    Well I hope everybody's New Year got off to a better start than ours.
    We'd taken the bus over to Hastings for the NSRA New Year Celebration/Inebriation, returned home Friday, New Year's day.
    Some rotten mongrel has swiped my spare tyre, and I have not (as yet,) been able to source a new rim.
    Nett result - stuck on the side of the road just south of Patea for three hours with a blow-out...until Joe Bourke, the nice man from Universal Motors Patea came to our rescue with a second-hand tyre.

    Thanks Joe!

    Well that's a sorry lot that takes something that's not his, but to take a guy's spare wheel/tire takes a really rotten sort of person. You're looking for a wheel for a Chevy Dually, which one would think would be easier to find than one for an old Ford chassis, but then again, who knows.

    Maybe that's your lot of bad luck for the whole year, all done on the 1st day!! And if Santa didn't bring you a lock for that spare......

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
