    Just one of those days

    I sold a clutch master and slave for a 85 classic Rangie, going on vin number the correct parts were supplied.

    Get a call it doesn't fit. after some enquiries to find out why it seems the engine was swapped to a later 3.9 and the clutch pedal system change and a later VIN MA on disco master was fitted,
    Later another call, the slave don't fit, find out a R380 was fitted. Bloody hybrids, this is why I hate old RRC, seems every one has played with them. lol
    Kooka thought it was a good laugh though when he saw me.

    He appears to have his beady eyes on your top pocket where you keep you wallet & as soon as it is back, he'll have it away.


    I don't have that problem with Fire Tails but I do watch out for the Black Yellow Tail Parrots & Sulphur Crests.

    So, who is the handsome fella holding up the laugher bird? Good to see you at least looking so well Mario.

    If you didn't have us weird RRC owners to service, you'd have "almost" nothing to complain about, and then you'd probably pester the lovely Heather.

    He or she is a loner comes for a feed of mince meat, disappears for 6 months then comes back, he swoops form out of nowhere and lands on us once we go out the back door. There is another bunch of 12 they are ring ins and when there are around this one is not to be seen , probably been kicked out of the tribe. The cockatoos are a nuisance, when your at the kitchen sink they come and chew the window frame and eye ball you, not cute anymore, some one is feeding them locally which is against council rules due to property damage they cause around here

    I wish we had local kooks, we have a few wedgies that come every year for a few weeks they are massive!
    Cockatoos are the worst, my wife feeds one... first it was all "ohh look Jim at the cockie he keeps coming to say hello" and I was like "don't feed him you will never get rid of him!" Now he comes at the crack of dawn screaming his head off, every hour or so screaming at the window or landing on the screen door. He brings his mates every now and then.... about 50 of them, they have destroyed the aerial and bent the gutters from their weight. The local magpie's I can live with, they don't swoop us or anything now. They just come for a bit of mince every now and then, they take it from our hands.
    It's good having local matesJust one of those days
    Hope you managed to get your bathroom floor sorted!
    Cheers Jim
