Where is that from ??? Expensive !!!!!!!

Ah wallowing in good memories : Damn that took me back ....watching the 747 on final for Pearson from my perch at 2,000 m to the west, Perhaps the best example of how good it can be - there 3 or 4 in the series. The guy was two time world champion. Over the five years I experienced most of...

You can sort of store a sailplane in your garage....most leave them out in the elements in their trailers. : Damn that took me back ....watching the 747 on final for Pearson from my perch at 2,000 m to the west, Never flew in the level of plane that guy has ..17m high tech but close Happy...

I'm holding on to my lovely red cap from Chile tho getting the occasional "look" thinking I'm MAGA ...they are not much in favour here I do love red and refuse to let it be hijacked ...the dumpf should stick to his orange. :mad: Cleared to ride tomorrow. ..echocardiogram showed nothing out of...

That took the better part of an hour to sink in....no wonder I'm struggling with Wordle.🦘

Never ridden anywhere at those temps but maybe some -10 in Uni. Had to light a little fire under the Superhawk to get the oil warm enough to crank. I rode all year in St Catharines for 4 years. I've been caught out in a few frog stranglers in North America when near a tornado touch down. One...

B I law is qantas captain has big sim set up. Throttles rudder instruments and some fancy Dan cockpit. Never enough when you love flying There is usually a cross over between sailplanes and sailing but I never got the bug Give me a throttle for a boat or bike Sailplane was the exception

Can't even afford a decent steak eating in anymore. Fortunately kangaroo is a wonderful healthy sub. No methane farts and tastes great medium rare which is how I prefer it, $9 for 3/4 lb high quality protein. Had half a kabob this morning with one egg - dog got to lick the plate.....happy...

I'm finally at the weight I could pass but no money and the tropics not the spot for sailplanes. Eyes would be okay - not sure what else would be a barrier. Last time I took a few years off I was surprised how little I'd lost ....1 check flight around the circuit and I was good to go. Thought I...

Now you made me troll my logbook. Sailplanes are different ...my check to solo was after 13 hours and I have the shortest solo on record at SOSA. Ground crew made an error and paired up a first time solo pilot with a first time solo towing pilot. Chaos almost ensued. It ll happened quickly. I...

a/b = antibiotics - hellish easier to type

I'm pretty stable with the catheter issue now but taking a/b has played havoc a bit and can't stop until teeth repair complete. I'm 1/3 of the way to the teeth repair/maybe 1/4 - just need to get past controlling with a/b. Another round next week. :eek: Getting old sucks.

Of course but good info to know. My progress will surely show up in my down under blog. The trick will be pulling strings to get early cardiologist appointment. We know the one we want, used to work with my partner who was cardiac nurse.

you would not have looked out of place Day dot.

Oh damn - jealous...I never made it to OshKosh ...one bucket list will not be ticked off. But yeah.....what a trek on an XT. :oops:

so whats next? :giggle:

Talk about a sea-change ...sorry about the pun. Foils.......

Kookaburras being rowdy - they are a bit ahead of the sun. 23 on the deck. So Nice and wanna ride. :cry: Glad I did not. Riding buddy and gf got caught out in waaaay more rain than expected " torrential" was his term and finally got home way late. 8.30 pm after leaving my place well before...

Nice relaxed day at Lake Barrine THEN I noticed my heartbeat monitor going stupid - 130-140 bpm - and I have been sitting for the better part of an hour. I can't feel anything wrong but that's not good. I wait a bit but not going down so I slowly make my way to the bike and cautiously ride the...

There are a few that pass the various safety tests both open and closed. I much prefer them. BTW your current helmet is perfectly safe to ride in. You could replace the liner. But you might like the convertible more.
