Hello everyone ,
Today i did a tip run and i sorted out my rubbish first recycling 

 from landfill and i took all the scrap metal i had piled up along with TB old trailer cross  members .

Yesterday i managed to to
Unfreeze the bracket bolts and unseaze  the sliders that  were rusted together and stuck fast in them .

I used an oxy cutting set up torch to efficiently and quickly heat them
Then i used my  new one  bolt only vice ,
to hold them and drive the shaft down with blows from a square headed mash hammer .

It all kept moving around as the vice was only pinned

A bit I of grease was applied to the joint prior to heating and the heat sucks in  as it heats up the molten grease  with a heat assisted capillary action helping loosen the joint ,

It really does work .

But im pissed off with the government and its scam on welding gas ,
No one can afford to buy it anymore so we are all now forced to mostly use grinders with consumables from China instead for nearly all cutting operations.

All made in China instead of Australian gas for cutting operations.

There government scams are  absolutely everywhere

So getting back to the story
Once more ,
I brought home more from the tip than i took .
Lol 

It reminds me of my childhood ,

It was all treasure to me  back then ,
I just lacked storage space.
My mum was bemused when id bring home my treasure from even doing GUColes hard rubbish,
My toy box was full of new broken toys .

First of all at the tip today  it was so much cheeper for me ,
as the man could clearly see the different piles in the trailer and the charge for my small amount of landfill  and electrical goods  was $15. 

  Now there have been a number of of birds getting in my chimney as of lately and there was a cap waiting for me in the top of the metal waste bin .
It has a half covered lid too ,
to face the East ,
so that the wind ,
it wont howl down the chimney.
Very often.

So that was a bonus
Next to the electrical waste pile , there were two men there rummaging through the electrical waste skip and they took my two bluetooth speakers and it was a blessing in disguise as they repair  old amps for a hobby and i was so upset to throw away my old 9/2 surround unit

I was so pleased to hand it straight to them so its now not  expensive rubbish and wasted ,
or at least they will get some great parts out of it .

Next to the landfill bin and there waiting for me rolled up with a white coloured ribbon tying it up,
It was a red coloured hall runner 
I smiled on the inside as this  just completes the outdoor area

Hmm
Thats for the studio

Bonus

Then coming home there was a wooden tall boy set of draws also just  waiting for me ,
They came with a sticker on it of the main sponsor of the Wonthaggi Scate  Park

Steve ,
from Vortex Scate and Surf .

Steve was the president of the club when i met him
We worked together on the petition to get the park built ,
Steve from his shop
Me from  absolutely everywhere
We  all did a nude calendar shoot to raise money and awareness for the cause
Later we ran the biggest petition in Bass Coast Shire history
Where i tabled at the local council meeting a petition with over five thousand individual signatories on it .

I also made a verbal presentation asking on behalf of their constituents to build the park .

They agreed and built stage one then conveniently forgot about us ,
Theres a bit more to it than meets the eye as the Wonthaggi show requires the land for the Wonthaggi show .

It is a long time promise that needs to be honoured and i have spoken to thr president about the complexities of the situation and i have formulated a solid plan on my mind that will satisfy absolutely everyone

Unfortunately it has only ever had stage one completed of five .

So I’m more than happy to see the Vortex sticker on display at my joint
I do hope in the near future to be able to see the scate park project actually get finished ,
for my grand daughters and all my mates and visitors to just Drop In if they dare .

Its as steep as it looks

So in conclusion the new fancy as Red carpet looks divine

I do believe its almost party time
Hmm
I think the party actually is at mine

Oops
I better ask the landlord

Walk in only ,
and a dance in time
As a fleeting moment frozen in time
It  all sounds 
simply divine 

Cheers xxx
