    Sleep is such a strange thing. I’ve been on courses this week and back to work today. This means that I’m getting out of bed 90 minutes earlier. I’ve been going to bed at pretty much the same time also. So the weird thing is that I feel more awake awaiting my ferry this morning than I have the last three mornings.

    Another odd thing to do with sleep, I have in the past easily survived off 6 hours when working, but then if I’m having days off I’ll be in bed for like ten hours. ( Or more ) Another thing about my sleep patterns is that I usually wake up in the night for an hour or so at which time I get on Reddit until I fall asleep again. ( Battery saver on so black screen ) That’s how I generally nod off in the first place also. I’ve been doing that part for over ten years now. If I don’t do that my mind races and I’m then even more awake.

    On a completely different subject, due to going to courses this week I have been going on the same roads that I used to in my last job. My Ute is LPG which is getting harder to find. I noticed that two of the servos that I used to go to now don’t sell it at all. Luckily my current trip to work has one on the way, and there’s another one just past my place of work. In the old days all the cabs were KOG and the stuff was everywhere. This is not a great situation.

    Well there’s my ranting for the morning. I have an email that I should be spending time on instead really.

    Have a lovely day, It’s almost Friday.

      As I don’t have a lpg car, I never really paid it much thought, but now you mention it, I legit can’t remember the last time I saw a place to get any! Crazy how things can just be missed/disappear and you don’t notice.

      Still rocking LPG? Dang… We had a Triton on LPG back in the earthly/mid 2000s and even then LPG was getting to be a pain to find. It also got to a point where it didn’t really stack up cost wise as well as it used to, as LPG prices went up faster than petrol and the price disparity no longer covered the reduced economy.

      You’ll have to get on the EV train eventually. The way the Chinese are pushing down prices and giving such incredible value for money is such a well deserved kick in the nuts to legacy car makers who have rested on their laurels for the past decade.

        Yeah I hear you about the LPG issues. I get it for $1.09 so it’s not terrible. Freedom Fuels sell it for almost $1.50 which really does stuff things up.

        And yes to electric, it really is coming along nicely. BYD is a weird name but damn they’re producing nice looking vehicles and they’re kicking arse.
