@Nepia yeah, beautiful outside today Sep always seems to be pretty good before it turns to crop again in Oct/Nov!
I just hope for no bushfires this summer - we basically didn't have a summer pre covid because of them.

Yeah, I guess the 'no' was a bit of stretch, so I should rephrase that to normal levels of bushfire, unlike last years batshit crazy levels.

@Kruse said in Re: Movie review thread...:
Wonder Woman 1984
Context: So, on a road trip around Northland, I realise one tyre is down to the wire, and I limp into Whangarei. On New Years Day, with everything shutdown. I've now got 4 days to kill until a motorcycle workshop opens on Tuesday (hopefully)... and the “National Clock Museum” can only hold my interest for about an hour.
So, to the movies it is... with a limited selection.
Wonder Woman, following the current trend of fucking everything being set in, or referencing, the 80s.
And I get that the silliness, plotholes, overall terribleness, can partially be explained away by “homage to the 80s movies”... but... it was fucking awful. Silliness, plotholes, overall terrible.
And then, on my walk back to dodgy hotel... all the pubs are bloody closed, at like 7pm on a Sunday.
What the fuck?
2 Gal is rather hot out of 5 fuck off the 80s.
Just fuck off.
Edit: and now I've got one more day to kill... and the other movie available looks even worse... Monster Hunter.national clock museum you say?

I just need a new rear tyre. I'm hoping Shaw Motorcycles will be open tomorrow... if not, he's got a cellphone number on the front door for emergencies, which I'll ring.
Mostly terrible timing.... 1st, public holiday, then the weekend - none of you lazy Northlanders working, then 2nd public holiday.
And my own fault, if I'd not underestimated the kms I was clocking, I'd have noted the wear earlier, and maybe got it done before starting off. And bloody WOF recently, the guy didn't even mention it was close. -

A good hour's worth of clocks. The mechanics of a clock are actually interesting... if you're stuck in Whangarei for four or five days.

@Kruse did you see the design for that rolling ball clock, should be awesome when done? MIght need to split this off...no idea if Shaws are open this week, but in regard to the WOF thing, that is pretty shit

Yeah, saw the billboard for it... looks to be a giant version of one they've got in the museum, which did hold my interest for some time, trying to figure out how it worked.

@Kruse how you getting on? Back on the road?

Sitting in Shaws right now, getting new tyres. Looking forward to lunch at Duke of Marlborough.

@Kruse taking OLd Russel ROad or goin over on Ferry?

@Kruse taking OLd Russel ROad or goin over on Ferry?
I was planning on ferry there, road back.
But ferry queue was ridiculous, and I tried the wrong road... I saw Russell Road, and thought it must be an option, but first tried some other road which turned to gravel quite early, and I gave up on the whole thing. A super late lunch at McLeods instead. -
And now, at Mangawhai Tavern... Leigh Hart has walked in... he isn't drinking his shitty unfunny wakachangi beers, that's for sure.
I dearly want to explain to him how he hasn't done a single slightly amusing thing in his entire career, and “comedy” in NZ would be well served by him just disappearing, complete with his gimmick “beers” and chips and whatever else ... but he is quite the large fluffybunny. -

He actually tried to start up a conversation... the bike being the excuse. I politely snubbed him.
He is the farthest thing from comedic, and the polar opposite of a genius.
