the Devo thread!!

Avatar

Mines not so much a devo but more of a pissed off with a bit of devo mixed in.
Is anywhere else in this fine land having an issue with moths at the moment or is it just the bellarine peninsula in vic?? Every day on my way to work, my poor little cube slaughters at least 100 of the stupid flying bastards as they smash into my windscreen and car front. Im usually not a car washer and will go months perhaps even years without busting out a bucket and rag but due to the amount of flying dust covered turds in the air in the last couple of weeks, I’ve had visit the carwash at least once a week due to their a-hole bug guts covering everything. Ive been through multiple windscreen washer bottle refills and quite frankly im soo sick of it that i want to kill every moth which ironically is the reason why im pissed in the first place. Oh life you are a vicious mistress.

This may be the start of a very devo moment for me. Heading to Tonga on Wednesday with 7 mates and I went to grab my passport laat night about 10pm and couldnt find it.

Looked for about an hour and still nothing, have a big day at work today so I had to go to bed and now all I can think about is going home and turning thw house inside out till I find the fcuken thing.

If I dont find it tonight I will have to lob up to the passport office Monday morning and burn a couple of hundred on a two day turn around on a new one

Oh man I have beent here and done that!

Wanted to fly to NZ for a weekend a couple of years ago - sauntered into work without a care in the world.

About 2pm I realized “shit your going overseas and you don’t have your passport”

Knew I could get home and back to the airport JUST.

Problem was when i got home I torn the entire apartment to pieces and couldn’t find it :-( nothing i could do about.

Got a new passport and rescheduled my trip for another time…found the lost passport the next winter… seems i had a bit of wishful thinking and had stored my passport in my suitcase LOL

Check your suitcase NBG.

Devo: yesterday exhaust system became detached from manifold 20km into 100km trip. Very noisy drive.
Got home did a rushed fix to drive and get parts only I used rubber to extend pipe and it smoked heavily while melting (lucky not to catch fire - spaz momement). Got to auto parts shop but closed.
Back home, dug though parts bin and whacked something together in the dark for today’s school run. But it’s barely doing the job and still noisy.

The money I put aside for PPs 10th birthday (next week) will now probably all go on a new catilitic converter.
Wish I had my68vw running and didn’t drive a 10yo Ford!

Yep, my initial idea was to buy some 3” pipe to replace it.
But around the corner is a Falcon/Territory parts place, picked up a Territory CC for $165 and an hour later I had it fixed without having to worry about bending, cutting, welding or creating flanges.
It’s not really my car, I just drive it, so better I look after it and keep it ridgy didge.
Mum is going to pay for the parts (I told her it only cost $150) - considering getting it repaired at the mechanics would have set her back +$500 and not until next week, she’s very happy.
