Macaroni Wheels?

Square wheels worked better than Triangular wheels.
Then someone tried Pentagons, then Hexagons, and so evolved the Circular wheel.

... or maybe they didn't consult the Mathematicians. That's the other theory.
Not my favourite.

its so funny how we all like the same music - obviously, I like this last Neil Young one (It's called Natural Beauty) too - I did listen to it for a whole year living in the bed in the back of my pickup truck though so it sort of reminds me of living on the road and not to be honest the greatest parts - flat tires, asphalt, rain, truck stop showers and so forth. I still love the song though - what a pretty trail song - thanks for posting

OK.
Update time.
After 6 months of telling me that I can have 7 months leave without pay, my boss told me a few days ago that Melbourne administration have told him they can't keep my job open that long.
After discussion with my wonderful wife, we decided that we are in a position that I can cease fulltime work.
I may return to some kind of employment after I return although I am not motivated to do so even before my hike, but we have no definite plans and I am certainly not looking for fulltime work again.
At most I will do some oddjobs or very short term work. Most likely I will do some hobby/craft things that make some money when we do market stalls.
So for want of a better term I am "retiring" on 5th March.
I am very happy.;):D

I'd take that! ( the 'retiring' part that is. Cartoon funny too!).

Thanks Milkman!!
I was going to post that link but had the pic instead.
My boss seems genuinely p#####d that he can't give me the leave and wants me to promise to come around as soon as I get back but I think I will only do so to say "Hi - I did it!".:D
In the meantime I am being left for my last 8 weeks on my preferred run - the long country one.
I am working 6 day weeks except for 2 more weekends that my wife and I are doing market stalls.

So what do you sell at your stall?

01-08-2013, 20:53
Sounds like you got a graet wife. I have too myself. I retired 18 months ago. It was at a 50% rate. My wife and I discussed it and she has long known my dream and said just quit the sock mill and get ready to go. So that's what I did. The difference at 50% now and 100% at 65 is the same till age 75. Only after that does it start to pay more. But who's to say if I make it that far or what physical shape I'd be in. I'm not the pillar of physical fitness, but right now I'm in good enough shape to give it a go.

That's my plan, to go out with 50% sometime within the next 5 years. Hopefully 3. Makes sense to me to enjoy my time. I can say "Would you like fries with that?" if needed.

on the 2nd floor they had a vip lounge with a jukebox, had everything from bobby darin to buzzccks. i fed a roll of quarters in and played sinatras witchcraft 40 times in a row. at first there was a lot of cursing and grumbling, after 4 or 5 times people started snapping their fingers, 9 or 10 times they were starting to move their feet and after about 15 times they were singing out the choruses like lunatics. it was a bizarre surreal scene with guyss and girls with mohawks and safety pins, hot leatherettes all dancing cheek to cheek to frankie

Is it the approaching start of the NOBO thru-hiker season that has all the people asking crazy questions now or what???? I'd list two current ones most deserving of the Interrogative Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot over award but but I don't want to start a war on WB. Do they not know that one can and "may" search WB for this kind of thing or do they imagine they are the first person to ask this question??? I'm actually embarrassed for them.

Why search when you are at that relative "infant" stage where you still think the world revolves around you. Yes, it probably never phases them that some one has probably asked the same question (perhaps many times) before. It is entertaining though if you are in the correct mindset.

Serious thread drift action so I won't go there, ever. Besides, it's not funny so it doesn't belong in the humor thread, anyway. :)

I suspect his book on AT is closer to reality than his one on Oz.
Love his work generally but didn't like his book on us. Saw too many flaws in his facts.

I understand that in spite of their cuddly appearance, they're actually kind of ill-tempered.

They have few predators because Oz has few large predators and most we do have don't climb.

he shows me a tape one day, and say's "hey, do you like these guy's ?"I says yeah there awesome. He says's do you want to hear em? sure i say's. So he sticks the 8 track in his mouth, and starts hummin the intro to sweet home Alabama..

The cafe is boosting WB donating member numbers so I thing the 'gator and his mates are happyish.

Hey while Socks is out I have a topic for contribution...
I was talking to Daniel about the music HB and others are posting and mentioned the Boss.
You guys are gunna love him - he never ceases to amaze me.
He starts quoting a song (Downward Bound or similar?) and then fires up a YouTube clip and shows me how he knows all the words up to a point that it becomes impossible to work out what Bruce is saying - comes across as gibberish.
(By the way he know Les Miserables pretty well word for word - he amazes me)
He describes the song as one of Bruces best and worst because he loves the lyrics and then hates it because he can't follow them through.

So my thought for everyone while we're on the music clip bandwagon around here is what song do you know that gives you the greatest disappointment during it.

For me it's Neil Diamond and that fantastic opening on Hot August Night which builds up and up and then he starts singing "dah dah di dee or some inane rubbish like that.

Nothing comes to mind right off the top of my head- I have Sirius XM radio in my car. I LOVE IT!! The skies the limit on what kind of music you can listen too. I love 70's on 7 (commercial free) It's the music I grew up with. :) I really don't like the songs that were "overplayed". I just got so tired of hearing them back then. Even when I hear them now, I can't listen.

I have a wide range I like but mostly like stuff sung by the people that wrote it I've found.
Love emotion in a song.
Told my family I want them to work out how to play this at my funeral (full album version only).

I believe the lyrics refer to the green running down from the singer crying while looking at the park, but I have been known to be wrong....;)

That's true Oz... I have to work at holding my speed down as it is. ;) I like the stereo system in my car- I crank it up!! :)

I also like ones that write their own songs. I really like Gilbert O'Sullivan. He is talented in my opinion.
You are so funny... I'm listening to your "funeral song" now. :)

Just thinking how quick things change these days. Vinal records were 40 years, cassettes, 10-15, 8-Track 5-10? CD, DVD,Blue Ray

When I was little my dad used to listen to music he had on reel to reel tapes. He also was a big user of BetaMax (Sony has superior quality) until it became obvious that VHS had the market (due to RCA being willing to liscence it to others).

I think I have caused Daniel to have a strange taste in music for his age.
He often listens to my "fuddy duddy" radio stations even when on his own.

Lesson for new entrepreneurs, proprietory control ensures larger returns per unit but licensing agreements ensures volume sales....:D

Is that what that means? I never knew! That makes a lot more sense than... you know. Cake. Rain. (Not that cake in the rain wouldn't be tragic. As addicted to sugar as I am, I'd definitely shed a tear.)
