Great pics Mark! I live down this way and recently walked the 6 odd miles
from Kimmeridge to Lulworth Cove - if only the weather over here was that
good all year round

Wow, I only asked a couple of simple questions, both of which seemed 
reasonable.  I am sorry that you choose to be so anti-American, especially 
considering everything this country has provided for you and others here.  My 
original question was prompted by the fact that this week many proud and 
observant Americans reflected on the supreme sacrifices this country has made 
for others, including over 140,000 men who will never come home from Europe and 
who are forever to be what you might consider "emperialist occupiers" of those 
countries.  I never mentioned politics, and I would certainly not care to 
discuss them, especially on this forum.

Didn't say the US was bad as your twisted Rush Limbaugh reply indicated, just 
we acted like total assholes for the last eight years.  We deserve the 
snobbish, egomaniac, imperialist labels, much like your nearsided reply, earned 
by our imperialist actions of the eight years.

So, when are you planning on leaving and where are you choosing to go live that

Beautiful area and photos, but what is with this comment?:

"She was Brazilian,and he was Peruvian.  I said I was American, and she 
groaned.  I can't blame her.


"

Are you being apologetic for being American and for being from the country that 
saved that country from falling to the Germans?

NetHeads,

My wife recently bought me a gizmo to weigh my bag before I come back over from 
here (I didn't want to bring my 10-pound 400 lb scale that I bought for weight 
and balances), and it's only $15-$20 (at least that's what you would admit).  
Last night I was trying to figure out what else I could do with it, and it 
occured to me that it might as well have been custom designed to read stick 
forces!    It even reads in tenths of a pound.  See http://www.balanzza.com/ 
for details.  I think it was bought at Target or somewhere similar.  I smell 
stick force testing in the air.  The only irritating thing is that it locks in 
on a number after a second or so, rather than a continuous reading, but I think 
it'll be helpful.

Also, I'm in the middle of filling in my logbook (the last entry was November), 
and it looks like I'm going to break 760 hours in the KR.  The EIS info is how 
I really keep up with flights and hours.  I name each flight a "flight number" 
with a little description in the title like "LCL" or "OSH-return", and the 
hobbs hours are in the file.  Number of landings is easy...I just scroll 
through the airspeed and altitude columns to find where I slowed down below 50 
mph, and count each one of those as a landing.  It's either a landing or a 
crash, anyway. The date of the flight is the date of the EIS log file.   I also 
reference the EIS file number in the logbook entry, so I can always go back and 
find a second-by-second account of the flight if I ever need it.

Horton and Jones are tring to close the gap, but I'll be back for good in 2-3 
months.

Oh, and here's the link to where I went on the recent "bank holiday monday", 
May 25th.  See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/andover/durdle_door/ for what I 
think are some pretty cool pictures from 50 miles south of here.

NetHeads,

My wife recently bought me a gizmo to weigh my bag before I come back over from 
here (I didn't want to bring my 10-pound 400 lb scale that I bought for weight 
and balances), and it's only $15-$20 (at least that's what you would admit).  
Last night I was trying to figure out what else I could do with it, and it 
occured to me that it might as well have been custom designed to read stick 
forces!It even reads in tenths of a pound.  See http://www.balanzza.com/

stick force testing in the air.  The only irritating thing is that it locks in 
on a number after a second or so, rather than a continuous reading, but I think 
it'll be helpful.

Also, I'm in the middle of filling in my logbook (the last entry was November), 
and it looks like I'm going to break 760 hours in the KR.  The EIS info is how
