I'm like both of you re: the 'Derby', no idea who's running but can't wait to watch it.

Rooms at the hotel here where I work go up to $5000 per night during Derby. My house is a couple miles from the track.

Hopefully that includes turn down service and a mint on the pillow...... :D)

I'm a very single with no attachments. What does $5000 get you? I know it is a stretch. But do I have to provide my own cuddle partner? Lol.

You really don't get a lot of bang for the buck. Even the rubber ducky is not free.

The thing about it is, most of these rooms are bought by companies, and the actual people staying don't even know the price.

That's just what I'm planning on getting Admiral in the car but also with a USB port as well.

But 1 thing that I'm not doing is going out to buy a smart phone or mp3 player to stick in it.

Ahhh..., less than 90mins to go now and I should have another 58L beer brew going. :-)

Cheers.

G'morning everyone.

I'm just waiting for the rain to arrive here (it's running late), but it's not far away now.

DG, after doing the numbers an mp3 player is out and a new CD/radio unit in the car with a few USB sticks is in. ;-)

Beer O'clock in 4hrs.

Cheers.

My car radio is cd/mp3/phono aux. Just burn 4 or 5 mp3 subdirectories or up to 700 mb of data on a blank cd. It can read the root directory like a cd changer. Using the phono aux input I can listen to a iPod or iPhone. I also like going to a internet hotspot on lunch break with my iPad and watch some Netflix in near theater sound.

They're going down pretty well :) Not long till weekend beer o'clock :) Peace and cheers :)

G'day Mike and Zapped, I trust that the beers there are going down well. ;-)

At this time of the morning here I'll just have to stick with a coffee.

Cheers.

Cheers Zappy. :)

The monitor on my laptop decided to stop working, now using an external one. I shall celebrate my excellent repair skills with a beer :) Peace sand cheers :)

G'day Wiggo and Gordon (if you're still up). I'm getting ready to run the reaper in my yard(grass is really tall, lots of rain last 3 days). Wiggo I came up with a variation on the Rum & Coke I call a "Hollywood Cuba Libre'", 2 shots of a good rum over crushed ice, fill 3/4 with coke and finish with 2 shots of heavy cream.

Tastes like a cream soda with a kick.

I'm like both of you re: the 'Derby', no idea who's running but can't wait to watch it.

Well TTFN, Beer O'clock in 6 hours CHEERS!

[Edit] Wiggo, the reason I posted was to ask if you had checked on IPOD FM transmitters for your car. I have one that plugs into my IPOD and charges while it plays my music over a vacant FM freq. Works great for me I can carry up to 250 Gigs of my favorites.

Tomorrow I've got a beer brew to put down in the morning and then I'll likely spend the rest of the day going through a sh*t load of music that was given to me to expand my jukebox library.

Cheers.

I've got a ton of music I need to put on my little mp3 player so I can listen to it here at work. I plug the player in to the muzak system here.

Yeah, I'm going to have to upgrade the sound system in my car to either accept a MP3 player or just take USB sticks (both ways would be best in the end).

USB sticks would likely be a better option for me though, due to the amount I have and those systems that would take an external USB hard drive maybe out of my price range (especially in a 20yr old car). ;-)

I don't know who's running either Gordon and I just got back from the pub. ;-)

I am sure that I'm beer'd out now, so it's time for Rum O'clock. :-D

Cheers.

It's been a long time since I've had a rum n' coke. Never drank them when out; it was mainly an at home thing. Either way, if I had a pub closeby like you do, I'd be in there at least enough for a couple Guinness once or twice a week. :~)

Once or twice a week (sometimes 3) is about all I usually get in on a good week Gordon, but lately I've been so busy (or tied up) it's been hard to get a day a week in this year (unless work finishes down that end of the village). :-(

Also the rums I have are only an at home before bed drink here, if I'm out it's just beer only (unless I've been kidnapped). ;-)

Tomorrow I've got a beer brew to put down in the morning and then I'll likely spend the rest of the day going through a sh*t load of music that was given to me to expand my jukebox library.

Now I'm just hoping for a quiet night without any C.W.'s turning up.

Cheers.
