A bottler of a day

Today will see me bottling up the first 24 bottles of "Skinny" beer from my Brew barn micro brewery. I have 12 used bottles of Pure Blonde origins and another dozen generic VB bottles, cleaned and ready to go.

I also passed my Police Clearence yesterday, so I'm not off tot he Vic Roads crowd to get my licence updated for bus driving duties.

I was called by the bus people yesterday to see if I was still interested, so the timing was pretty good. I have mu Working With Children (WWC) paperwork in the pipeline, I have my medical report that says I'm ok to drive a passenger bus, so I should be good to go.

I took the Magna (Greenwith) out yesterday to run Kirby to work, and dropped into Centrelink for my fortnightly checkin. The car is still broken, so I walked over to the library to find a repair manual but the last one they had had been stolen, so I called the Footscray library and they had one, so in the evening, after dropping Casey off at friends, I popped in there and read their copies. Same story , I can only do so much but I will still need to use a mechanic to fix it.

Two outer three ain't bad

cheers

The Month in Review...just where do these days go?

Since May, my life has been 'on the go'. After the last FP visit, we had another person visit us, with the the same story, but she was much nicer about our woeful financial position, so Dee and I heard her out. We liked her so much that we invited her back next month for another chat. In the meantime, we have put our block of land up for sale...there goes Dee's dream of a new house for the short term. Our plan is to clear our debts with the profit from the land sale, and then start again with a deposit from what is left over. Dee will have completed her two year limbo with the Tax Office and I shall get a better paying job. We clear on that? While all this was going on, my brother-in-law, Pete Clarkson suddenly died back home in Christchurch. The family flew me back home for his funeral and wake. I was then asked to represent Deb and the family in delivering the eulogy. There was volcanic ash in the skys between Australia and NZ but I flew on Air New Zealand and they ke...

Macro Economics - part 1

For many many years, I have had a little statement rolling around in my head. I can't recall where I heard it, but I know it was not an original idea of my own. It goes something like this... A man's weekly wage can buy a bicycle or a good suit of clothes A man's monthly wage can buy a reasonable car A man's yearly wage can buy a luxury car A man's Half yearly wage will allow him to take a family of four on an overseas holiday Three years of a Man's wage could buy a small house/home ...and all this was from 100 years ago. Since then, I have sporadically and randomly searched for this type of reference on the internet but I've come up mostly empty, however I recently read another statement along the same lines, in that an ounce of gold could buy a pound of bread (or about 600 loaves) This has prove to be a lot richer vein to follow, if you can pardon my pun. This thought can be traced as far back as 2,500 years, so maybe after all the wondefull chan...
