Been a while since I got to admit the last splurge I had, so here goes... Got roped in to learning to fly (getting my pilot licence) It's not cheap to learn (will take me a few years to get my ticket because I haven't got the cash to do it quick) so I figured that I'm better off learning as much as I can at home, instead of in the air where it costs. So - for under $500 I managed to get all the controls of the Cessna I'm learning in I've downloaded the plane and the airport I'm flying from and am going to setup my old unit into a flight sim to help me spend less time in the air learning. I've got all the controls (to hook up to the computer) from the red bit down - yoke, left switches, throttle switches, pedals, trim etc in the cockpit picture. Gauges and radios will be on the screen (I don't touch them at this point, so just have to get used to glancing at them) I'm going to set it all up in the old Monaco GP racing box (gut the unit and set it up as a cockpit)

Nice - escaped the swear filter. Am going to start calling *beep* bizcunts from now on

Yep - we were trying to work out where the insult was "Ya mum drives a garbo truck" might have been valid, but a V8 wasn't really an insult

Can't you do a doctorate - then go for your phd?

PhD you need to contribute something new to the field don't you (or present your work) - doctorate you don't?

It's the sound the headboard of my bed makes when I'm banging a chick

Reminds me of my mates mums car back in high-school almost 30 years ago. Someone random yelled abuse at him one day - "Ya mum drives a V8" - as if it was an insult "Yeah, she does........"

Enjoy NZ - great place - a lot like Tassie, but bigger You headed North Island, South, or both? (you there now or just having a pre-early airport drive drink? My alcomahol pic below - 8kg brisket for scale

Dr Acular?

"Need a new job for more free time/less stress" "Just enrolled in a Doctorate Course" Are you a masochist?

Ouch - (liked the comment when I saw the 30% off, but before I saw the rear end). Am in the same boat as you - try to fix 1 problem and something totally unexpected happens :( Getting to the stage where if everything works right then you end up waiting for the crash. Hopefully everything turns up ok in the light of day.

Only if I was off to here tomorrow

Actually - has been a great weekend Caught up with a mate I haven't seen in over 20 years last weekend. Mentioned he likes hunting, but has no one to go with. Have got another mate from the same time I'd kept in contact with (all 3 of us worked at a supermarket together in the early 90's) and I know he's a member of the local Clay Target shooting club and goes deer hunting when he gets the chance. Anyway - called the other mate during the week and the 3 of us headed off to the local club Friday evening for some shooting at the clay targets (ok - pink plastic ones) I was in the beginners range (mate stayed with me to keep me company, while the other mate went to the members area and went through his couple of boxes of shells while we spent our 20) Was my first time shooting a shotgun (ended up about 50/50 hit/miss) which I was quite happy with. Was great to get the old team back together too - hopefully we'll be catching up more regularly and he's found someone to go hunting with. So... gun licence and pilots licence - going to be an expensive weekend in the long run lol

Mate called me up last night - he had a hacker in his computer and needed it fixed. He's already lost $16k due to it (getting a chargeback from the bank??) Went round this arvo to get to the bottom of it. His email account had been compromised (very, very weak password) and someone in China had set it to forward all emails to their own account. They'd edit the purchase invoices he was getting with their bank details , delete the original and send him the altered one with their own bank details for payment. Sorted it out for him - deleted the email forwarding and changed his password to something a 3 year old wouldn't be able to guess. Anyway - after sorting him out.... "Want to go for a fly?" (he's a keen pilot - head out a couple of times a week) "Sure" Me flying My house My caravan Phillip Island GP Circuit Was a great arvo - up again tomorrow night when he does his night time refresher cert (won't be any pics then) He's actually got me thinking about getting my ticket (flying to King Island or Echuca etc for lunch just because you can sounds very tempting)
