It cost me $20.00 to see a Filipino messman fry ice cream aboard the USS Conyngham, back in 1969.

Blasted work all week. Just a bit tomorrow, Friday, of time and perhaps some Saturday. Been doing little bits and pieces. Have tgo find some of the "engine gray" color for the exterior, and international orange. Have found the Testors 2022 is a match for the orange and 1791 is the engine gray I am after. So These will be my next quest.

Will be away for two weeks of R&R, just the wife and myownself. Just need some time away. Adelaide here we come. Jacobs Creek Retreat a couple of days, maybe a round of goff. A visit to the Borossa Valley. Some seafood and just laze around.

Then back to the whipper snipper, refreshed.
 
Well, I am jealous, even if I know about as much of golf as football.
Have a fine time, we'll hold down the fort for you!
Give my best to your better half.
 
Well my first night in Adelaide....... right down in the CBD.... found a great pub, the Elephant, just off Rundle St! Recommend it. Found a place on Rundle St, Chop Stix. I had salt and pepper crocodile..... it was Fantastic! Recommend this little place as well.

Went to the Royal Adelaide Show today, great bus system, right to the front door from down town. Annie wanted to see the Famous Drumming Monkeys, friggin puppets, gave them the flick. Then the Racing Pigs! What a show..... see the photos! Diving and all. But then we found this guy in the stands, He was broken, as you can plainly see!!!!!!

Then in the Technology building! WOW. Tenth graders doing car racing. They were charged with a CO2 cartridge on a wood track about 50 feet long. Raced side by side wire guided. Best part is the did the car design from a specific sized balsa Designed in Inventor CAD program, then a three axis CNC router cut them from the balsa. There were a bunch of schools there competing. Timing lights and reaction times for a hand held starting switch, like a drag race. It was the coolest thing. When I was in the tenth grade I was making white line blue prints processed in the sink with water. Times have changed.

Looks like you're having a great time Bill. When you order the salt n' pepper crocodile, do you say 'and make it snappy' ...... it's OK, I'm leaving now !
 
No Vic, not even close to a sheila.......
it was truly, a broken tradie!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight Wayne.

Did the air museums today.

The jet one was the better. They're making an F4U into a static display piece. Been working on her for two years now, maybe four more to go. There is a P-39 and a P-38 in the main building that were restored in their shop. Found out what makes it a static display piece only is the fact non-approved aluminum is used, along with unskilled volunteers. But they are doing a bang up job. There is a Mirage in the shop as well.

The other has some good stuff, but not as exciting as the restorations. Then the Maritime Museum at Port Adelaide. Another nicely done museum. A whole ship indoors, and a recent Titanic addition. So now we are museumed out.
