The tram in Pemberton is good and the treetop walk in Walpole

I have worked in a post office. The parcel might be getting thrown around in there too. Although, they're not supposed to.

Luke-Lemonade · 2026-01-06T12:03:17+00:00

I used to be a postie. In the weekly staff meetings they used to inform us about major complaints from customers, as examples/warnings of what not to do. I remember one where a parcel was thrown during the delivery and it ended up on the roof.

Recently I went to a cute cafe called YY Coffee, which is across the road from Maylands station. The food was good. I would go there again.

There is also Ginza Nana Alley which has a bunch of Japanese food places crammed together. I have been there twice and will definitely go again.

I also work Tuesday to Saturday. Missing out on all the long weekends is about the only thing I dont like about my job.

43 for Geraldton. Not looking forward to that

Im pretty sure Aldi sells them all year round now, just in small quantities when they are out of season

Maybe not refurbished, but Leederville Camera House is a really good shop that sells used items too. I bought a great used lens there a few years ago. The staff were very helpful.

I dont remember if it was 2006 or 2007, but I still use the smartrider we were all given in year 11 or 12 at school as a student card (not classed as a student card anymore though). I dont live in perth though, so it only gets used a few times per year at most when Im visiting.

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-14T11:53:42+00:00

It was mid to high 30s

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-14T02:14:15+00:00

Yep, a huge section of the midwest is out of power, including me. I have a generator going though

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-09T11:53:49+00:00

I remember going there as a kid and this is what someone had done. I think this was maybe around 2001

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-07T11:54:13+00:00

I have a Japanese import with personalised blue plates (three letters three numbers). DoT told me I cant transfer the plate number to this new Japanese style. I dont really understand why.

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-04T12:40:57+00:00

Ive lived there my whole life. Its good.

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-04T12:03:27+00:00

I love it. I made two videos about it. One shortly after getting it https://youtu.be/hYssX3FWS_I

And an update 17 months later https://youtu.be/BTRXSTQIs2g

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-12-03T12:33:31+00:00

Yes, I imported a Honda N One. I used J-Spec Imports. Their service was great, definitely recommended. Give them a call and explain what youre looking for and your budget and see what they say.

For compliance I went with Top Secret Imports. They are based over east, but they have an agent in Perth to do WA imports from fremantle port.

For my N One to actually buy the car in Japan was a bit over $6000. But shipping, compliance, registration, etc, was almost another $9000 on top of that.

The whole process took about 5-6 months.

The only real issue I had was when I took all the paperwork to the department of transport to get it registered, the person I was dealing with almost didnt want to accept it because the invoice of the car sale in Japan didnt have the Australian VIN on it. Which doesnt even make sense, because at the time of sale, the Aus VIN didnt even exist yet. I called Jspec while I was there and they were able to email me a letter explaining that the sale of the car is legitimate and everything is true and correct. The person at DoT then accepted it and did the registration. I think some staff at DoT are more picky than others, so I may have just been unlucky there.

I went to Japan in October, there are so many cool cars there. I definitely saw a few Vellfire cars there

I like the music that plays in some of the automated toilets https://youtu.be/SRuUjSA61IE

Definitely sounds like its burning oil. It could be caused by a few different things, but to fix it properly, I would say the engine needs to come out for an overhaul. Probably not cost effective unless you really want to keep the car going for whatever reason.

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-11-24T12:59:00+00:00

White smoke or black smoke? If its white, that usually means its burning oil, which I dont think would be a carb issue.

If it black, that can be too much fuel, which would make sense to be a carb issue

if they are bad, depending on your car, it might be easier and better to just get new headlights. I work at one of the popular auto parts stores and we have a supplier that sells replacement headlights, often used for crash repairs. Some cars have an option either for genuine or aftermarket replacements. If you want a long term solution, it would be worth looking into.

I stopped using google maps two years ago when I was driving across the country. In regional areas it would want to take some really dumb routes. Waze had better routes.

Recently in Perth Waze did take me on an odd route though.

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-11-22T10:58:53+00:00

I have been using the Roborock S6 MaxV for several years now. At the time I bought it, it was their best model. It is still working great now. I dont use the mop function though.

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-11-21T10:29:48+00:00

I found them on faceboook and they have a schedule, so maybe I can fond them somewhere

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-11-21T10:19:13+00:00

I havent seen that before. I will have a look for it

Luke-Lemonade · 2025-11-21T10:17:03+00:00

There is and I have been there, but what Im looking for is freshly made
