Things that please me - Part 6

[Frank Bunn]

I bought a ute with a towball and i can't reverse. I am going to borrow a trailer and go practice on a Sunday in some parking lot

I'm generally a good driver but I can't even reverse my ride on mower with its mini trailer.

Those big American motorhomes are excessive, but then so are a lot of caravans these days.

I could get around owning something up to a Mercedes Sprinter van which was kitted out.

Spent the day at the cricket with my mate's 22 year old niece and her mate. The kids are alright.

In a caravan park in Bundy. As a novice caravan owner I've been pleased with the number of people who are eager to help with things like reversing my van. Had a few conversations with people doing similar to me, some for quite a while and they're all happy to share their expertise.

Even in first class at caravan park .

But theres plenty of free camp sites.

One camp site here in vic got 2.5 k spots .

If you ever want something that puts you to sleep fairly quickly, the 2005 grand final should do the trick. I fell asleep just as the first quarter was ending. Now awake as fresh as a daisy!

Misplaced my car keys yesterday but found them this morning. What concerns me though is that I didn't think push start cars could start without the key being nearby, but I was driving kms away from where I found them.

Last time I got a flat battery I tried a push start and failed miserably. Computerised ignition == no battery, no startee.

Ive wondered that on the push button cars.
Mrs R olds have one of them.
All new newer cars have sensors everywhere.

One of the pleasurable activities of years gone by was spending hours tinkering with your car and its engine, fixing or adjusting minor and sometimes major bits. Now you wouldn’t dare touch the thing.

I did all my own motorcycle maintenance (very Zen) including stuff like balancing quad carburettors etc. Same with cars until I got a VN Commodore and it had a computer and ignition packs instead of a distributor and thats when I threw in the towel. Still do stuff like oil and filter changes, brake pads etc but nothing engine-related any more. And these days they are designed for ease of manufacturing and assembly, with zero consideration for the poor bastards who have to work on them.
