4 years ago in the middle of nowhere I tried to cross a mountain creek in a skid steer and the whole embankment caved in and I went 90 degrees vertical over the creek.... having to open the cab and fall out before getting crushed... totally sober.

Then I had to rescue the machine on my own because no cellphone or UHF radio coverage. I used two winches and my ute and at every point thought I was going to probably die... lulz

Everything was saturated with excess money up till 1987. Everbody was welcome at the trough.

I remember sneakily going through my father's suit coat pockets in 86 looking for smokes and finding a Christmas bonus check for $110,000
