Same ole work, new projects on the side
Again, it appears that my blogging habits have fallen into disarray - any fewer posts and you'd have to go to Lahey's blog to find more recent news. Lahey, I jest. If I was out running marathons and triathlons and accomplishing half as much as you, I wouldn't bother with a blog at all. Kudos to you.
So now it is evident that I am not running triathlons. Sorry to disappoint anyone that thought that that was where this post was going. In fact, I am relatively inactive of late, mostly due to the weather being stupidly hot. When it's 40+ outside the last thought in your mind is "I'm gonna go for an hour long challenging bike ride." In fight between that one and "grab a cold beer outta the fridge and sit in the aircon watching a DVD", it seems to lose almost every time. But again, I say, do not fear for my health. The weather is getting better here in Alice; cooling down to comfortable at night and the days are at most mid 30's so I shall be getting back into shape.
It's kinda funny that although the seasons have completely reversed (in comparison to Canada as they are looking forward to spring while I am anticipating a lovely autumn) the same months have been sluggish for me... except I'm used to the snow and cold making me lazy as opposed to the heat.
Bush Bus continues to be busy and I get out on the road around once a week. Not quite as often as it was before, but I welcome the work in the shed as there's always new things to learn, especially about engines and mechanics. I spent a bit of time welding the other week which brought back some memories of the tree nursery in Bundaberg where I started work as a labouring backpacker and was promoted to handyman for several months. Good times spent earning money as a problem solver. Those types of challenges every day keep a man's mind sharp and his work enjoyable.
So if that was enough babbling on about nothing, I'll get to the point. I started building a canopy for my ute as a personal challenge and something to keep me out of trouble for a while. I'm hoping to have it down for Easter weekend as the Aileron Bush Rodeo is on and it's always handy to have the extra shade in one of the sunniest places on earth. I'll hopefully be recording this for posterity so the photos can be good for either a gloat or a laugh depending on how it all goes down.
