Missed approach would be fun, power line on steroids and rising terrain.

Mark the calendar.

Thanks , the clicking my avatar part was the bit I needed. Had been trying to get in there by clicking my user name.

This bit might have been enough to get the message across?

Don, Glad you mentioned the years leading into Andy's term on the board. It is often easier for one good man to have influence from outside the committee, than from within. Andy you certainly did a lot to forge the new direction for the association even before you took your place on the board. Our constitution gives any member the opportunity to make change, only some are clear thinking and articulate enough to propose a better course, and rally the support required to get the changes passed by the members. Andy, Well done and all the best to you.

I was trying to edit the "aircraft" portion under my avatar.

Ian can you point me to the right place to tidy up my profile. I can see a report button but no edit one.

Probably better off with with a Jabiru anyway. Jeeps are bits of dogs!

Welcome Paul. Good grader drivers are like good pilots, they have years of experience. I have similar experience as you do in both pursuits, but we must have a go! The strip will settle down, and the hours will build. Good luck with it.

My hangar is 16.00 x 12.49 m! The DA is only required for buildings in excess of 200 sq m. that ended my desire for a 18 x 15 hangar in one phone call. My strip and cross strip are my own concern on my own property.

http://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/hunt-for-missing-miner-bruce-schuler-ends-era-of-trackers/story-fndo4ckr-1226427461934 this is the most modern story I can find on the subject. Looks like I am going to run out of people to ask about it anyway.

Do black trackers follow energy or ground signs? I have always believed they felt their way like diviners, but have never met one to ask.

I was told that the 912iS motor needed glass instrument panel, but have since been told the senders should work with standard instruments, so that would bear more questions of Garry at Floods.

They will be too busy to lose paperwork now, with 1000+ members rushing in to secure their bonus six issues of their paper magazine for $90, before it's too late.

Mark, they have a new outer bracket that goes over the top of that original one, makes it much better looking, but doesn't transfer ridiculous loads further up the firewall frame like mine, and probably your modified ones do. The plane Reg finished building at Christmas time was the first kit I have seen with the new parts, but it could be retrofit unless the modification gets in the way.

I am quite sure I saw that last woman in the people of Walmart!

After a marathon with the Telstra level 3 engineer this afternoon it looks like a break-through may have come by turning the network mode on the phone to 3G only instead of allowing it to search through 4G/3G/2G looking for the best signal. Data speed tests are considerably better at peak congestion times than previously, if that continues I will be a much happier camper. If not, tonight is a freakishly good night for internetting.

Gallagher opened the morning paper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend Finney and asked “Did you see the paper?, they say that I have died” “I saw it “ Replied Finney, “Where’d you be calling from?”

Sean is the Vicar of a Protestant parish on the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, Patrick is the Priest at the Roman Catholic Church across the road. One day they are seen together erecting a sign that reads: “The end is near, Turn yourself around now before it is too late!” As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out of the window and yells “Leave people alone you religious nutters, We don’t need any of your lectures!” From around the next curve they hear the screeching of tyres and a huge splash. Shaking his head Patrick says “Dat’s da tird one dis mornin’”, “Yaa” Sean agrees, “Do ya tink maybe da sign should just read Bridge Closed?”

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had a very import meeting and couldn’t find a parking place anywhere. Looking up to heaven he said ”Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking space I will come to mass every Sunday and I will give up my Irish Whiskey!” Miraculously a parking space appeared. Paddy looked to the sky again and said “Never mind, I found one!”

That would be the attitude of the pilot.

Have you fallen out of love with the Lightwing?

That's not a very nice way to talk about your husband Sue.

Been there, it ain't a pretty option. One of the biggest issues with all these substandard internet options is that web page designers squander capacity on high definition images just because they can and everyone has broadband don't they. It should be compulsory to have programmed a Commodore 64 before putting up a web page. That way every bit would be carefully considered.

I have a satellite dish on the roof, carried over from the transition from dial-up. It never provided much better than fast dial-up anyway. The combination of throttling the upload and download speeds and latency issues made it about twice as good as dial-up with ranged from 28.8 - 31.2 kbps. It was also impossible to get to hook up under heavy cloud or rain. Really took the fun out of watching BOM radar! When we initially transferred to wireless mobile broadband it was a considerable improvement but it has got so oversubscribed now that is only any use to chronic insomniacs.
