Lucky daughter whose dad can just whip it up on a weekend!
Ok, i've had it. Put in leave today and starting Sunday I'm off to Gamkas kloof and Baviaans to do some off the grid out and abouting with my awesome regulated mods. Yiiihaaa!
Enjoy. I'm off next week for a little R&R as well.
Hey guys,
So yesterday evening I went into Vape Cartel plumstead to get some juice before I went to @KZOR to collect my new VT inbox (which I love). While there one of the employees informs me that they have an instore sale running on Far Eliquids (one that comes in a spray can) R250 100ml so I tried the range and after getting some awesome customer service and having a great chat to the owner (I dont know his name lol) about squonking I ended up walking out with a bottle of their Neon Green Slushee. Today, about 30mins ago I proceed to refill my squonk bottle with the Neon Slushee, I squeeze the bottle and the juice comes out very slowly and being impatient I squeeze harder and the cap shoots off the bottle, half of the bottle spills on my white T-shirt!!
It's a very shitty bottle,one of those bottles that Dr Crimmys and 5 points used years ago.
On the plus side now I smell like lime slushee lol!
Just thought I should share it with y'all,
Enjoy the weekend guys!

As is my custom, when on leave I take a week to go camping and off-roading and then upon return start some or other "little" domestic project. These project usually end up coming in way over budget and take much longer than planned but at least it gets me to do something with my hands, which is the whole idea behind them.
So this past week it was the building of a dog kennel. Not just any dog kennel but one that could hold the weight of a thousand liter rainwater catchment tank on top of it. Of-course scope creep set in and some major pluming and rain water diversion got added to the mix.
Finished it up on Wednesday with final pluming done Thursday just in time for some nice stormy weather. Caught 630 liters of rainwater last night and glad to report all performing as planned.

Wanted to set up a VPN so a short time ago I bought a fancy new router from the USA and got it set up an running.
Last night I think I scored a direct hit with lightning and it got fried along with my modem.
I hate Telkom and before anyone tries to tell me its not their fault .....I don't care,I still hate Telkom.

On the road today I noticed a stunning looking women in the car next to me stopped at the traffic light. Our eyes met and we had a moment. It was magical. Then I exhaled and we could not see each other anymore...

Today I made a third visit to Nedbank (made two yesterday) in order to draw cash !!
Yesterday at the end of the second visit they wheel out this ugly looking sweaty geezer to explain why I can't have my money,there follows an extract of conversation ;
Him ; Sir your account is dormant.
Me ; What have Nedbank taken from my account every month?
Him ; Bank charges sir.
Me ; Don't Nedbank call them maintenance charges?
Him ; Yes sir.
Me; Exactly,I have paid Nedbank to maintain my account,and you have made it dormant,without informing me FFS
Him ; Sir the customer has a duty to understand the regulations.
Me ; Jy praat kak.
Him ;Excuse me sir.
Me ; Kak,Verstaan jy kak?
Him ; Yes sir.
Me; Change that fecking withdrawal notice and have all my funds available tomorrow,I'm taking the lot and closing the account.
Him ; Ok thank you sir
Me ; What time to do you open and what time would you like me to come.We open at 9am sir please come then.
Me; Thanks for your help.
I rock up there today at 0850am and the bank is open ,turns out Mr Sweaty is the Manager and he doesn't know the opening times.
It takes two fecking hours to get my money and the ladies helping just laughed when I told them their manager couldn't manage a piss up in a brewery!
To cap it off my mech squonker had shit on the contacts and wouldn't fire!!
I leave the bank at 1055am,over two hours !! Nedbank are no more and I never have to go and see Mr Sweaty again!!

Opening an account took 5 minutes. Closing it and sorting the mess out took over 5 days
Looks like banks are the target at the moment! Standard bank was the executor of my father's estate. About 5 years after the estate was wound up I got a letter (addressed to my father) from a lawyer representing the bank threatening to sue him for some rediculous amount owing to Standard bank. I referred them back to Standard bank in a not to friendly manner and fortunately heard nothing more
ABSA was executor for my Dads estate, 5 years to finalize and 5 years of trying to explain that he cannot collect his credit card, the account is not dormant it is part of the estate that they are busy with, and the cherry on the cake, will he collect when he is no longer diseased
ABSA, I think, will always top any other bank. When I still banked with them they refused me a second bond because I was labeled as a late payer. The lovely knowledgeable people there insisted that I was supposed to pay my bond on the first of the month and I was consistently paying 25 days late. They also explained to me that the fact that I was 18 months ahead in installments did not excuse this reckless behavior. Fortunately most other banks do not employ people this knowledgeable and I've been ripping of Standard Bank ever since. They even gave me my own private banker.ABSA was executor for my Dads estate, 5 years to finalize and 5 years of trying to explain that he cannot collect his credit card, the account is not dormant it is part of the estate that they are busy with, and the cherry on the cake, will he collect when he is no longer diseased

Ok so my 5 year old usually listens to RSG in the evenings while he lies in bed. They have these afrikaans kids stories from 19:00 19:50 each evening, reallu nice stories. However, the last few days all he wants to listen to is Andrea Bocelli. From when we get home until he falls asleep our house reverberate with opera music. Dont know if i should be terrified or really impressed
