Collected the bike today and knocked up just over 250 km. Goes lovely, very smooth, extremely comfortable, and a big old lump. 🤣

Looking good Skip.  Be interested to hear how you get on with it.   Imagine Pete’s reaction, would have kept us all entertained.   🤣

Anyone who can read a book while riding a unicycle and balancing an egg on their nose can fly a helicopter.

I actually did use my CPL (H) for a few years when I was on contract for a communications project in the Middle East but it was an addition to my main role.


In a fit of enthusiasm I did my instrument rating too - hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Going to refit the water pump to the rover in a bit. She'll want to go shopping so the water pump may take a while.
Round a friends tonight for a drinking games night.
See you Tuesday.

My eldest brother is terrified of flying and the engineering firm he worked for had a few months work on a lighthouse off the coast of the UK somewhere> The only way there and back was by helicopter, After the first day he bought a load of camping and fishing gear and stayed in the lighthouse for a week at a time, He said the time after the helicopter left was great but started getting really stressed as the weekend approached with the thought of the flight off there lol.

Don’t be disrespectful, they need a big kitchen to run the soup kitchen for the scheme.
