The Never Ending Story

.........dogs are taught the languages of the world using AI, and taught how to develop personalities, but the one thing TCTO hadn't got around to was teaching them to observe basic health precautions when deciding what to eat.

 

Over several days around Vijayawada Toto was known as the "Flying Dog", seeminglu rocket powered and leaving a yellow trail arc through the air, but there were thousands of complaints at his take off points and track about a foul odour and .............

..... and given that it has been 2 hours since my last post, it would need another fire to be lit under the 2nd fire in order to warm up that frozen fire, to warm up the 1st fire again.

 

Below is a photo of the 2nd fire, just before it froze and was about to extinguish.

 

It was certainly bitterly cold as described in Onesie's post, but not as bad as in '73, when six fires needed to be lit in order to keep fire # 1 alite and stop the flames from freezing. We think that this was the record "FIRE STACK".

On another night on the Khyber Pass when Cappy and Turbo had six nesting fires going, an icy wind blew down the valley and one of the flames froze just as Turbo bent down to get the last goat rib and he was cut on the ..............................

Cappy remembers his time with Turbo, up the Khyber, with great fondness, because this is where their lifelong friendship was forged, as they watched each other's back (NTTIAWWT). Plus Turbo is very warm, not so much in personality, but in body heat and therefore he is a useful cuddle (NTTIAWWTE) on a cold wet night when the natives are restless, the bullets are flying (avref) and there is no alternative.

....disease, the Blotch, which Turbo would prefer not to talk about. It's so bad the treatment is a monthly bath of sulphuric acid, but they give you a free cup of tea afterwards.

After noticing that, as we can see in Cappy's photo above, there were quite large gaps in the frozen flames, Turbo decided he could fit a Thruster through them, so he borrowed on and made several successful transitions, then started to weave in and out, but he hadn't noticed the sun coming up and before he could stop himself he ...........................

Confidential Comment...... Turbo has affectionately been known, behind his back of course, as "The Blotch" by 1Root, bull, the CT, Crappy and by Planey, ever since he joined Wreck Flying back last century. 

 

The 1st blotches appeared after Turdy had a night on the town in Jamrud and Tubb has been unable to shake it off ..... although he did confide once to Cappy that that night had been worth it.

 

(Cappy, ever the entrepreneur had even proposed The Blotch as a new character in the next Batman movie)

 

This is but one reason why the fighting soldiery know the area as the Khyber Puss (Erky Perky I know).

 

Turbo's shocking appearance is also the reason why 1Root has only ever had that one, for fear of catching something similar.

....wasn't the sharpest tool in the drawer as well.  Cappy had just been foxing and had managed to fool everyone in the room.  His crew (a group of local volunteers including Ahlox) had rolled out a Ferarri red Beechcraft Staggerwing. Turbo, who had been invited along to watch Cappy retraining these people had been there on the day when Cappy had taken him to a Griffith Chicken growers property to pick it up. It was a skeleton covered by chicken droppings. Cappy had exploded because it had been advertised as "needs a wash and she'll be right to fly" but a few years of loving work by Cappy had it performing to the standard Walter Beech had set, and Cappy now jumped in and threaded it in and out of the 50 foot pine trees along the boundary and parked it in the hangar at the end of the landing roll.

The combined CASA and NTSB operatives broke out into a chatter and one yank yelled out "That flying was goddamned RECKLESS; that's not doing the right thing!"   

"What flying?" said Cappy and in measured and precise tones taught them what getting evidence entailed.

No one ever questioned him again, and he went on to instill .......................
