Life happens. When doing a thousand km trip, moving from Sydney to Brisbane region we actually blew two tires and replace four. They blew on the highway but obviously since I am still here, we survived that one. lol We just bought the car. It was from a one time owner who had it garaged for 10 + years. Turns out he never drove it enough to changed the tyers in all that time. They looked new but not new enough.
Today (some 27 years later) we survived on the way back from Brisbane. I dropped the family at home, loaded up computer gear, said good bye to the family and headed off to another town where the emphasis on this trip is to show a good friend how to put his long awaited supped up high end custom gaming rig together. I'll be picking up what parts he does not need and testing them on my own rig. It's going to be a full week off from the family fully focused and tweaking both computers, kicking back enjoying the bliss of no family racket. We play well enough in the home, but without a break, life can suck for all involved. Fact is, they also enjoy it when I go as much as I do. hehe. Works well for me.
Thanks for popping in
