    Again. The Masterful Site Administrator proves his mettle on our behalf. Twelve days... I am 21 years too old to be considered for the position of Flight Controller.

    Re: birthdays; what if the anniversary date of this website remains in the mainstream? Seems to me to be a worthwhile milestone that we can all appreciate!

    Any thoughts on it?

    I can only say Wow! too. Has it really been 9 wonderful years with you guys? I still dream of Dynes here in Australia in the middle of winter - thank God, not yr northern winters with SNOW!!!!, but it's still bl. cold & wet... So enjoy it and thanks for the brilliant rebuilds, resurrections, pics etc. I've just spent 4.5 years in hospital, so it has let me dream of still owning an 18!!!! Sigh
    Thanks very much, kind regards

    Down Under. ..
    Where men are men and single payer national health care actually works and prevails over illnesses and multitudes of physical ailments.
    Now if they could just have their guns back...

    Nick,
    One quick clear reference to the matter and it is post haste back to Hydrodynes; the deterrent effect of having the right to bear arms makes potential miscreants think twice and the founders of this here country needed the colonists to act as an army in their own interests of freedom from the oppression of King George. The Boston Tea Party was launched over a one half of one percent hike in the tax on one commodity...tea. Sure glad the Hydrodynes were not present since tea stains dentures, think what it could have done to the hulls!
