Thanks. Now I've looked into it further I see it's normally on a Saturday. So should be able to book a Friday off with less notice. Else I come down with something on the Friday which miraculously comes good by Monday 😄

As per title. I have to submit my leave form for work soon and it would be nice if my leave was around those dates 🙂

American military is all metric, I'm surprised that doesn't flow on to the rest of the population. Some things may never change. Having six inches sounds more appropriate than having 150mm for instance 😄

Retail fuel profit itself is quite low compared to other products. When I worked at a servo, the margin was maybe 5% over wholesale. That's ludicrously low. To compare, a lot of things you sell on shop shelves would have 50-100 % mark up over wholesale. Which of course is where the servo makes...

If a train is heading west at 65 kmh and three dung beetles are eaten by five cimpanzees, does anyone hear the tree fall?

Two simple ways to explain it in my mind. 1) lift equals weight. The downforce of each little criiter equals their weight so nothing changes. 2) view the canaries as molecules instead. If molecules move around more rapidly in a closed container, the container will still behave in the same way...

My partner has been watching 'the voice' so that gave me some time to break out the Atari 2600 and play River Raid. Got a new high score. And it's aviation related 😄

I really like your nynja layout 🙂 don't think it would work on my instrument panel because it's more like a car dash. I wish I could though! Do you like your aviasport gauges? I went with them as well

I can't edit that post so just adding another line to the thread by adding this pic :oh yeah:
