Quote of the day, from Mr Hegseth:

 

"The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top."

 

I think the clowns have been out for quite a while.....

Is that like throwing a noose over a rafter in preparation for hanging yourself?

Well.. Not really...  To be honest, in my case, it would be a godsend. Not a large enough payout to be life changing, but enough to buy me a good chunk of time to work on the property and get going myself. Time for me at the moment is precious - I have not much left over between work and some domestic items that have to be attended to. As I am 6 years at the firm, it would free up some time for me to get stuck in as well.. most of what has to be done now I can do; so it would be a life raft in the move back to Aus, which is now about a decade in the making. 

 

(And I know for some, they are thinking long may that continue ;-))

From what I saw of his speech the ideological clown was definitely in and loaded up with testosterone. The patriotic cowboys must have been backstage.

I just love how they accuse everyone else of being exactly what they are...

 

Except, they are also hypocrites.

Way out of their depth in a real World. Full of their own self importance.  Unable (or unwilling) to see the side effects of what they do. Nev

OneTrack hasn’t been around since June despite being a frequent contributor. I don’t suppose anyone knows what happened to him and whether he’s OK?

I think his last activities on both this forum and RecFlying was June 30th., so over three months now.

[pmccarthy]

He has disappeared for weeks and months a couple of times in the past, so I hope no cause for alarm.

[Jerry_Atrick]

Agree.. But does someone have his email address and can give him a buzz to see.

I have sent OneTrack an email and am awaiting a reply.

Today is the big day. I have been to the Cochlear Support Centre and received the external sound processor, which is now turned on. It sounds completely different to what I expected, although I knew it sounded different to what I have been hearing. For example, the ticking of a digital clock sounds like someone tapping a metal pipe with a small spanner. I now have a couple of months for my brain to learn to deal with sound frequencies it hasn't received in years, and for the device to be calibrated to my hearing.

Not many in the world would have access to that solution. Nev
