Years back I got thrown and landed on my shoulder, martial arts training and my partner didn't commit to the throw, ended up with a bruised rotator cuff and deep tissue damage. No surgery necessary, but I had 6 - 8 weeks of pain and discomfort. I couldn't even hold the steering wheel with my right arm, I had to drive with my arm hanging straight down, luckily right hand drive over here so I had plenty of room for it to dangle. I do remember how painful it was, get well soon, and listen to your doctor, don't risk further injury.

School holidays + the first sunny day in a while meant all the grumpy old ladies decided to come through the doors today.

If it's not enough having screaming kids crawling all over the place (we do mini golf as a way of supplementing the core business), having to contend with cranky old ladies who think it's their right to be rude and ignorant made for a frustrating day.

One woman asked me "are you just the cleaner or do you know anything?". Clearly my attempts in growing a beard to look older and more knowledgeable are not working.

Should have said you were just the cleaner, and then mumbled "Where's my broom", and wandered off.

I've had a beard for over 30 years, it just makes me look old now, since it's mostly white. I grew it originally because I'm lazy, I hate shaving.

That's the real reason why I have been letting it grow, can't be bothered with shaving anymore.

"Excuse me, ma'am, but I need that broom there to clean up . . . or is that your ride home?"

They just did the service by the book. And most importantly, they didn't wash it or spray anything on the tyres, I told them not to, but it was raining. So I'm pretty happy with all that.

Did you get just a straight up oil / oil filter change and inspection, because i think you could do that Dave only take 1 hour and no jack just slide right under.
