Itās ok, my states power networks have just realised their smart meter I told them about mid 2025. Now Iām booked in for Xmas. Had no power on Saturday, no explanation, massive grid drop out.
Smart meter not very fucking smart is it. 4 times theyāve tried to do it. I said you do realize. Yes yes sir we know what we are doing. Technition rolls up, opens the door, fuck me this is third one today. Legally not allowed to touch it. I said I know not your fault mate, I told them and they are not listening. He said yea they are busy having daily morning meetings to sort this shit out.
I said you getting paid, he said yea, I said cool just drive around and canāt do anything sounds like fun to me. He laughed. I dunno what else you meant to do.
Oh well run on diesel, at least I had that.
Was quite impressive private contract co from Victoria redid the main arterial road up near me. Bloody good job too. 2 runners spooling out the underlay plastic sheet. They mowed through it in quick time. Couple weeks to do about 300klms.
Then there is a spot in the neighboring council that ran out of money. Main arterial road. No bitumen for 300M for the last 5 years. Iām like fuck me. As I travel it often, roadworks sign, slow down roadworks ahead. I laugh, nope noworks.
Last rip up through there they are actually doing something. I thought fk Iāll be dead by the time they get this done. Do a better job with my own FEL haha Hereās a main arterial road many trucks have to haul along. Just a patch of fucking dirt with moosive pot holes. Quite a few passenger vehicles Iāve pulled up for to assist, blown a tyre, bent a rim. Itās shocking.
They should have it done by now. Council are fucked. They get Federal grant for drought relief so what do they do. Build some scrap metal end of carpark and call it art, paint the fucking silos, one good thing they made a kids playground I had a go on with my mates kids but they fucked that up too. I got stuck halfway down the slippery dip
