And to my fellow Aussies, melting in 45c (113f) the past few weeks. Hang in there, it'll back down to 40 in no time.

Definitely not what my mother told my sister 'cuz my sister came home with the 1% HD riding type.  Jocko was heaps of fun for the 16 year old me.  He definitely contributed to my delinquency.  

Last winter was much easier to get through when my K was in piles of parts scattered everywhere.  This winter is "the long, dark teatime of the soul", to quote Douglas Adams.
