Random stuff

This weekend I helped my good friend Ed take some stuff to the TIP (dump), buy some material for a retaining wall in his garden (yard), and general man stuff. The dump in Brisbane is awesome. You drive up to a weigh station, they weigh you going in, you drive into the big building in the pics, throw your trash into the pit Mad Max style, a giant bulldozer crushes things in front of your eyes and pushes it around all transformer like, then you drive out, they weigh you, and you pay per the kg you unloaded. It's like an orchestrated ritual of testosterone and human waste all mixed in together into one harmonious right of passage for all Australian males.

Exhibit A, Ed:

Exhibit B thru Z:

In another demonstration of Australian bureaucracy and feaux regulation here is a Brisbane pedestrian with a license plate:

dark & stormy night

It's been a little stormy around here lately... here's a video I took of the third storm in five days from my apartment...

My thoughts are with Becc (regular commentor here) who's house and pool and garden and shed have been hit by the hardest of the storms here. Look on YouTube for more crazy video, here's one that's quite amazing. The Gap is a suburb in Brisbane where Becc lives...

Howzatt

Here are morecricket photos... I won $53 on $20 for my team winning. I feel too far away from Vegas.

On course

Today for work I went to a session held at the company's Brisbane head office in an area called South Bank. They've moved into a brand new building that is modern and ergonomic and all that good stuff. Best part was I got to take the very to and fro as well as walk thru the gardens at SB.

Gabba

I've got $20 on the all-stars, it'll pay $53 if Gilly hits for a half a ton.

Lest we forget

Skipped out at lunch to attend Remembrance Day services in Brisbane and was able to wear a poppy pin I've had ever since a trip to the Canadian War Cemetery in Holden, Netherlands.
