I’m more excited than I should be to have my own headset to take back to work tomorrow. A decent ANC headset is an absolutely essential tool on the 737. Mine has been in for repairs, and the company supplied ones are rubbish. 5-6hrs with a garbage headset is, well, garbage.

Turning on the ANC is like climbing under the doona on cold night, or a hug from your mum when you scrape your knee, or a lick on the hand from a labrador.

Two things. Being a firey at a regional airport is the dream job - snooze, do gym work, bit of maintenance - that’s it. No Bazza or Shazza here any more.

This aeroplane will always be a little bit mine. Here’s the patch from where some poor unfortunate drove a loader through the side of the jet while I was parked some years ago.

The whole debate about Snoop Dog at the AFL grand final misses the larger point - that the halftime entertainment is always a bit shit. It’s the super-bowl halftime if you bought it off Temu. The AFL should try something or someone that’s not a US has been.

What idiot in Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 🇦🇺 thought this was a good idea? Photographed three rows behind Chairman Kim. The optics on this absolutely suck.

“Announce the formal alliance. Nuke NSW.”

I’m not naive enough to think that our nation’s elected officials won’t need to meet with unfriendly nations in pursuit of Australia’s foreign policy. But seriously, in whose interest was Dan Andrews acting? If Australia’s - who authorised it? If his own, WTF was he doing there?

Wrote a long letter to my federal MP. Haven’t done that for a while.

Next four days is SYD-MEL-BNE-MEL-BME-MEL-SYD-MEL-SYD-PER-SYD. RIP my back. 🙄

It’s a dynamic operation. Tomorrow’s SYD-MEL-BNE-MEL is now SYD-NOU-SYD-MEL (pax). Lucky for someone (not me) that I picked up my phone.

Some people are like a duck, moving serenely through their world, all the activity out of sight. Others are like one of those flappy wind guys outside a car yard - all movement and activity, yet achieving fk all (like the person driving the till at MEL coffee shop this am)

Cracking day in central Oz. About the clearest I’ve ever seen these icons.

Gnarly…..

I’ve just had to swipe away my first 🪰 of the season. 🙄

After this morning I don’t think I’d care much if the Australian government just pulled the plug on all social media. The internet is a f$&king cesspit. Lots of people need to take a good long hard look at themselves.

A mate of mine checked out on his initial command yesterday - so there’s some good news for the day. Anyone else want to share something?

Timeline cleanse. Have a snooze in the sun if you can. (Left him unattended for 3 mins and came back to this. Bless.)

We just got a battery installed which included these very cool taxpayer subsidised stickers. I think, on the whole, they make my garage look extremely butch and masculine. 💪 I’m very grateful to you all.

I don’t want the disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs, I want the one that kills the 0.1% because they are clearly the badass mofos of the microbial world.
