The adventures of Almigo

She sure doesn't look pretty but she'll do the job nicely!

Yes I've decided to embark on my most ambitious project to date (well aside from changing a rocker cover gasket on a WRX, on a scale of what I can do that one was pretty ambitious) and build a fully functional arcade emulation machine for the back shed. Aka one of these bad boys. Probably not this one though.. Do I need a fully functional arcade emulation machine? No not really. Will I complete a fully functional arcade emulation machine? Well hopefully, that is the plan. Will I break things along the way? Undoubtedly, this is me we're blogging about. Am I in for a world of pain for doing this? Damn straight. Come join me, this should be fun...(ish)

This week I got my muscles crushed, ended up in casualty (totally unrelated) and built the roughest and toughest looking horse possible. Rougher than this thing. Oh and I might start collecting razors in order to make me a millionaire.

Busy week this one - my legs are stiffer than Scott Steiner in a Japanese wrestling ring, I met a burger that stopped me in my tracks and someone wants my name on Facebook for some reason... Feel the burn!

Okay, so I didn't pick a winner last year. Nor the year before that. And yes, if you go back even further, I didn't pick the previous winner the year before either. But hey, I'm probably due. So get ready to pay the mortgage off in one big hit as I present to you 'Almigo's guide to picking a red hot winner in the race that stops the nation, the 2015 Melbourne Cup! Read on horse fanatics!
