Gold Gentleman Pure gold
Recently was doing some work in my cousins shed, a glorious affair, with a titty girl calender from 1989, a time when we were just old enough to have our own work space.
Hours passed as we worked away - it was bliss. It was rudely interupted by my wife asking when we intended to call it a day (daughters birthday party the following day) as "you have commitments you know".
She then glanced across at the calender of dreams and said "and why dont you take that calender down its not 1989 any more and look heres a trading post from 1992"
My cousin in his dry humour laughed "I gauge inflation from those trading posts and that girls breasts have stayed as pert as the day she was put up there"
Cue much laughing by all - with my wife even sitting in the couch for 10 minutes before returning with me home.
I think after all the red thumbs last week over the obh death squid lips i just wanted to post pictures to justify my existence.
Im not a dumb idiot i work hard and although i dont live in the center of a capitol city and go to the pub everyday i have other things that i work on. truth is its ok to have a big shed but its costs us 80 bucks to get to the nearest bus station and transport.
Life is very diverse in Australia different for people. I dont understand city living nor could live there I guess it was bad for me to be judgmental but yes "i do live in a box" and im quite happy living here ;-)
Living in rural Australia has its advantages aswell.
Sheds are like black holes the bigger they are the more crap they seem to suck into them never to see the light again.I seem to be on a never ending mission to get rid of crap from shed.Half the stuff from the house gets dumped into my shed were in im suposed to store it until its required again .All i can say is thank god her sisters pregante & i get to clean out all the stored gear from our kids when they were babies .Ive been wanting to get rid of this stuff for yrs. While i might be able to get away from wife the four kids think my shed is the best place to play & my tools are toys & everything in the shed can be used to make whatever crazy idea they come up with next .This used to drive me insane but i have learned to put up with it .And i now check the garden for missing tools because thats were they have been turning up .I still find it hard to make furniture when they are racing bikes & scooters around the shed so if im working on furniture there is no racing & no swinging of the rope swing hope you kids read this.
Promogirl, please do not read this post
all this shed talk , and a rainy day or 2 led to me cleaning up and re-arranging my home shed. when Id finished there was an 18' long space left near the door.
in a bizzare twist of fate I have a 16' wooden boat cluttering up the yard shed .
from the scrap pile of wheels and steel i whipped up a small jinker, and now saturday has been booked as moving day the boat has been sitting for 5 years waiting for time and tide so thanks for the inspiration guys.
Used to hang in a mates shed a lot. More of a leisure setting than workspace.
Complete with comfortable couches fridge, Vinyl record player, full stereo, guitars, bongos, amps, waterpipe etc etc. All the boys used to stop in as they went past, you get the picture.
Anyway after a few too many beers and what have you one night we got out the guitars and paper and wrote a Celibate Rifles inspired song.
I forget all the words but it started out like this:
The Shed
The Shed is the answer
The Shed
The Shed is the answer
Whether its a Titan or Ranbuild Deluxe
The Shed
The Shed is the answer
I forget the rest but it made us laugh and I must get the rest of the words off my mate if he remembers as well.
Geez I loved being 21 on the Gold Coast!
Love the bench Cisco - Only thing I'm missing.
Been cleaning and organizing the garage/storageroom so I can get in there and do important "stuff" build boards, fix bikes, tinker with bikes - generally a quick trip to do something results in a 4-5 hour disapearing act and a 6 pack of Coopers Vintage.
