How much hard-earned am I going to spunk on this project? No fucking clue but I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of it, if only to give everyone the opportunity to point and laugh. In a past life, when I was a boat owner for the first time, an old guy at the boat yard spat out this pearl of wisdom:
If it floats, flies or fucks, rent it.
He’s not wrong though is he? It’d probably be cheaper for me to rent a boat whenever I had a hankering. Zed has his pilot’s licence now, and he rents planes when he needs to get his hours in. I’m pretty certain his missus would not be impressed if he bought one. As much as he’d love one. Having been married and divorced twice I can attest to the fact it probably would have worked out cheaper to rent a girl than marry one two.
Moving swiftly on.
Like a good little sailor I have tried to keep receipts for everything I’ve bought. With the odd exception here and there, but there’s been no major cost that’s been missed. I am wondering however whether I should add lunch, petrol and stops at the pub to the list. Probably not a good idea, I don’t want anyone thinking I’m a functional dysfunctional alcoholic. As you know, up until now I have had to keep everything top secret, so have been keeping all my receipts in the car, in the little pocket at the back of the passenger side seat. I can finally fish them out now!
I’ve added the Spunkometer to the side of the site (or at the bottom if you’re on your phone), and I will strive to keep that updated as regularly as I can.
