Robby Kegel Getting Sweet Sushi

word on the street is robby kegel gets sweet boards from "GATO HEROI"

i dont blame him, hows the glass job. hot dang

Does back luck come in 3's?

alright so ive had the cold/flu - havent had one in years. my ear is still deaf, but on the mend and now MY BIG TOE!!!!

for those who dont know - the chaddy mac is a beloved physed teacher. much like toby of australian idol, he loves his job and the ability to surf before and after work. surf permitting.

whilst taking the year 7 kids down to gymnastics on Monday afternoon. Chaddy Mac aka "Mr Mac". thought it would be a good idea to sit down and take a rest as the gymnastics instructors took the kids through their routines.

at the back of the gym was a trampoline that was like a swimming lane that some kids were bouncing down into the foam pit at the end. the big fella was just to excited to sit there and began to take off his shoes and make his way over to the trampoline lane. having pushed the kids out of the way and said "ill show you how its done kiddies!" the big mac has procceeded down the trampoline. The gymnast lady has instructed me that i had to keep my arms out in front of me and bounce as high as i can and kick my feet up to my bum.

well, fark me - my first bounce was out of control - being that im a heavey set fellow it seemed the bounce i was receiving from the tramp was pushing the boundaries of gravity. the first bounce led into the second bounce and that was like seeing neil armstrong/ astroboy on speed. by this time i was totally out of control and heading for my last bounce and into the foam pit.

because my second bounce had covered so much distance and broken some long distance record on a trampoline my final bounce was right at the end of the trampoline lane. because i was winding up the windows furiously in the air my last bounce was solely taken by my big left toe. my "big Lefty" took all 110kg and hyper exteneded so it almost touched my shin.

having endured a split second of sheer agony i took off into the foam pit with catastrophic speed and was heading to the back wall instead of the foam pit. luckily i ducked my head and layed out some how and managed to land in the pit.

needless to say the whole gymnastics class including all 23 of my year 7s where in hysterics. i hobbled back to the pommel horse and sat on it red faced and with a damn sore toe.

looks like im out for another week.

Surfers Ear

having had mine drilled late 06 and recently seeing the cat having his ear done ive come to the conclusion that its a case of give and take.

because ive been taking waves i have to give a little back. like some of my ear.

recently i did some ear candling. id forgotten that having done candling like 5 months ago - i pulled up sore after it. im pretty sure that wax is a good thing because it coats the inner ear and if water gets in then it runs out.

being that my lady was keen as to candle some gunk outta my ears i accepted he invitation yet again having forgotten about last time i had tryed this.

the result was sqeaky clean ears but me surfing twice the day after didnt help. i reckon water has got in as it normally does, but because i havent had wax in there to help it run out it had soaked into my ear (eustation tube) and made it swell like a door. i have lost about 30-40% hearing in both ears, and they have been aching like shit when i burp.

i went to the docs and he wrote me out a nasal spray for congestion that thins the eustation tubes out so i can start hearing again. having written up my perscription the doctor got rather annoyed and said. do you wear a helmet? (said in a disgusted way). i replied "no" - he said my surfers ear had regrown back to 80% and will need to be drilled again within the year. "fark" - im bummed - ive got myself to blame because i didnt persist with ear plugs. by the way the other one is 20% filled.

give and take.

Fisho's

the swell has been a little lack lustre of late, unless you have known where to go. local loggers however have been taking it out on their rods lately.......


fishing rods that is. reports are just in that the kitten has thrown away the whiskas tinned food for the real deal. 32cm of trevally has been kittens choice.

the "Big Mac" supported mchappy day as he always does and has been fishing solidly. its either his looks or his hooks cos the big mac hasnt caught anything except a bung ear.
