PedalGeeks and Gearheads will be paying double cost when the Aussie $ is worth jack shit within 12 months, because Tony and his friends like to keep our $ low because being cheap sluts is good for exports. This means imported stuff costs top dollar so that $200 pedals will soon be closer to $250 or $300. So f*#k you for your concern Tony, f*#k you very much.
I won't be surprised if it goes back to being worth ~$0.60US sooner or later. It'll be like when american standard fenders used to cost $2000. So much for being able to afford to buy awesome stuff from ILF builders in other countries.
Sick people, people trying to get an education, people who don't work in mining and people who give a shit about the environment. He pretty much hates everybody.
Iphone 3GS finally died, went canoeing and the ziploc bag holding phones in our gear had a hole in it and filled with water. Fuck. I'm sure the cracked as hell screen didn't help.
Upside: Time to get a new phone, and I'm dropping AT&T and their shitty service. Looking at Verizon and was choosing between phones, then was wondering when the iphone 5s going to be announced. Just happened a half hour ago. 64 bit A7 chip and fingerprint recognition for unlocking the phone. Kinda cool.

Fucking flat tire. I knew that I needed a new set, but damn. These times make me glad I payed off my credit card, so when the shit hits the fan I'm at least not totally fucked. Anyone want to buy a Tiny Terror?
New tires have shot up in price too... The same set in a 1 year period went up $45 per tire, when I asked why I got the same "because oil has shot up in price yada yada" bullshit you get with just about everything nowadays.
