The 2017 Annual RAN SH Sydney Rocks Xmas Pub Crawl Smokey

Smiley and Viv have been in contact and all is looking good.

I have my annual medical to pass by late August and my annual Instrument Proficiency Check by the end of September. I'm not expecting any problems on either front. Its going to be a great trip.

I agree with "toots'' I need a bigger plane but my wife doesn't agree, so we'll just have to suffer the Mustang.

The previous owners probably couldn't be bothered to put it out on the footpath for council pick-up week. I've seen hundreds of these type machines ditched/thrown out/discarded because all the owners eventually get tired of using them and they are no where near as good as "actually getting out there in the open" and running/jogging. In fact, some health sites warn against using them because the owners get dismayed/upset/dejected without any visible positive signs of better cardiovascular, stamina or strength effect after hours of use. It certainly will be absolutely no help without a balanced alcohol/food diet based on good healthy eating.....

What an idiot I am, PW... :snap:

I guess I'd better chuck it out then, :hiding:

eh...?

Sadly, I left my run a tad late to book to go hiking to EBC, or trekking up Kilimanjaro... :bugger:

I will almost guarantee that you will fall out of love with it within 6 months. You will start off very keen and then slowly, slowly you'll stop using it. As for the other stuff .........most definitely!! You trek to EBC and you climb Kili!!!
But good luck with it ............ prove me wrong!!! (see how I just gave you some incentive to stick with it??) :grin:

Thanks for your encouragement, PW... :notworthy:

...your opinion of my efforts are so important to me... :icare:
