Answer in the link re gonclaves - thanks Toby is a master!

Is gonclaves out now?

Awesome riding!! Keep it up Toby

Enjoyed the read. I've lived in Canada, Asia and Australia The best place is here!

What are your plans? Or have you already got a dream job? Mine flying scenic flights in a float plane....

I remember being told 20+ years ago a bloke from adelaide drive a Mitsubishi colt to Sydney on 2litres of fuel - rest was from water Mitsubishi bought out his idea for $55M Not sure how true this is

So lets apply this to the sky... Small aircraft and especially microlights - get the F___ out of our way says the "bigger", faster, commercial operators (obviously more important planes)

Fell off my bike on the weekend - got squeezed between the car and kerb - I can only guess the driver doesn't see me - despite a skinny bike lane painted along the side leading up to the roundabout... Where it occurred Next time im hogging the WHOLE LANE!

Got this one via email: Hopefully, this guy will run for office. He is laid back, looks intelligent,and appears to have what most current politicians lack.

Lets consider another industry ... The construction industry .... The cost of construction here is 4x that of say Singapore If we were to build buildings and sell them overseas (like a car) - we wouldn't ever sell any The cost of wages in Australia means construction costs are high ..... Charge out rates for an electrician is $80/hr! OR is it a case of everyone overseas is underpaid --- of course they are --- so how can Australia be competitive --- we can't If property prices weren't high, it would not work at all.... And it only works because of the foreign investors The government never bothered to bail out struggling construction companies - and plenty of people lost their jobs. (the week before Xmas in my case - terminated with NO redundancy!) happily the company who did that is now gone - serves you right!!! The school spending spree was a complete joke!!! Schools didn't get to choose what they wanted - they just got a hall whether they wanted it or not AND it cost double (or triple) what it would have had the work been directly contracted.... And the builders who actually did the work made next to nothing!!!!

It's just occurred to me many good things start with "F" I.e Free Flying Fun Family Food

Id love to do so.... But having enough cash saved up to try is a real stumbling block...

I'll probably end up at bunnings At least not far to go to work

I reckon someone's had a go at farming there

That's brilliant!

Mini scooter tami 49cc folding wheel gas scooter I can take it flying and use it to get from the airport into town... [ATTACH]47385._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]47386._xfImport[/ATTACH]

I know if I had done as your mother said, I would have been miserable....

As I was walking home, this fly flew laps around my head despite the wind blowing hard! Couldn't get rid of it! Even though the fly is small, the wind seemed no problem to it! It's way to strong for Microlight flying. I have been told that small insects and flies actually swim through the air, because to them, the air is very thick If that's true, they are very good at it because they can fly in strong wind and change direction instantly.... I guess very little inertia to deal with and plenty of air friction!

It would be better than the whistle activated ones...

Yeah, I guess not niche enough... I'll keep think'n

Taking everyones ideas on board, here is the new years resolution. ill start 5 businesses 1st - a dating website - covering everything from casual affairs to serious love seekers. That will bring in the cash to fund the next idea. 2nd - a website that allows people to connect and get together to work on a project they are doing ... Call it "lets_get_together" - bit like this forum helping get business ideas together or building a plane etc but much better than facebook 3rd - an app that gives you a cute pet (of your choice) to feed and love 4th - an online shop that sells thongs, beach gear (equivalent to rip curl etc) and copy Lorna Jane PT clothes 5th - a new aircraft construction company along the lines of the Icon A5... You can already place a deposit... Once we have 100 orders at $25k each, I'll let you know what your getting!! I couldn't add the 6th cause I don't know enough about mining, but we could sell bottled rainwater from Tasmania! (Summer is coming) Who wants to invest.... Get in early before you miss out... Share only $10 each... Limited tom1 million shares Regards Mark
