Weekend finishing waaayy to quickly!
God bless Labor Day![]()
As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

Just got the quote for the injector pump and other repairs needed for the cape trip and hope the missus is in a good mood when she gets home and I tell her $4600 ish .
I did lash out a little on getting a boost compensated pump though and just about every rubber bush on the suspension is rooted , might have to keep the old girl now .

Flat battery this morning ffs. Nothing else has gone right today either... Oh well it's almost over lol

What made me angry today? You might well bl**dy ask!
Parallel parked at a pay meter in Launceston for a quick supermarket stop en route to a pre-arranged hospital appointment. We had just enough time to stop & pick up a few needed groceries. No-one parked in front of us or behind us.
Returned to the car to find that a pair of utter complete d*ckwads have boxed us in. No more than 300mm gap at either end. Meter says the BMW in front's time has expired (probably never paid) & the motorhome at the back has another 40 minutes.
Although difficult I resisted the urge to ram either of them!
MrsTea takes the numbers & descriptions of the vehicles & heads off to the supermarket to get them to announce over the PA that the owners of the offending vehicles needed to return to their vehicle immediately. In the meantime I phone the hospital to tell them of our predicament & that we will likely be running late. They agree to switch us with next appointment, but if we can't get there within the next 45 minutes will have to re-schedule. We arranged this a couple of weeks ago & have no desire to re-schedule or to extend our time in Launceston. Sh*t!
BMW d*ckwad in front comes back unseen by me whilst I'm on the phone & takes off.
Just as I notice the car n front has gone, D*ckwad No.2 in the motorhome together with his wife return. I verbally accost him & tell him what I think of his inconsiderate nature just as MrsTea returns, saying much the same to the wife. D*ckwad number 2, instead of apologising tries to argue that he had every right as he was within the white lines. I saw red, but managed to refrain from abusing him, instead just instructing him very loudly not to argue with me as he was clearly in the wrong. The front of his vehicle was overhanging the white line between his vehicle & ours by around 300mm & at his rear by more than a metre. I gave him no opportunity to respond, instead jumped in the Patrol & reversed to within a 100mm of his bumper & sat there for a short time before leaving.
Thankfully we just managed to arrive in time for the switched appointment & no rescheduling was needed.
Some people are just plain inconsiderate but at least one of the b*astards knew it this arvo. Grrrr!
