So what do....

Postby Flying Trucker » Tue Jan 11, 2011 11:23 am

Goodly morning all... :)

So what do us Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers talk about at the bugsmasher field?

Well when the women folk are not with us most of us lie right through our teeth making fishing tales sound like boyscout stories... ;D

My second stop at the bugsmasher field, the first without the old girl this year, 2011 found the flying club house full of old retired rocking chair flying geezers and a few other male members as well.

They gave me time to fill my large mug full of tea, three sugars and two pulls on the cows teat before asking me what I was up to.

Telling them I had not purchased a new computer system, a motion chair or anything else that would go with a flight simulator because I was in the holding pattern waiting for Microsoft to deploy this new program called "Flight".

Most sipped on their tea or coffee and nodded in agreement.

[color=#000000]I know eggsactly how you feel Doug. I even expressed it in a poem a few years ago and got it published. No, I did not make any money on it. It was one of those deals at Poetry.com and I had to pay for the book. ::)

Anyway, I thought I would share it with you.

Flying Trucker, did you take a computer class while you were on vacation? Or do you know a little more about that "electronic gizmo" than you let on? ;)

He knows a lot more than he want's us to think. Trust me, he is a crafty old bird. ::)

Peace [ch9774] Doug, just kidding. :)

Goodly morning all... :)

It is a wonderful winter morning here.

Minus eighteen celsius (-18) without the windchill.

It has been snowing most of the night and it is still snowing... :)

Goodly afternoon all... :)

Just got off the telephone talking to another member of a local bugsmasher field.

It would seem some snowmobilers sometime between supper last night and 08:00hrs this morning had been out on the strip.  They also went between some aircraft and looked insided them and tried the locked door of the club house.

Nothing is out of place and no damage and of course no one knows who they were.

Apparently they can't read signs.

This member also mentioned about buying a new water cooled computer but we did not talk much about that.

I am wondering now, is water cooled on it's way out as there is something better or is it still new technology for computers?

Well there are two military helicopter buzzing up and down the bay, a C17 and several Hercs along with two civilian aircraft doing approaches here.

They are starting to drive me off my rocker, wish they would all go home and have a wobbly pop... ;D

I am starting to get the flying itch, perhaps I should go outside, climb a tree, flap my arms up and down and make aeroplane engine sounds.... ::)        ;D
