What's your Bathurst Routine ?

[XAGSV8]

This is one weekend that is sacred in my books and I do the same thing every year.

1. 3 to 4 months out: Make sure I have marked the weekend to take time off so nobody else books for then.

2. 4 Weeks out: Get the Bathurst program guide and use it for good reading on the dunny.

3. 3 Weeks out: Start my annual warning system of not to be disturbed at all during the weekend. Phones won't be answered by me and people visiting must talk outside of the lounge room or watch it and shut up.

4. Thurday afternoon: Stock up on 3 day's worth of drinks and food. And tapes.

5. Friday Morning: BBQ set up just outside of lounge room. I can stick my hand out of the door and turn the sausages. Kiss the other half good by and tell her I love her, banish her to the computer room(she is welcome to watch but refer to number 3) and tell her I will see her on Sunday evening.

6. Saturday/Sunday: Wake up 5 am and $h!t, shower and get breakfast ready. Put food and drinks in easky. Eat while watching and only move during advertisment breaks for the toilet. Swear too much when Fords drop out of contention, laugh like a psycho when the Holdens do.

7. Sunday evening: Cry to missus how Holden wins again by pure chance. (This year this routine will change though)
