I have the house to myself. Some local Redhook IPA. Ribeye steak, baked potato and salad. Clean sheets. I love my family, but once a year I enjoy some time alone.
 
Getting the car ready for monday:
Washing, vacuuming, refilling the variuous fluids (Servo, sprinkler), fresh air in the tyres - what with the state of the Copenhagen roads, it now feels like it has got square wheels!
Oh, and getting in touch with a guy whol wants to lend the museum his Sirius Patrol patches and some photos for our exhibit about the police in Greenland.
 
Thanks Matt.

My good things for today?
Well, actually there's two things:
One of my friends just told me on Facebook that there's going to be an airshow at Avedøre tomorrow from 10 to 4 in the afternoon, and a friend (Jørn) and I are going.
And tomorrow night amusement park Bakken closes, which means lots of motorcycles in Copenhagen, that rides from Copenhagen to Bakken north of Copenhagen (- it's a long-standing biker tradition here) - and we're a bunch of guys going together.

So that means planes in the early afternoon for us, and motorcycles in the evening - a day doesn't get much more perfect than that!
Oops, gotta recharge camera batteries galore - bbl!

for some strange reason I decided to Google my name. Among all the Address spam webites I came across..... a copyright for one of my songs from the old days!! Apparently one of my bandmates decided to send in a copy of the song with lyrics back in 1985 and they registered it!!! I have a patent!!

Wild child - song, music - Copyright Info

its the 15 down. This is so goofy.
 
Buying some neat stuff cheaply yesterday:
First, some nice older magazines ( "Flyv" - or "Flight" in english) with a few interesting articles, an old book, bought more for old times' sake than anything else, and a brochure about the Heinkel He-111.
And I also got me a nice Harvard-t-shirt, thereby supporting the Harvard guys 'n girls in Avedøre, who spend their tuesdays and thursday nights restoring old aircraft back to airworthy state again.
Among their projects were a Harvard 309, which finally became airborne after ten years of work, the museum in Stauning received it. Unfortunately the 309 crashed during a practice flight, wrecking the aircraft and killing the pilot.
The Harvard Club is currently working on a Taylorcraft Auster J1N from 1946.

And a funny thing happened yesterday/today:
Talked with the guy who'll let the museum borrow his Sirius patch and some photos for the Greenland exhibit today - it turned out that he also were at the Bakken arrangement yesterday, on his Honda motorcycle.
He was parked right next to Jørn and me on Nørrebrogade, and we didn't even know it.
Small world alright.

Aaaaaaaaand...*gahasp*...I'm about to start sorting out the 6-700 photos I shot yesterday, from both the fly-in and the Bakken arrangement! *rubs hands* Yay!
Shot two camera cards full, there's gotta be some bad shots in between - delete, then I make a list of the pics I want to use, and then I'll start GIMPing them.

Got hold of "The World At War"-dvd box set cheaply today: 250 Dkr, or approx. 43 US$.
Am now on episode 5: Banzai!, and has just enjoyed watching episode 4: Alone, about the BoB - there was an interview with - among others - Adolf Galland in that episode.

Oh, and discovered that Virginia "Ginny" Bader's (- yup - daughter of Douglas Bader) shop is soon going to start selling a three-dvd-set with Galland interviews and stuff, with plenty of never-before seen material (- among other things: Gun-cam footage and unpublished interviews) with or about Adolf Galland.

EDIT:
Hey, also got the latest issue (- at least here in DK) of "The Classic Motorcycle" magazine.
OooOOoooh yummy! Yay!
