What Cheered You Up Today? (1 Viewer)

[Vic Balshaw]

New smoker may get packed with Pork Butts this weekend slow smoked for pulled pork sandwiches, who's coming over?

Sounds great, jut let me check the flight reservations.............

 

[Wayne Little]

got a spare ticket and seat Vic?

 

[BikerBabe]

Bought myself a new pair of gloves today, as the old ones can barely hold together.
It's this model:

And visited a hobby shop in Copenhagen on the way home from work, I "just happened" to "accidentally" order a "yellow-nosed bastard" of a Bf-109 - 1/48 - with Mickey Mouse painted on the side.
Almost decided to walk home with Bader's Spit in 1/32, but if the choice stands between Galland's 109 and Bader's Spit...guess what?
I'll wait.

Good stuff Maria

 

[Njaco]

Haven't been on the past few days because........ I've been to a campout party! Bring a tent and beer and have fun! Great time!

 

[BikerBabe]

It sure looks great, Njaco! Hope you had a great time!

My good thing today?
Digging up more facts in the church books online about my danish family...turns out that my maternal grandmother's father was....ta-daaaaaaaaa.....a JÖNSSON from SWEDEN!
Lord knows how I'll find out more about HIS family, since I haven't got the faintest idea about where in Sweden he comes from, well - time'll tell. There's gotta be some kind of records here in Denmark about him, I guess.
The rest of my danish family is danish so far. Am definitely looking forward to digging up more stuff about 'em all.

After last week's fiasco of losing a car I was about to buy, to theft and fire, I finally got one today. It's old, it's a hairdresser's 4 x4, but it's in good nick generally, it's mine bought and paid for, and I'm now mobile again, instead of being tied to within a few hundred yards of the bl**dy house ! Yippee !!!!

if its pink i'm going nowhere with you mate, unless i'm following in my motor !

just kidding glad your mobile again Dogsbody

 

[Airframes]

Believe it or not it is ..... the same colour as the Jeep, dark metallic blue!
Gets 39 mpg on a run too, and around 27 around town, a bit different from the 4 litre Jeep at 18mpg !!

 

[BikerBabe]

Congrats w. the new wheels Terry, I hope you two are going to have a long happy "life" together - you deserve it after the mess w. the other car!

My good thing?

Went for a motorcycle ride with buddy Jørn today - to Frederikssund and Kulhuse.
Had our lunch at Frederikssund, and the afternoon coffee at Kulhuse, when one of the locals asked us if we had seen the seal that was resting on a big stone right off the beach at Kulhuse.
Well no, and so I went seal "hunting" with my camera, and managed to get a few half decent shots of the seal.
It's the first time I've ever seen a wild seal that close here in Denmark, so that was definitely the experience of the day!

Apart from that, the weather's been great today, and we had a really good day together, bringing the kilometer counter up to 62,338 km's (38,735 miles) - that's okay for a 2008 beemer model R1200RT.
Alright, to tell you the truth, the first 3,000 km's (1864 miles) belongs to the previous owner.

 

[vikingBerserker]

A 4x4 that gets 39 mpg???

NICE!

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Maria, and sounds like you had a great day out.
David, it is a hairdresser's car - even has a compartment for a hair drier! It's a Suzuki Vitara, a bit of a change (OK a big change!) from the Jeep Cherokee and Range Rover etc I had before! Be nice to do some economic motoring, especially with the price of fuel here in the UK, the equivalent of more than $8 US per gallon !!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice to know your mobile again Terry, what happened to the Cherokee?

As for me........It was just a great day without ant mishaps.............a first for this week.

 

[Wayne Little]

Some good modelling time today!
