Oh hell yeah DR Dre(still going snoop dog) , Eazy E. Ice Cube take the mothafkn stand, order ,order let me finish I got somethin to say… 
Blasting out of my volkswagen on way to work flat out the stez was. Hilarious the death glares you’d get.
100 miles and runnin was good too. Then you get the more main stream like RUN DMC, Stetsasonic, LL Cool J. Liked em all 
Oo hang on lets not forget Geto Boys. Reloaded my UZI and fired up another fry. Was cranking that at my party
More sheep work from dawn till dusk. Few fireworks of lightning getting bit of rain this time Lightning was quite speccy.
I found the asshole who stole my baby banana tree I had in a large pot behind my letterbox and I beat the living shit out of him 
It’s been there for two years and then today it’s gone. If I find that person…above is going to happen.
I’m not generally a violent person, but there are lines and that person crossed one of them.
I’m very upset about it. 
In other news, last week I won $2.8k on keno at the pub…Noice…!!
So swings and roundabouts…I guess…
Why tf would someone steal one of those. Some people would steal my undies if they weren’t clamped to my arse.
Good job on the win will help out new blaster purchase mebbe
Swings and roundabouts, term I’ve worn out this year with all the uncertainties and shit hit fan moments.
Soldier on, improvise, adapt and overcome.
Thieves suck.
If it’s any consolation, people who live by that standard, have crap lives…
Congrats on the win, 2.8 k can buy you a new tree, and a couple of blasters as well…!!
Take the win, and be happy.!!
Bit of a vector rebuild. The original motor I used was a chihai iron will 30k… and it did not love pulling an m110 with 13:1.
Only seen a heap of testing and two days at Donnybrook, and the armature and brushless clearly didn’t love it! It never quite got the rps I expected, but at the time it was the only motor I could get on short notice to build the thing.
The carbon was everywhere and thick, fun to clean that out!
Brushless time! T238 25k budget version, chosen as it was the only short one they have and is compatible with the mosfets active brake which can not be turned off.
Had to shave a bit of material to fit the brushless motor, and cut some channels for the motor terminals which stick out a bit more on the brushless motor. Nothing like the feeling of hacking up an expensive thing!
On to cleaning out the filings, total clean of everything, check bevel to pinion shimming, and rebuild.
Beautiful looking bit of gear … . I’d be nervous chopping into that myself 
Ah, no guts, no glory… chop away! 
Yeah it’s taken me since Friday to grit my teeth and do it!
Good news though!
Gearbox is together and have it a bench test and it runs very nice! And the gear train is expectedly very quite now with a brushless motor. And didn’t have to shorten the shaft like the last motor so there was a plus in that!
Sounds to be about 25rps with m110 and 13:1. Perfect given it is something I don’t want to service often! Vectors are the hardest thing to work on but they certainly are up there with the longest!
Will get it in the blaster tomorrow and send it on an m110… maybe even try some bigger springs while I’m at it for giggles. It is short four teeth on the sector so won’t be as wild as you think. The beauty is the easy and quick spring change to suit the field.
Been playing a game called Satisfactory. That’s pretty much it.
Just started the process of having to apply for the disability pension.
Been trying my hardest to get back into work, but my Doctor and Specialists are saying that it’s just not going to happen 
Gotta step back and reassess the future plans now, which I’m leaning towards becoming another Gypsy travelling around the country
Best of luck mate, also good luck with gov dept can be a right pain sometimes. But you can claim that
Cheers mate 
Yeah bracing myself for the endless circle of paperwork and conflicting information combined with the total impossibility of being able to contact any Government Department and speak to an actual human being whatsoever 
Doctor told me to join up with a local advocacy group to help me through the process… so we’ll wait and see.
First interview with Centrelink yesterday and still in the dark about the whole process 
I second using the local advocacy group. The were able to get my brother’s approved after he had initially been knocked back because he filled in something incorrectly.
They like to make it hard, Doc.
I had an application in for DSP back before COVID restrictions, I was on the DES program at the time, so Newstart . Been going through the hoops for about a year with it and getting more and more frustrated. Centrelink told me it was going to be bounced due to insufficient medical documentation, apparently the 3" thick folder of specialist’s letters, scan and test results wasn’t enough.
Two days later when the gummint announced they were bringing in double Newstart payments because of the COVID leurgi I got a letter stating I’d been put on a DSP.
Anything to save a buck, hey? That advocacy group suggestion’s a good idea, Doc. Highly recommend that.
Cheers guys 
I was also already on a Medical Exemption certification after I came out of hospital for a while, then like many others during COVID was thrown onto Newstart despite being incapacitated for work
From this was moved over to the DES because of the ongoing medical issues and doctors/specialists certificates, but they are still expecting us to jump through unattainable hoops despite the fact that nobody is ever going to try and employ a cripple with all of the OHS and Insurance liabilities that come with it
I’m definitely aware that it isn’t going to be easy and take a whole lot of stress to get through the whole system… but don’t have any options other to keep pushing forward and fighting the fight 
That’s unfortunate to hear. hopefully you’ll navigate through this challenging time.
Cheers mate, but I’m definitely not the only soldier in this country that has battled the same conflict
I’m about to start the whole centrelink paper chase exercise, with Mum.
Due to her properties/ term deposit / bank account being owned as Joint Tennants with myself, she is eligible for a part pension.
(that was done for Mum to disown her narc daughter…i have to pay tax on 50% of mums income, even though it all goes to her)
The pension is not a huge amount, about $6k per year, but she’ll be eligible for pensioner discounts etc.
And, as we all want her to stay out of a nursing home, the 6k/year can go toward paying for home care as she needs it.
I shudder at starting the process, ive never been on centrelink, but they will want to know EVERYTHING financially, that has happened over the past 5 years.
This will include rennovations at her old place, selling it , buying at north lakes, buying an investment property at north lakes, setting up new accounts and closing old ones, selling shares, and some money she gave to me during covid…
Phew.
Lots of reasons there, for them to stuff around, and say " we dont like this"
Gifting , in particular is a big one…but that came from a joint account, so…??
Its gonna be painful…
For $6k a year, you wonder if its even worth it…
Good luck mate. Been faffing around since mid year, they are overwhelmed at the moment and it will take awhile…
