actually we aren't really suffering from "writers block" its just that we have had a pretty busy week and have been a little slow to get a "blog" written.. I bet that there are hundreds of you out there who are relieved to see we're back "on!"
We did one of those "roundtoit" things today,(round of appluase) that all of us have and hardly anyone ever does anything about!.. it was to paint two white lines on the concrete where we push the Pitts in and out of the shed (its tooo small to call a hangar,,, the shed that is!) and as there is only about 300mm clearance on each side, we have to be pretty careful. Quite some time ago, (after Ali let her side hit the wall!!!! bugger) we came to the conclusion that lines on the concrete would be a good idea.. so.. today, we got it done.. they look good too! if anyone wants us to add a photo.. send us a comment and we'll oblige.. they really do look the part, we even used masking tape and a tape measure to get them straight!
On the flying front.. we've completed the annual "duck count" for the local fish and game people.. This involves quite a bit of low flying around all sorts of farm ponds, and some lakes all the way South to Springs Junction, and includes Lake Matiri, just North of Murchison.. Google Earth those, and you'll get the idea.. took about 3.8 hrs flying, and is quite physical, add a hot day, and we were well and truly ready to get out of the plane when we got back. We use the Beechcraft 4 seater for this.. NOT the Pitts. actually, doing some of it in the Pitts would be fun... anyone for inverted low level duck counting??? the two phots are just of the view from where I'm typing away on the computer! my office outlook could be worse.. :)
