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. -
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

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 lolOriginally posted by Heath M View Post
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.Leave a comment:

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.Originally posted by Heath M View Post
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.Leave a comment:

Time to get the dusting rag out and let a bit of Aussie humour be doled out... I saw that Andy Pandy was in top form at the open....total collapse ...I guess his balls were deflated....Dolly would have put on a better show at least she could have said baaaahhhh rather than Andy's gesticulations and mutterings.

Paddy just announced completion of his goat proof fence .. so now it's safe for Douggie to come visit us down under, because the fence will keep him safe at night from those territorial billy goats ( or is the fence to keep Paddy inside at night ?? )Leave a comment:

Yes Douggie, my health has improved a lot since I retired. It is amazing what 8 hours sleep does for us instead of 3 to 4 hours each night. I am looking forward to getting boats back on the water. I have been using my model planes and cars simply because they are easy things to get ready. I have had one of my cars up to 137kph and hope for more speed when I get time to do a body. I hope your house move kept you close to some boating water.

Paddy, you sound in good spirits and have almost reached the end of the trials and tribulations of a new house. I just moved into a brand new digs and did not lift a finger and love it. The only issue was the angst in dealing with numerous individuals egos, greed and downright skullduggery in the sale of the previous apartment complex of which I was one of many owners.
It is great that you and the Doc will be off to view that boat festival and yes they are a labour of love, skill and time......enjoy greasing your shaft and watch out for trees and corners in your other R/C hobbies.

Hahaha Douggie you old wombat it is so good to know you are still about. 5 times over the legal limit just shows the boy is but a teenager. Give him time and he will do better.
I have been so busy building a garden, fences and drains at the new house but the end is in sight. Doc Wayne is talking about coming here soon so we can go to a wooden boat festival. I love those old boats and the craftsmanship that goes into making them. June works for a guy that has built one with a steam engine in it and he even uses it to go fishing in. I will post some pics of the old boats if we go but it is not until February. Yes spring has sprung and time to wipe the dust off the boats and grease my shaft and make some rooster tails.
