Today's toy.

Took a bit of effort to put this together, and it arrived a bit late to get me in the mood for the Tour de France pushbike race, since it's nearly over now, but when the riders reach Paris it'll oversee it.

I'm cheering for Voeckler, he was busy riding while the fancied riders were outdoing themselves with tactics.

If he does finally fail there's a fair chance that Aussie product Cadel Evans may score, so it isn't all bad.
Grace and I have watched all the le tour so far, it does rather ruin body clocks.

Yeah right.

Three Holden's all in a row. The white one is an old light car class Barina, the grey one is a full size class newist Commodore, the red one is a new light car class Barina I spied in the Coles car park the other day.
Does anybody think like me that it's odd for a light class car (though I think this may be marketed as a small class now) to be bigger than the full sized class?

We can be a bent lot of people in Australia, I think our love affair with rear wheel drive is a millstone.
I'm not picking on Holden here either as my Ford is in the very same boat.

At last.

This broke out of my mouth last night, it used to be a third molar "wisdom" (yeah right?) tooth.
It won't be causing Jimmy any more trouble but its multitude of roots will probably continue the angst.

At least the dental waiting list here is long enough now to achieve some budget savings, with teeth like this unable to see the time out, I think it's eight years for me now but it could be closer to a decade (or longer), though I must confess to bucking the system by calling upon their quick pain removal emergency quick fixem service a couple of times, but have since planned on riding out the pain to get a better service done on the few that remain.

Goodie.

They're finally building the pedestrian bridge over Log Creek so residents in this end of town can have safe access to the shops.
It was put in the State budget for last financial year but I'm truly surprised to see it actually being done at all, albeit a touch late. Yippee.

I'm glad these were parked.

Aeroplanes around Ingham all tend to take advantage of the total lack of noise regulations for them, I'm sure because agricultural planes are exempt from noise rules the owners go to the trouble of fitting loudeners to them.

Definitely not looking forward to the air show here in September especially with us close to the airport and there always being a plane crash. Never mind that the noise will spike my blood pressure through the roof.

The Red Baron wannabe here is cute though.

Nearly affordable.

You could even call it reasonably priced.

Crowd.

Nearly 10:30 and still empty, I believe the crowd arrives at 18:00 for a busy night, then tomorrow it gets empty again at about 15:00.
