Nah, they were young girls dressed in 50's clothes from the opp shop by the look of 'em...
The food though was fantastic. Best savoury omelette I've ever had.
It's getting hot here now, it was hard work driving back to Hervey Bay with no air con in the old girl.
I blew up my '66 Le Mans driving across the Nevada desert between Tonopah and Goldfield. No AC, but 143 MPH with the windows down does tend to evaporate your sweat...right up until the rods start knocking.
The rebuild by the person I bought it from was a bit less than stellar. By the same token, I've had two other cars (a '69 Camaro, and a '65 Malibu), both powered by 327 CI SBCs that could turn 140+ without grenading. You can wind an SBC WAY up, even without a lot of serious prep.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That kind of speed will stress any engine with a 1 to 1 final drive ratio.
At least I had the common sense to install an AOD in this thing due to the regular freeway use.
But with thongs on (Aussie thongs, you perverts! (flip flops)), my feet were burning...

I'm in a purgy mood.
Who needs purging?
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

Football, beer, and bourbon. Sampling a budget entry, Evan Williams black label. Not quite a sipper, but surprising for the money.

Buying myself an early Christmas present. I wanted Civ VI, and read that all you really need is the base game plus one DLC, but that's almost as much as the bundle, so I just got the works.

Just finished processing payroll for the week. I've been able to cut the time it takes in half in the last couple months. It's one of the most convoluted payroll setups I have ever seen.
About 40 people will be happy Friday morning when they get their pay.

Taking a break from cooking. I am working on the chili that I've been planning. Peppers and onions chopped up. Need to chop the hot peppers and mince the garlic and then I'll be ready to cook.

At work.
Engaged in interesting times.
Possibly more information when I'm not at work.
