That extra hour was nice.. Instead of having to get up and out by 10am, we really got until 11am, but I'll put the adjusted clock times here.

I was woken early (about 7.30am) by mate's phone ringing. He just cancelled it and turned it off.

I lay in, sleeping a bit more.

I eventually started getting ready about 9am.

Someone knocked on the door several times. I was just getting out of bed to answer it, when I heard the door open, close, and then the bathroom door close. Dunno who that was.

Watched some telly, got dressed, had a couple more Panadol, and a cup of tea.

I came down to check out a few minutes before 10am. The undies were still on the door knob. I left them.

I was feeling really seedy at this point, even though I drank water and stuff before I went to bed. It must have been all the beer.

I checked out, and waited outside for the others. Someone mentioned something about a parking voucher for the parking station. I went back to get one, you had to buy it, $19, god damn. I was thinking about not paying it before (when I thought it was $10, I wish I had just gone with that plan).

We went back to the car park, and loaded everything into my mate's car, we wanted to wander around the city a bit before we left.

We wandered around, the first record shop (that they went to yesterday afternoon) didn't open until midday, and it was only 10.45am. We went to the next one.. it didn't open until 11am, it was now 10.55. We didn't wait, we went to the next one..
It was open.

I wanted to buy Tron on DVD, but I couldn't find another DVD worth buying (it was a 2 for $40 thing, Tron was $42 on it's own).

We were in here for a while, and then we came back to the second record shop, had a look around. The others started complaining they were hungry. I thought I was a bit too seedy to eat, but the walking around helped a bit.

We didn't bother to go back to the first record shop, we went to HobbyCo instead (a models etc shop) Looked in there for a while. They had a model of the Yamaha 1600 Road King, almost my bike :-) Along with a few other good ones, like the BTTF DeLorean, Ecto1 from Ghostbusters, the Robocop Cop Car, but they were all cheesy snap together models.

We got some breakfast/lunch, at Oporto's. I wanted to buy some batteries somewhere, since I forgot to bring my charger, and I doubt the batteries in my CD player have got much left in them. I didn't find any. Maybe I'll just stop at a servo somewhere up the coast on the way home and get some.

We slowly wandered back to the parking station, I got my gear, came up to my bike, retaped the blinker, and took off.

I got to the boom gate at the exit, the machine said "Do not insert plastic ticket" and below "Insert plastic ticket" Make up your damn mind. I tried putting the parker voucher in "Please Wait" "Invalid".

Great. I rode around the boom gate (like I was planning to do anyway) and took off. That was a waste of $19.

I rode home, back over the bridge, up the coast.

I stopped in at a servo just before getting on the freeway. I bought and drank an energy drink, I wasn't feeling too bad, but it can't hurt.

I was going to buy batteries, but they were far too expensive, I decided I would just run the ones I had as far as they would go (they made it all the way home).

Some guy commented "nice bike" and all that, I chatted to him for a little bit, before I took off, got on the freeway, and came home.

I'd just come off the freeway, and I was heading for the road that comes down the hill to town, where I go through to get home.

As I came through the traffic lights, A cop car sitting facing the other way fired up, lights and siren and everything. Not Again! What is this?

I took off down the hill, took the back way off the main road, and raced into home. I'm getting sick of this, they must be out to get me.

I need to fix all my clocks, and load some new tivo guide data now. I got 87 emails (that got past spamassassin) since I checked it yesterday morning, and about 84 of them are spam.
