Not like this legend 
Uggghhhā¦ what a dayā¦
1: mums pioneer amp blew upā¦7 years oldā¦everything is on one circuitboard, parts not available, throw it awayā¦$550 for a new oneā¦ its hooked into her tv / stereo / record player for old songs etc, so its neededā¦
2: Fall alarm / monitor for mumā¦ who is now furniture walking / higher falls risk.
Long story short, Govt will contribute some money to it ( System cost is near $1k)ā¦ butā¦ you need to be assessed by a Occupational therapist.
This needs a referral code ( got that), and a service provider able to see her.
Guess whatā¦all of them are at full capacity / canāt see new peopleā¦so the system stopsā¦no monitoring ( apart from my cameras)ā¦
3: Mums tennants, Havent had any water bills for the past 4 years.
Due to bills not being passed on. Now they are.
A big giftā¦several thousand $ of free water their way. Should be grateful.
Instead, now cracking it because they have to pay waterā¦and dont like having inspections every 4 months.
Cancelled an inspection 2morrow, because they " Have Gastro"ā¦
Despite being about $110 per week below market rates, they are looking for other properties, and may break their leaseā¦
4: spending all day on the phone, my telstra landlineā¦ the service is crap.
It gets crackly/ breaks upā¦ calls incomplete due to lost and broken speech.
Greatly increases stress / repetition communicating.
Pay full price, for a lesser ( unnaceptable) service.
Theyāve closed the local office, ring up the hotline to report the faultā¦
wait on hold ā¦foreverā¦ for nothingā¦rage hang up with no report!
Good way to āminimise workloadā
Over itā¦!! 
Spent the day chasing a coolant leak. Renewed hose and hose clamps, resealed fittings and bungs - still leaked.
Finally traced to hairline crack in the inlet manifold. Guess 50 year old parts can wear out eventually.
Almost as frustrating as setting pinion height when the baseplate doesnāt have an adjustment screw
Been through the NDIS stuff with my brother. They reckon he didnāt need the fall down alarm. Luckily someone found him after he had been on the floor for 4 days because his leg failed.
They appear to want to prioritise the easy money making recipients over those that really need help
4 daysā¦ lucky to have survived thatā¦
Thats my big fear, for mumā¦
A fall in the bathroom, and no-one knowsā¦dies of dehydrationā¦
its the way with My Aged Careā¦they are like a north korean grocery storeā¦
All window dressing, but no stockā¦
" Yes, yes , we have lots of services available for help, here have a codeā¦"
(go to redeem it)
" Sorry, no spaces / people / capacity/ money/ services availableā¦try again in 6 monthsā¦"
Why do we pay taxes, again.?.?!

But have you been in a LX SS hatchback that pulls 10 second quarter mile hitting 320klm/hr
Blew a modern Ducati 1188 motorbike off in a drag race.
That was fun had the LX sideways at 260klm/hr. Held it and sank the slipper back into it.
New queen mattressā¦
Old one is 15+ years oldā¦sore back inducer.
Online shopping is uselessā¦with mattresses, you need to lay down and test emā¦
Thankfully , north lakes has that covered.
Not cheap thoughā¦.but a decent one will last a long timeā¦
Found a winner, first storeā¦ saves the multi store drive aroundā¦!!

Talk about pricing yourself out of a jobā¦
LG artcool 5KW aircondā¦stylish mirror finish unitā¦15+ yrs old, but minimal use.
Having problems turning onā¦clicking on startup/ not blowing air.
Rang up the LG technician, and described the problem.
They checked for parts availabilityā¦Some common parts are available.
So, a repair could be possible.
Other option, $3000.00 for new replacement / removal/ new install.
Their price, to just come out and inspect it.?.?
$800.00ā¦
Your Absolutely Joking, right.?!!
Thankfully, ive found a workaround fix, to get it goingā¦jiggle the mirror louvre when its open.
That seems to jiggle the microswitches (something switch like, is clicking inside), and it then starts upā¦
What a ripā¦!!

There you go, that $800 you just saved will cover that new blaster from x-force
$3000 saved , will cover even moreā¦!!
Thenā¦Crack.!!!.. Aircond breaks.!!
They obviously DONT want to do the jobā¦
Yes, we can do itā¦ at almost the price of a new one.
$800 for an inspection, $1000 on āpartsā , and another $1000 to come back and fix itā¦
Weād rather save the botherā¦and just sell you a new oneā¦
Thank Goodness, i found the work-around fix.
It works every time, so farā¦

Just goes to show nothingās built to last anymore, itās all set up to fail easily to keep them having to come back and fix it whilst charging the earth for the repairs
At least itās lasted 15 years so farā¦and hopefully a few more yet.
But itās had an easy life.
If it does need replacement, iāll only go a decent brand.
Panasonic / Mitsubishi electric ( not mitsubishi heavy industries) / Fujitsu.
The price of an install is expensiveā¦at least the better brands have a longer warranty.
I donāt trust any of the chinese branded stuff to go the distanceā¦Bunnings A/C is a no go for meā¦
I really like the mirror finish tooā¦
Got a matching 2.5 kw mirror finish, in the bedroom as well.
Mirror finish is no longer availableā¦
Yeah it does look pretty schmick
Mitsubishi are the only brand, to make stylish aircon nowā¦
Black/ red/ silver unitsā¦
The rest are just vanilla white unitsā¦
Funny thing is, they donāt display em, at Hardly normal, good guys etcā¦
I saw the mirror ones, years ago, on display and that was enough for me.
Not even that much more expensiveā¦
