Got any job vacancies, I've been practicing on FSim, I think I'm pretty good. :exclaim:

We haven't done any "new hires" for a while now.  Unlikely too with the price of oil below $50 per barrel.  The oil companies have wound back their new exploration projects.

Saying that, if you are good on FSim, I'd hire you!!   :goodjob:

You flyboys have a language all of your own :eek:

I will convert it to English for those that don't speak aviation.   :lol:

Aah - here I think we'd say "flying by the seat of your pants", or something like that.

Nah, that is flying without planning.  Bones of your arse is bare minimum fuel.

@ Neptune, wouldn't mind catching up for a coffee on maybe the 16th or 17th over your way somewhere?  :undecided:
Would that suit?
A few days ago we got to 46 degrees where I am, 44.5 I think in Perth, but thankfully now cooled off to around 18 degrees overnight and 32 tomorrow.  :) Happy with that.

- It is Sunday and I am not really keen for work tomorrow, but most people are returning from leave so we shouldn't be under too much pressure anymore. I do have 8 UPS's to install, however so I think by tomorrow night my back is going to run away along with my liver :rolleyes:
+ I sat inside a VW Golf 7 this weekend and while it is a nice car overall I am not a VW fan, but one thing that I can't wrap my head around is the very nifty towbar design that they use. It would surely eliminate any fines such as the unfortunate one PaoloS racked up a while ago...

Seems nice and secure ??
It is quite. I deployed the one on my mate's car last night and jumped up and down on the hitch a bit. Didn't move an inch.

Which reminds me, I have a removeable towbar but I still need to get a key cut for it (Works in progress since June)...my procrastination knows no bounds :lol:

+ First night of holiday in Macksville. About and hour south of home.
- Jeep got real hot and spat all its coolant out.
+ Let it cool on side of road for 1/2hr while I hard wired the A/C fan because it wasn't running for unknown reasons.
+ Had a full tank of water in the camper for refilling radiator.
+ Engine started and ran ok the last 30km to caravan park.
+ Mum and Dad have come with us also from Tamworth. Free baby sitters :)

I sold a Jeep.    :lol:

That will only happen in 3 1/2 years when I buy a 4-door Wrangler to replace it with.

Those new Wranglers are good looking cars, I'm glad they went the V6 route and made them tougher like the old CJ7's :goodjob2:

In the water.  Needs to be at least every hour.
Also,  first application should be 15 minutes before exposure to the sun.

Made it home this morning. Grabbed a new Rad cap before leaving town and towed dads camper and he towed mine (much lighter) temp gauge was pretty well behaved.

I always wear a cap in the pool. 

One of the reasons I have a very short hair cut (called "balding clippers) is that it is easier to rub sunscreen all over my head, without hair getting in the way.  The main reason is that if the hair is going, then it is going on my terms.

I keep my back and sides shaved (head, that is) and really dislike the sandpaper going on velcro effect if I miss a day.

On topic,
+ inserted the SIM into my new Moto G last night and will be pairing it with my new hands free GPS this morning. :happydance:
