my library just retired the Steinhoff book , I bought it for a looney (looney is Canadian slang for our dollar as the coin has a depiction of the Loon)Ordering the following books online from my library:
Raymond F. Toliver; Trevor J. Constable: The Blond Knight of Germany.
Günther Just: Stuka pilot - Hans-Ulrich Rudel : his life story in words and photographs
Johannes Steinhoff: The final hours : the Luftwaffe plot against Göring
and Leonard Mosley: Battle of Britain: The making of a film.
With a little luck, they get the books for me before the end of the week.

Good thing you managed to get hold of it.
My local library usually gets that kind of books from the danish air force library, and if they haven't got it, they either look for it at their storage rooms, or they order it from a foreign library.
Now that's service!
But judging from the preview that I found online, it sure looks like it's worth a read, maybe even a go-hunting-for-the-book-online.
Good thing today?
Started on the water gym team again today after a prolonged break - three bouts of the flu and two turns with pneumonia'll set one back a while.
Anyway, it was good to be back in the water, even though I feel like I could need a chiropractor now!

Wooo I have very brief internet access! Saw two real life Kiwis today, which is a lot harder than you'd think as despite being the national symbol most New Zealanders have never seen one. Now I'm not normally soppy but they are quite amazingly cute! Also found the Kea, which are tubby alpine parrots with a habit of stealing food from your hands, pulling nails from wood and attacking cars. I would say I want one as a pet but I doubt that would work............

"Special Hobby"... have just discovered them and had a delivery of some of their kits. Thay look fantastic... as well as the nicely moulded injection sprues there are lots of resin bits, photo-etched parts, great decal selections and unusual choices of aircraft with great decal schemes. Can't wait to get stuck into one. Suddenly I feel like a proper modeller. 8)

Has gotten the very first christmas card of the year, from someone, whose signature I just can't read.
It's from one of my biker buddies, but who...I just don't know.

Your $20? Or someone elses? Karma. Believe it, B. Turn it in. If it's not claimed (surely you didn't brag about it, right buddy?), likely the school will give it to you after a period of time. To do otherwise is theft.

Oh, almost forgot:
Found a set of almost unused Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals at one of my used-stuff-shops today.
The set was about to be thrown out because the shop ladies couldn't sell the pedal set, so I got it for free - they were just happy to get rid of the things. Sometimes, luck do smile at me.

Well Matt, it was 'addressed' to me....
It wasn't a random 20 dollars......
It was 'taped' to the inside of my locker.
No I didn't brag.

American West (Colorado/Utah etc) isn't bad either Harrison, so you can look forward to that.
Well it is now tomorrow, so I have sort of packed and unfortunately have got to leave at 8am to make sure I don't miss the bus which leaves from University at 11am...
Pics when I get back...
