Y & T

Yesterday 🙃 check the bike just before I go to town to buy some new felipe flops (french) thongs (wanker australian) or flip flops like us normals. Anyway the back wheel has a broken spoke FFS. What to do. The old brain kicks in and remembers I have some spares. Boom. In the bag will find a bike shop in CW. Oh yes the one slop broke. Been good to me those boys so not too worried I need a 2020 model. So they come in 3's right. The fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking air mattress has found a leak. Luckily I am sleeping on some borrowed cushions but this issue will need to be addressed on my return. 
An hour later I am in town. See the bike guy. He says "no problem" I get worried when people say this as it normally means "WE WILL FIX IT BUT PROBABLY FUCK SOMETHING ELSE UP" Anyway I check off for slops. 250 madibas. 😳😳😳 I didn't ask for gold lady. Anyway purchase done.
Next door for breakfast. Delicious full house. Gone in 60 seconds was the name I called it. Back to the bike shop. Aweh. Job done. Looks okay 🤔 I am very suspicious. 
Get going back to my place of rest. What do you think??????????? Gears don't work. Get them to work. Then start again. What do you think????????????? I see the bloody thing is put back together incorrectly. That is why the gears needed adjusting which they didn't need if he just did the job properly. Anyway I sort it all out. I should have just changed the spoke myself. It would have been done RIGHT the first time. I can't cry over spilt milk so I make it back to my place. Buy 3 beers for my galliant effort to get everything done.
So the bike is fixed and the slops are done.
Wake up today. Quick spin to town for coffee. And a sandwich. 🤣
Then back here. Well the air mattress needs repairs. 
So tomorrows job is to fix the mattress. I am still on the borrowed cushions. 
It has been an absolute stunning weekend so far. Let's hope this weather keeps up the good work.
Until then
Peace out.
Greg
