Every day above ground is a good one

Another week has rolled on by
I’ve managed to take out the motto beasty each night after work
Cracked her up the three mile the other night pulling 140+ out of the last bend and onto the straight down into wakari and near run in to the “nice policeman” with his speed trap but luckily he had already pulled over some poor “boy racer” in a skyline so he was’nt too worried about me
Just love the stopping power of this bike the 1100cc 4-stroke V-twin has heaps of engine breaking in it’s self but the “brembro” brakes are the “Shnizzel”
From 140+ to 100 in “Fuck there’s a cop” [haha]
I’m hanging for good weather over the weekend for another run up Cromwell way
I’ll check tommorrow and see that my friends will be home so I have a place to stay then come on home on the sunday
The situation with “scaredy cat” is going well and now she will put up with me combing her while she eats from the food bowl but still wont allow me to approach her otherwise
I’m getting her used to being combed right from the start “Fuzz Bucket” loves the comb, he even looks for it so you can comb him or if you pick it up he jumps up on the chair and purss like a Mack truck while you comb the bits of twig and “biddy biddy’s” out of his long hair
Scaredy is more “Fur” than hair like the “Fuzz man”
Her fur is full olf “Knotz ‘n’ Dredz” you can tell shes a wildling
I’ll have to bite the bullet soon and get her to the vets to be spayed
young “cheeky” came in tonight hard out squinting her right eye, it looks as though she has had something poke it I’ll check in the morning and see if it’s still annoying her
it never ends with the wee fur people they’re always in the wars
Man the cat food bill has gone up with the addition of “scaredy’s” appetite for a tiny kitty she can bulk it away
Tax [business] is upon us again and I’m worried that I may have made too much profit and will end up with a huge tax bill
I’ve got the money in my accounts to cover it but in business [in NZ] you pay “provisional Tax” the only country in the world I know of where you pay tax before you earn the money
This system encourages you to avoid making a profit
So I’ve re-newed some hand tools for work and purchased more “plant” hydraulic rams, hydraulic, jacks, another drill and grinder things like that
so it’s good in that we have better tools to work with but negative in the respect of the “buffer” I had saved up is to be used up or taxed
don’t get me wrong I do pay taxes I’m just trying to make work a better place for my employee and myself and be able to do the work
better that than to struggle on thinking I wish i just had a “porta power” ram to press this in a bit or that sort of scenario
I’m going shopping again tomorrow this time for safety gear and I’ll upgrade the first aid kit and fire extiguishers as well, I’ll give one of the old ones to my worker for in his car or home and i’ll keep the other one for in my car
You cant ever have enough safety gear
I’ve got a stock take to do as well, I guess the best way to look at it atleast I have all these things going on in my life I could be totaly stuffed in a wheel chair or worse have no work and be dirt poor struggling by on the dole
life is great
EVERY DAY ABOVE GROUND IS A “GOOD” ONE
