Heavy fuel

Good morning world ...
Its a short week is week, with either 4 or even 3 days YAY!!!!
Was a lekker weekend my side, i accomplished VERY little. Went to Boys Town, close to Magalies as part of a Think-Bike / Christian Motorcycling group to introduce the boys to bikers. "have a good look boys, this is what will happen if you don't straighten up!!".
Yes. Was fun though, and certainly educating all round ... big thumbs up !!!
I gained a moment or 2 of fame as the guys noticed my camera avoidance system (CAS) on the bike. Honestly, and i know i'm biased, but sheet it works beautifully!!!
It proved it's worth this morning again, as pulled into the garage to buy smokes, and lo and behold there were about 6 metro pigs cars, with the guys and gals stocking up on coffee and nibbles. Well i ride without plates, something which would have attracted their attention for sure. No problem, quick flick and hey presto, a n number plate!!! So being thus legal, i pulled right in beteen the suckers and even smiled at them *grin* ... not that they could see ... helmet an all ... *chuckle*.
Someimes life is too precious.

Speaking of precious ... it seems the petrol woes are not yet over, in fact it seems like it's an even bigger problem than last week, which WAS just a scare.
The biggest refinery in south africa has just shut down. Govt is NOT getting involved in "employer/employee relations. Go Govt, we need more quiet diplomacy.
It WILL become a problem for us, because we've got the added problem of getting here, once they've imported it, which is sure going to cost THEM (the corporates .. BP and Shell were mentioned) a packet. Again i ask with tears in my eyes, wtf is SASOL not doing all it was supposed to, all that it was promised to us (the sa public) many years ago?
Either way, fill up, and keep it filled up. Also, be careful when you do, because when the fuel tanks are low and you fill up, you very kindly help the garage owner recycle all the crap and sediment that accumulates in his tank over time. And YOU get that crap in YOUR tank. So ask if they've been filled recently, like in the last few days, otherwise you'll be buying yourself a tank full of engine damage.

Ho Hum time for me to pretend to work......
