Same Heath. Just got to dust the boats down, grease the shafts, excite the batteries and I should be away. I will wait until it cools off a bit more as some locals think water is only for fishing in.
Hi Douggie you old wombat. Good to see you are still here too. Doc Wayne and one of his friends from the US of A have been playing with pigs balls on FaceBook. I was pleased when it finally come around to pictures of scantily dressed women.Several boats in various stages of destructionComment

Hi ya paddy long time no type with lol I sold most of my stuff so having to falk out big dollars again. I did keep a 35" mono that j6st needs electrics so thats a start. I think you may have even bought some of my gear.
is Andy still boating?Brisbane,QLD, AussieComment

Yes a long time and you are coming back at a bad time with the Aussie dollar falling so low. I am sure I did get some of your gear. I have intentions of fixing up all the dings and repaint most of my boats as I get time. I am retired but never have enough time lol
I believe Andy is still boating but just does not come to the forums anymore. Doc W will be able to tell you more about that. Andy went gas with his boats.Several boats in various stages of destructionComment

AU still has a largish crowd of people playing toy boats... and the % of those with electric is increasing each month ..
.
AndyM was selling his gas rigger last I spoke with him ( 2013 or 4?) but I now know less of him than of the Lockness Monster..
.
Ive had a year and bit off due corrective surgery to a busted half leg .. hopes are high to be walking and stalking pretty young ladies again soon ...
Oh, always building/running/breaking and/or selling boats ...
Low mobility at the lake offered more shed time
Michael B has been commissioned to build me a 44 " of the Problem Child Bullet Hydro .. hopes are high for a launch before mid year ( hurry up, matey ! )
.
My EntropyLipo sponsored Kris Flynn now holds a world record at SAW .. his EA Sports hydro eclipsed the crowd at 97.22mph ...... a new setting for others to beat ...
Almost living the dream

Good to see this thread coming back to life. Haven't had much contact with the down under folks except for Doc Wayne. Paddy sorry for how the Packers did at the NFC playoffs ... very disappointed in how they played the last 5 minutes of the game.IMPBA 20481S D-12Comment

Hi Chuck and sorry for putting you in Jail but you were not the only one. Anyone that had a model went in there. Bad boat day lol. Ahhh the Packers done a lot better than St Kilda Chuck. The girls choir that sing at Doc Wayne's brothel on Sunday mornings could play with balls better than St Kilda last year.
Are you still doing props Chuck? I cant sharpen an axe and I have problems with my own balance now-days so I would have Buckley's hope of doing a prop.
What's going on below Chuck?

Chicken Catcher
Douggie I am sure you came across this guy in the chicken sheds at night.
This guy put a tear in my eye and I sure could play boats with him. I guess he is famous by now but last night was the first time I had seen him and I was totally gobsmacked once he started to sing

Paddy, I am not a big fan of country music but the way he waltzed onto the stage and answered the questions was classic...loved him right away and the boy can play...much preferred the simple solo with guitar to the overdone mainstream version.
Good to see that a lot of the old farts are alive and kicking...a lot has changed in the years for me...got divorced for the second time....retired...almost went back to Bonny Scotland (too expensive)...gave up the bottle or I would be dead....still play with toys.....love travelling(met a whole bunch of Aussies on my last trip and we had fun!!)....no lassies at this moment (have not found one that could put with me and me with them!) but all in all life is grand, except for the aging process (creaky bones) but that is life.

Country is not something I buy Douggie but I can listen to it and I agree with you about his performance. He did go on and win Americas Got Talent (Just none in the Whitehouse) in 2009 and won a million dollars for his trouble. I haven't researched more but I bet he has a steady income these days. Good to see a poor boy make good.
Don't talk to me about pain Douggie, I have been married too and technically still am. I think the pain of having a wife is worse that what our tired old bodies throw at us everyday. A new set of knees and some bromide in my tea to settle the trouser snake a little and i would be good. I have retired and moved into the new house and still building the gardens, hothouse, berry garden, fences, gates, drains etc. I am loving being retired but even though I have said it a few times I have not really got to any regular RC boating but that is going to happen this winter. Not getting snow and ice here means winter is the best time for high speed runs as all our mornings give us water like glass. Well I should go and put the kettle on and sink a coffee. Good to hear you are still breathing atmosphere. I am going to leave OSE open every day but only on here this part at the moment as I am too busy to read all the other good stuff.Several boats in various stages of destructionComment

Is there any chance that Tony will offer me an Australian knighthood? I think I have better credentials that Prince Phil....Might be a bit too late though, as Tony might be on the barbie tonight.

Not so hasty Paddy, I still want that knighthood. I can just see myself telling all wankers to piss off as I am a knight of the shepherd's pie, standing there in my wellies with my knotted hankie at a jaunty angle, resting on my almost bald head.
