Day 13 - March 11th
Me, Phil and Askham tied shit to a mechanical toy train and set it off across Cross Rd, there's a video of that shit.
Also found Tech Decks

        Oh! This day was actually fantastic. Phil, Askham and I were drinking in Glandore the suburb where we all grew up. We went for a walk to the bottle shop, and on the way there – and it was the middle of the day mind you – we found a sidewalk full of hard rubbish outside someone's house. There were Tech Decks (remember those little finger-sized skateboards?) and ramps to go with them, and there was a working plastic train that chugged with determination at around the pace of a scuttling ant.
        The train was maybe as big as a shoe, and had some decent torque in its little engine, so we tied fishing line to the back of it, attached a bunch of plastic bottles, and like proud parents we set it off across a main road, aimed at the bottle shop on the other side. Every now and then a car would come past, slow down, and carefully drive around the tangle of plastic, and every time it did I was disappointed. I wanted to see the carnage as a truck or bus ran straight through the little guy, but it just kept going across the road in the hot, midday sun.
        We took a video of it that was inevitably very boring – just us cackling and wheezing as the engine chugged across the road. When we got bored of it we took our beers and Tech Decks back to my place and played with them until we got drunk and went to sleep.
