[QUOTE="James, post: 12210, member: 212"] Challenges eh .... don't yah just love a challenge. Gets you outta the pit on n a morning. This week seems to have seen a few of them. The one of note is that the Big MAN is out of action after it suffered a dislocated rear differential. The Big MAN can haul almost 300 boxes back from the coast in one hit. We are reduced to olde favorite Beani Bee which has a payload of 96 boxes. It is what it is. But the biggest challenge is the bills that keep rolling in ..... I had a chat with me old mate 'The Doc ' tonight .... Doc Speights. It kinda went like this .... "Doc , I been plagued with breakdowns lately and the bills just keep rolling in. True, I 'aint been to church for a while to ask for forgiveness for my cussing and swearing .... but.... The Honey Hummer crapped out and I sent it to the fix it shop and they charged me $180/hr to fix a f'up that they created at the last service. Then the honey lift pump crpped out and the engineer chraged me $1200 to fix a pump that I only paid $200 for a lifetime ago. And then i got slammed with the Big MAN's dislocated back difeerential and the fix it man quoted me 30k to pop it all back into place. Hows a bloke supposed to make a dollar in this tough game? Old mate Doc looked me crooked in the eye ..... Jesse James..... you 'aint her to make a dollar. You are here to provide sustenance for the great unwashed , and will recieve your reward in Heaven! Old Doc was always pretty philosophical .... too much weed and Dylan... Mama take this badge off me I can't use it any more Gettin dark, too dark to see Feel like I'm knockin on heavens door... Knock knock knockin on Heavens door. 'Look on the flip side' , said the Doc..... 'only 42 sleeps on you'll be on that big Sky Waka wingin it to some spring sun and yanking that Triumph Tiger's tail back into life and hitting the road again. Sticky side down ...eh !' He's a good Man, my mate Doc. [/QUOTE]
