Because that stuff leads to situations like today, where I've spent half the day looking for something, and so far failed to find it. It's fairly big too, so how the f* is it hiding so well?

content: I had a LOT more interest last year .. maybe they're still on holiday. Well, it's all sitting in the 1/2 empty garage, so it's not like it has to be outof here. I'll let it sit a bit longer. One of my contracts has trucks often going to Sydney / Brisbane. Might have a word with them next week.
