Jeez i hate that. just 1/4 hour typing away Only to hit one of rogue keys that jumped of the board last week & lose the lot,,,,,,,,,,,, bloody shit buggery ect ect ect ........................ Its ok im calm again now & the glue on the ke yss i s nea rly d ry.
Now where was i ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh yeh today Steph came over & asked me to fix her mower. Then proceeded to regail me with tales of the 14ft Python residing in her roof & the eaqually large one roaming the garden.
So it was with much trepidation that i tooled up & set forth. Only to be driving up the long leafy driveway & come across & bloody 6ft Goanna. Needles to say, i picked up the lawn mower put it in the back of the car & came straight home.Now i know some on yous will be saying wot a pussie, but i have seen what a smaller Goanna can do to unwary peoples toes & chickens, & i also know that Pythons although fairy harmless most times can indeed get pretty stroppy especially when they think your there to steal whatever they consider to be food.
Now the mower which i risked life & limb to salvage, looks like something exploded with great force underneath it, blowing off bits, springs, & other sundry small pieces of metal. You can still tell its a mower though, it has four wheels equially spaced around it all pointing in sort of the same direction. Its got a motor on top. I guess its the motor, all i can see is a large pile of grease/lawnclippings, some string & i think, a loaf of bread or part of the bag, it could have been full originally i dunno.Its also got a handle held together with i do believe a hairclip some string a a piece of wood.
Now according to the user of said machine, its always run perfectly with 100ft of string/ plastic feed bag/barbed wire & something that looks like entrails wrapped around the plate & blade.
You will notice i said blade, singular, the other one is a stump.
I have just finished dismantling it with an angle grinder & as you can imagine dismantling anything with an angle grinder does not bode well with the restoration.
I think it used to be red or maybe thats just spatter & it smells like a too hot barbie.
Crikey i got an appetite.

Spatter from the other Python that was chasing the Goanna maybe.
