The adventures of Almigo

A very welcome email popped into my inbox the other morning - I'd passed the threshold for Google Adsense advertising and $100 was now on its way to my bank account. Awesome! Not me nor my cheque. Not even close.  If only it hadn't taken three whole years to get to that level...

No no, not a cleaning service for your drones (ie they fall into the mud as you try to spy on your naked neighbors), nay a house cleaning service...involving a team of drones. Clean team one. Ingenious no? Read on!

In my history of rentals there have been very few neighbors that I'd happily invite around for a beer and a BBQ. Most have been friendly (save for the ancient battle ax in Bendigo that used to hassle my girlfriends..) but there were never good mates type neighbors that we've truly got on great with. Artist impression of said battle ax Until now. And now I have to apologize for sending a bunch of illiterate idiots around to their place..

Okay Blogspot Bloggers if you're wondering why you're getting Adsense ads appearing on your front page but not on your individual blog posts? Well I reckon I've figured it out..

Christmas Eve 2019 - there was a thunderclap and lightning storm so loud it triggered a lock down at a local pub and when we finally braved the heavy rains and made it home, we discovered my router modem hadn't fared so well after it either.. I love my D6220. When it hasn't had lightning bolts thrown at it.

A rag tag team of derelict ship scavengers discover a bizarre melded combination of lost ships in the middle of deep space and when they investigate it doesn't take them long to realize that nothing is what it seems.. An army major is tasked with the impossible: Prevent a base with no escape being overrun by overwhelming forces. They're out numbered, out gunned and nothing they come up with seems to work... Dessert raiders slaughter an archaeology team in the dessert only to discover a strange survivor asleep in one of the tombs. They take him back to base and that's when the horrors begin... New intriguing specials coming to Netflix? Nay. All books I started writing but never got round to finishing in 2019. Maybe 2020 will be my year?

An important lesson has been learnt early in 2020 and that is 'Don't move house in January.' Seriously, just don't. For the sake of your wallet and mental health, just don't. Not that we really had a choice...but still. DON'T.

So the first day of 2020 and there I am in the Doctors waiting room on no coffee and a handful of hours of sleep, courtesy of counting down the back end of 2019 at a friends pool party. So a pool related party activity you ask? No something that's hung around a lot longer than that...
