I tried to become an Autogyro driver when they were in Easterncreek Sydney. But was frightened off with a $400 an hour training cost.

Was told year's later it was a none funny joke, a particular man person tells.  still don't get that joke !.

Even have the business card from the Schofields flying club. That long ago.

NUDITY.

It's great I do it Every time I shower.

Alway's wash your socks separately !.

Every-one I know was born NUDE.

Prove me wrong on that one.

Don't wear a hat just because of "alopecia"

Some planes are exceptional flyers.

The Hummel Aviation stable seems to be one of the better designers.

Probably the only Part 103 all metal aircraft.  Not the same specs as the faster or more frugal ones they have.

Even the Kiwi's had a pretender to that "first flight"

Wings on a bicycle frame going down a large hill.

" to elicit responses from admirers of  Aircraft Form."

I found one of my favorites in an Art Studio's pictures !.  Not once but twice

So someone thinks they'r beautiful.

check it your-self. : Makeshift - John Michael Kohler Arts Center_files. :

GO  HUMMEL LoL

This has to be a laugh.

I don't know if it's hanging on the wall, parked in the art center.

I had an  angle grinder accident, put a big scratch into my thick leather apron, glad  I put it on tho.  along with glasses & earmuffs.

 "high fructose corn syrup"

Now added to HONEY.

Cheap Bast,rds.  I love honey, Black instant coffee, with a spoon of honey, that's a good drink.

I keep trying to cut down on my Tea with milk and saccharin.

"And the ligeti stratos"

Saw the one in the museum, fantastic design.

Would love to see that aeroplane flying again,

spacesailor

They'r making cars that way too.

If all the airbags go off, the cars scrapped, because to replace them all, requires stripping the entire inside of the vehicle.

The outside of same vehicle can straightened, and panels replaced.

FOUND IT

My OLD grease-gun is worn-out,

Cleaned it out but the piston is loosing most of it's pressure from the bad wear, so will have to be replaced.

Worked out I have owned it for about 61 years, a good run !, but WORN-OUT, its a grease gun, never used without being lubed. LoL

The same same with the Fairy RotorDyne.

If only the bureaucratic knife wielder's in government hadn't the power's to ruin a company who invented, what possibly was the next leap forward in aviation,

we would not be trying at this date to get a vertical take-off passenger aircraft, that was past its trials in the fifties.

And yes it had faults, but don't they all at the beginning.

The company boss ordered all parts Destroyed by steam-roller, & all paperwork including any pictures burnt, 

That's the reason we can't make a new one.

The bluebottle jellyfish is beautiful too.

When it wraps its tentacles around your neck when swimming, It changes to awful.

Don't you agree !.

THE COMET.

Who's joking, Bad design, Bad work-man ship.

Five destroyed before they stopped it flying, (Or have I got the wrong aircraft).

Had to to it in a bath tank to test the fuselage, ( it failed ).

Just a  note

"The old LAME is great encouragement to keep going in your old age. While you're still upright and reasonably fit, and able to carry out tasks satisfactorily, you should keep doing what you like to do."

Was under my Delica today, & it's not just the normal things that get you,

But to get down & squirm around on the floor, or pumping the jack while on your back is bludi hard, compered to when we were younger.

Now can I remember where the Grease-pump was, the last time used.

Bad back brigade !

I  have a collapsed disk as well, In the USA they inject  a filler into the damaged disc to fix the problem.

Australia doesn't & just fits a steel ladder to your bones to stop any movement, fragile bones won't take much to crack with screws in them.

I have to exercise every day to keep my back working, now the hip tells me to sit still so it  doesn't  hurt.

Yes it will be in a public hospital.

As  a quote from another hip replacement person said, "The surgeon filled out the very basics in the Hospital Elective Surgery Admission Form then past it to me saying fill this out and take it to hospital Elective Surgery Administration.. Good Luck!"

 Yes it will be in a public hospital. So it's not just me being awkward, (Surgeon won't be paid for surgery, but get's $270 for their letter)

"What do you do with the silt though?"

Dry it Bag it & sell it, for a good return, like they do in Europe.

Sewage settling pond silt sells for a premium price at all the horticultural  markets. (but it has a nicer name )

This long range doctor, I believe is not the surgeon just a referral specialist. The surgeons will be "who-ever is on" at the time.

My GP has given me a list of telephone numbers to ring and to choose the earliest, I can get to get onto the wait list.

spacesailor

Six months just to see a BONE SPECIALIST for their referral letter, then I might get onto a waiting list for public hospital for the next few years.

Have my GP writing the referral to said bone doctor. I heard there is a dr in Merrilands or Wentworthville who bulk-bills, but doesn't advertise that fact.

" I can still get into the racing leathers made for me in 1976."

Big laugh or not,

I tried to get A leg into my hang-gliding harness, But only up to the thigh, was at the time 76klgs, now, fat legs ,fat belly, fat every were.

"on & off the scales" I have four set's of scales, two for the mains and one for the training wheel, and another for trailing wheel !. LoL

But on a serious note, anyone know of a person with a crook RIGHT hip, I would like to do a Swap for my left hip, for a couple of weeks at a time.

Give us both relief from the pain in the same leg all the time.

The old inch size, "Whitworth" did make More sense than the others in that you measured the Head of the nut or bolt-head for the size of spanner to use,

All the bolt heads & nuts were made smaller for saving metal in the war era, And that's the reason it's got no sense at all!.

Iv'e come across metric threads that are not normal in their thread pitch size, and have to get specialist taps or dies to rethread the job in hand, & it's still called SI.

It's no longer Imperial as it's AF, american -fine, sized threads.

The Congratulations Go To !

Anyone getting diabetes under control should get a medal.

My grand parents Parents & brother all suffered this disease, which I hope I don't get in  my ancient longevity.

Still using saccharin as I can't drink my tea unsweetened, & we all know how bad that is.

Congrats to all for weight control too.
