Everything’s computer…

Surely not Winston Peters seeing which way the wind is blowing a year out from an election and trying to subtly plant seeds for an about-face? 😂

Wellington is a treat.
Been wondering what the walking tracks up the back of our place were, so went up for a nosey.
Turns out they’ve extended Skyline to here now, which is the perfect excuse to smash it again this summer 💪

Reckons he drives trucks😂

Thoughts and prayers to all the dudes who shat on Meg White all those years.
Now she’s a Rock n Roll Hall of Famer, and you’re still rage posting from your Mum’s basement.
Oh, and she’s always been a better drummer than you 😂

A little proud of the fact that I, in my mid-40s, won an office planking comp yesterday by beating a rock climber 20 years my junior, and someone mid-30s who is going for their jiujitsu black belt.
Nice little moment in this quest to get my fitness back😂

My wife got a new Pajero Sport this year (work car, so she doesn’t get a choice) and I’m gobsmacked by how obscenely large it is.
Here I was previously thinking my Octavia was a bit on the large size for my needs…

Quite enjoyed my Duolingo streak hitting 666 days on Halloween 👻

Nicola Willis slams Labour's capital gains tax plan: 'It's a terrible idea' The finance minister says another tax is the last thing the economy needs, but an expert calls it clean and simple .

Who could possibly have predicted the party who tanked the economy to funnel more cash to landlords isn’t in favour of a CGT? 🤷‍♂️

My kid’s school has a dress up day on Thursday. The theme is famous painters or paintings and I’m seriously considering just lining her up outside and throwing random paints at her, then hanging a sign around her neck with ‘Jackson Pollock’ written on it.

Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes The government is lowering its biogenic methane target for the next 25 years and is ruling out agricultural taxes on methane emissions.

Govt full of clowns who’ve spent the last decades kicking the climate change can down the road give it another big boot.
On behalf of all the generations who will have to foot the bill for this bin fire - thanks, fuckwits.

In yet more, entirely predicable, fascist news…

Compounded by how badly we need voices like his in these times😔

Look, these shiny new Antifa laws aren’t going to administer themselves 😵‍💫🫠🤢

In that case, fuck “the way it is” all the way to Mars, Marie.

Designating difficult to define groups as terrorist organisations seems a slippery slope to me.
How easy is it going to be to silence and lock away your opponents by simply labelling them Antifa?

Also, feel for those few remaining WW2 vets waking up to suddenly find out they’re terrorists.

Wait, you’re telling me the President used his spot at a memorial service to walk out to fireworks, and then pre-announced and announcement for a cure for autism?

It’s going to be drinking bleach and finding a way to shine bright light inside the body again, isn’t it…

That tune is a certified banger. I remember watching it on Sesame St as a kid and being absolutely awed by it. Still love it today.

At what point should I be concerned if our voting packs haven’t arrived yet?

Ha! Fair. I’m a Fender guy, but have a massive weakness for a Casino or ES.

Tell you what, I’m going straight down that back-left corner for the semi-hollow, double cut aways😍

Ah! Exactly that! 🙌

Potentially odd request - I need a particular power adapter for an old guitar effects unit, and am having one hell of a time trying to find one.
If anyone know where I can find a 9vAC 1.3A one, with an NZ/AU plug, I would be very grateful.

DC ones are everywhere. AC not so much.

Powered my way through The Narrow Road to the Deep North over the last two nights.
Not sure I’ve watched something that harrowing in a long time. Finished the last ep at about 12:30 last night, but couldn’t bring myself to just go to bed straight after.

Losing Ozzy and Shunsuku Tamiya on the same day is pretty rough😢

Via text?
I got one today too. Always the same line 🤢

Do I want to watch that Ray Chung statement? Couldn’t bring myself to do it last night.

How long before we hear phone-boning causes autism?

Actually, the other highlight was my flight back last night being delayed by almost two hours because someone on the inbound flight had to be removed before takeoff for being too drunk.
Ground crew had to empty the entire luggage hold for their bags and cat, then reload it all before taking off 😂😂

Bizarre behaviour. My point is always that if an emergency vehicle is held up by 30 seconds people can actually die, if Karen and Kevin are late to lunch by 30 seconds absolutely no one is going to notice.

Spent a couple days back in Auckland for work this week.
The highlight definitely being the couple behind me at some lights getting on the horn and gesticulating wildly because I stopped to let a fire engine with full lights and sirens through ahead of me.
Some things never change 😂
