I was born in Tasmania which is an island off the south of Australia, about 500,000 people. Almost 2 years ago I moved to Darwin for work which is in the Northern Territory, where all the saltwater crocs are! It is a large territory but only has 230,000 people. Darwin is the capital of the NT with around 130,000 people. So I moved from freezing cold weather as far south as you can go, to hot and humid weather as far north as you can go!

Sure drop on buy, we will crack a can and talk Fish and NFL!!! ;)

"I need this. I don't know what it is, I don't know what its called, and I don't have a part number for it."

My brother used to work at Napa a long time ago, and people would come in to ask him for a part. He naturally would ask them what is the year, make, and model of their car, and surprisingly some people had no idea.

 

[Dtackett]

yeah I couldn't work in an autoparts store lol

I worked at Repco Auto Parts here in Australia for 6 years full time then a further 6 years casual after that, I used to get the same problem. They would ask for an oil filter for a hilux for example, I would say what model, they would say it doesn't matter they are all the same! So I wouldn't even look anything up, I would just grab anything off the shelf and sell it to them!

That is some sweet art man, you should draw fish or corals!

I am sure I could, but I wish I put more time into drawing but I only do it when in the mood which isn't often. There is something I want to do for a buddy in here, but it's not fish or corals. I really want to work on it, I just need to get more motivated I guess.
