Filled my bike this afternoon ready for next Friday Gippsland trip. When I went to pay for my fuel, there was a guy who had left his wallet home and couldn't pay. Servo staff insisted that he leave his car there until he returned with cash :o. Guy turned to me and asked if I had a spare helmet, and could give him a lift to home and back again. I don't have a spare, so I paid for my fuel,($25) paid his also,($63) and then followed him to his home, about 12 Km out of town.
Guy grabbed his wallet and was so grateful that he insisted that he pay for my fuel as well, rounded the figure out to a neat $100.
(He said it would have cost at least $30 for a cab, and STILL have to drive home after collecting his car..... )

Bonus! :hatwave

Rain forecast for Melbourne on Friday... should make for an interesting ride.
I have decided to bypass the Westgate bridge. After they started roadworks today, traffic delays from western suburbs to the city were more than 2 hours for what is normally 40 mins trip.

random memory... circa 1977,... maybe '78.

En route to Cape Otway from Watsonia Barracks for an Army communications exercise. As we passed through Geelong, we were horrified to see the advertised price of petrol at a servo .... over the weekend, there had been a massive fuel price increase, from 18.9 cents per litre, to 22 cents per litre! 

Imagine filling an empty ST for under $5.30 at those prices ... :rofl

Yeah, BUT

You were getting $6000 per year.  So it's actually dear in proportion to income.

Too right it was dear... and we lost 1500 of that 6000 in income tax....then there was board and quarters, etc...
It's amazing how many people think that Military income is tax free....

I forget the actual cost for R&Q (Rations and Quarters) plus the fact that we had to 'LIVE IN' at the barracks for some courses, and didn't see our wives for maybe 2 or 3 weeks, sometimes 3 months duration for longer exercises... and on top of R&Q, we still had to pay rent for family home...
PLUS the fact that we were only issued 2 uniforms per year, and one pair of boots... we had to buy extras to have enough for daily use..

Free medical, tho... but only for ourselves, not our families.

Can sorta be roughly compared to prison life, except we didn't have free TV and  other benefits.. :grin

This is Australia Post item tracking... with the efficiency of a dead battery.
 About as useful as a USB plug on a garden hose....
 
My new phone, tablet, and modem delivery from Telstra.
 
This was ordered before midday on Thursday 10 Mar
 

.......................
 
Tracking info email received midday Tue 15 Mar
 
Started
Shipping information received by Australia Post 
9:15 am Tue 15 Mar 

.........................................
 
 So, it takes 6 days for Australia Post to START processing a delivery?
...and then another 2 working days for shipping to be APPROVED
by the Post Office??
 
Tracking info email received 7pm Wed 16 Mar
 
Processing
Shipping information approved by Australia Post 
 
 6:22am Wed 16 Mar

 
 Clicking on the link to get an estimated delivery (time / day / year? ) is hopeless, because there is no mention of where it’s posted from, or where the hell it is now, (a week after ordering) and I am off to Gippsland tomorrow morning, so if it IS delivered on Friday, I will not be here to sign for it.
MORE delays, for goods and services that I have already paid for but not received. Maybe I should just ring Telstra and cancel the deal, because the 10 day cooling-off period has almost expired without even sighting the products?
Shame, Telstra and Australia Post.  I can get packages from the USA faster (and probably cheaper) than you can deliver within the state.

 :blu13 I'm hearing ya, i ordered a package on the 7th Feb (not in Oz) but a "FAST" shipping Chinese company, ask them 1 week later where my package is? they said use your tracking number. used it and since 7th of Feb shows it still sitting in a Chinese mailing centre... :well :phone :CB-- :|||| maybe next month it might arrive :fp "FAST SHIPPING"? a dead snail would be faster. these companies once they get your money, they don't care after that :-((( :-(((  :blu13left

Rain flurries and squalls in western Vic... and a lot more coming from the northwest.

Definitely going to be a wet day of travelling tomorrow.

Rain set in about 11pm, only about 4 mm in the past 4 hours, but its getting heavier.

http://www.weatherzone.com.au/radar/sa/mt-gambier

Looks like I will be travelling with it all the way through, and past Melbourne in the wet. Meh!
More chaos and delays on the Westgate yesterday, so I will skirt around the northern burbs through Coburg / Doncaster /Ringwood and cut south to the Monash freeway from there. A half hour extra travelling is still better than 2+ hours boring delay sitting on the Westgate in the rain.
Bike is fueled, packed, and ready to go around 8.30am Should pass through Ballarat around 11.30 and Ringwood roughly 2pm, and destination south of Drouin at 3.30 pm. 530 km trip, about an extra 30 km more than my usual route.

Minor divert on the return trip Sunday to meet jdbiker, and add some goodies to his computer :like
