Something different.... where i've been in da world haha

Image
These are the places where i've been... most of these were in the 80s. Whilst on da subject i still plan to visit OZ at da end of the year. I'm seeing Craig for the new year and then coming home to celebrate my bday... then heading back to OZ to hang with Luke for a few weeks.  That's da plan

The perpetual struggles with cars

If you've been reading my blogs your prob well aware of the fact that neither of ym cars work properly at da moment.  The sentra (white litening) has a dodgy starter solenoid that needs a tap with a hammer every now and then.  The Jeep (wild willy) has a broken clutch pedal (axle holding the assembly togehter has snapped).  These are easy problems to fix if you can get the parts... but of course i can't get the parts which is very annoying indeed.  In the midst of all this i'm using the bike heaps so all is not lost but the weather is pretty bad at da mo which makes cycling very unpleasent indeed which means i've been staying home haha. In other news i will be resuming my archived yearly summaries that i started a few months ago.  I think i'm up to the year 2000 so the next one will be the year 2001... the year i started kitesurfing. Speaking of which due to several factors... ie my cars not going i haven't been able to kite despite pretty good conditions....

fully into holiday mode now

yep just chillin out... eating LOTS of junk food but still been reasonably active.  Making the transition to conservative mode which will fully take effect when i head back to work on da 7th of July.... a quiet, wrapped up and bigger Tuxx will emerge.  I did say earlier on that i planned to bulk up over the winter... well this is it.  I also plan to get back into kitesurfing for this period... and for this it will help if i'm bigger and more able to handle the cold.  At work some ppl expressed delight at me goin on holiday... whether they were joking or not i will prob never know but regardless i've hinted at a more quieter Tuxx that will return after the break.  As for what i wear i will be doing away with the "flirtatious" clothes i've been wearing over the winter... in short i've been dressing like its summer haha.  As i'll be getting biggier and uglier in the next few weeks its not a good idea to wear singlets, jandals and shorts... so yeah very conser...

Holidays

Ok i'm on holidays for 2 weeks now.   I'm still having issues with my cars but shouldn't be too much of a hassle over the hols because i plan to bike most places i plan to head to.  A trip to Waiwera is on da cards but can drive there or maybe even go with Stipe.  Speaking of which i'm sorta going back to church again... but unnofficialy... not at da same level that i used to go back in da 90s.... once in a while for me is ok and only cos of Stipe.

Da Happs haha

Hey i did end up going to that outing the other day.  Jaxx took me.  it was great... had a feed, met Stevie again (um both of them haha).  We are planning a starbux outing in da future.  Speaking of the future i'm on hols in a weeks time.  Its for 2 weeks and i have quite a few things planned.... basically the stuff i've been doing for the last couple of years i'll be squeezing into the space of two weeks.  However there will be flashes of the past as well hopefully.  Along with some things that i've never done before.  But i do need to get my cars sorted.  Whitelitening sorta goes.... once its started it goes fine.... but the solenoid is sticking every now and then and needs a hammer to fix it when it does so.... this is not sustainable and i'm after a new solenoid/starter setup.  I do have a universal solenoid from repco but this could be difficult to install so ideally wanna get the entire setup so i can just stick it in and whammo....

Whitelitening..... half going

White litening.... my white Nissan Sentra is sorta working.  It is not the starter motor itself playing up but the solenoid is sticking.  At the mo i'm hitting it with a hammer every now and then to unstick it.  This ain't permanent solution though and i plan to get a whole new starter unit in the new week.  May even order it today. In other news a former workmate of mine has cancer.  An outing is on for her tonite in the city but of course i can't go as i have no reliable transport.  The only chance of me going is if i go with Jaxx (who may be going).  Pity its in the city and not local... cos then i could have biked. On holiday at the end of next week.  Should be fun.  The main reason why i'm getting my car fixed is so i can use it for some of the things planned for my holidays... which include Waiwera and even some trips to Waihake and even great barrier.  There will also be plenty of living it up at resturants too.... by myself o...

Lots of biking

I'm biking everywhere. still no car.  Wild Willy has a broken clutch pedal and white litening has a broken starter motor i think... will have to make sure.  Heading to a party soon and also gonna take the starter motor out of WL

No cars

Ok winter is here and on its first day i got SOAKED..... no car either.  Both whitelitening and wild willy are munted at da mo.  Will be heading to repco this arvo to check and see if they sell clutch cables.... if no then i'm gonna take it to EB motors.  As for white litening i will need to do some fault finding but looks like something to do with da starter motor... cos the battery seems fine (put in new batt... still doesn't go lol). Anyway bout to head off to work.... using blue thunder of course hehe
