few days into her new school than she has been all year.

We are looking to get some paving done
Tradie 1 - nah too complicated (it’s literally a path down the side of the house but too much cutting for his liking)
Tradie 2 - nah too small a job, too much work around atm
Quote 3 Retired tradie - $1000 cash, you buy the pavers and take up what’s there and I can do it end of January


Who knew it would be so hard

I got some concrete done few years back.

Tradie 1 too expensive.
Tradie 2 more expensive.
Tradie 3 saw my labs and run down road shite scared and was double than tradie #4.
Tradie 4 price is right , and they were good with dogs .cheaper with cash .

I want something the same done as you .

Packed down gravel or paving down side of the house and behide the Garage.
I want an extra path to the backyard to take the mower etc ..l will get a gate put in.
I'll prob have extra plants need somewhere for them .
