shed music tonight....

Sisters, Niggers, Whities, Jews

Sisters, brothers and the whities Blacks and the crackers Police and their backers They're all political actors Hurry People running from their worries While the judge and the juries Dictate the law that's partly flaw Cat calling, love balling, fussing and cussing Top billing now is killing For peace no-one is willing Kind of make you get that feeling Everybody smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke Use the pill and the dope, dope, dope, dope, dope Educated fools From uneducated schools Pimping people is the rule Polluted water in the pool And Nixon talking about don't worry, worry, worry, worry He says don't worry, worry, worry, worry He says don't worry, worry, worry, worry He says don't worry, worry, worry, worry But they don't know There can be no show And if there's a hell below We're all gonna go, go, go, go, go Everybody's praying And everybody's saying But when come time to do Everybody's laying Just talking about don't worry, worry, worry, worry They say don't worry, worry, worry, worry They say don't worry, worry, worry, worry They say don't worry, worry, worry, worry

funny how the world turns around and around and around and some of us still dont get it. dont want this blob to be some kind of statement about anything but machines but sometimes i just want to push all the shit away and spend some time in the garden growing food for my little family. curtis wrote this song the year i was born and it humbles me to think im that old and still dont know better.

lots of him and lots of him....

and im happy....photo taken by some sick arse.

machine wall photos 2..

inspired by ian barry's top ten on pipeburn here is george brough's personal sidevalve racer "old bill" as seen on page 6 of vic willoughby's classic motorcycles.

finally getting some time for myself....

and to do some shed stuff....worked on the primary of joes 50 pan today...its the one thing that really i didnt touch when we did the rebuild...but its always given me the heebeegeebees cause it just has not been right....gearbox had a later mainshaft fitted and gave me no end of problems...i have a new bdl unit to fit here now but there will still be further mods needed to get it all right and tracking straight.

mikes wl also got a look in today and is back on the burner.....and speaking of burners its fire lighting time round here getting rid of all that timber, building related, fencing related and general tree falling over related ....

nice red wine in front of the fire with near freezing temperatures means a nice nights sleep for me coming up.

its been like spring in the middle of winter...
