well no flying but just as much fun

Post by gary stenhouse »

well no flying to day but after 2 hours of blizzards the drive down from model was enough addreniline for any one. it was more like the waltzer than driving, you know your in trouble when yoou are stationary and you start to slide then side ways backwards scarry stuff good job the road was narrow to keep on wedging me.

however finished the day off with a good paramor with the skis

cheers gary

No flying just digging

Had a ride up to west hill with Noam and ended up digging the land rover out after sliding off the track past the farm ! Not nice like you say Gary sliding backwards side ways thought it might tip at one point

I bet the neighbours around Blyth love you, looking at the track.

I can hear them now....

Oh that's a shame for a minute there I had a picture of you crashing through garden fences and boncing over garden sheds with your throttle stuck open :wink:

Got a wee bit of snow over here and cranked up one of my ski tows on Binsey, had a great day including getting my 2yr old daughter Katy sliding on her new skis for her first truns of her second season skiing. A wee video here if you have a facebook account: http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video. ... 4&comments

Will be open until the snow goes all welcome.

Seemingly Brian tried to have a go, "but couldn't get it up"... I get plenty emails regarding this sort of problem Brian, I could forward you a couple if you wish?

No need to worry Steve, you keep all the emails for your problem!
Wasn't that I couldn't get it up, it just came up a bit wonky!
Apparently it gives more satisfaction that way!
I saw the smile of anticipation on Gary's face, so got it down as quick as I could and went for a blast on the skis with the fan just to make sure I'd cooled off. :lol:
See you out there!!!!!

Came up a bit wonky?!.... I may have to have a word on how to achieve this, does it require braising, supports or just practise? I can see the smile of anticipation on the wife's face.

Good stuff :lol:

There's a big ramp in the middle of the field, on the third lap I was getting closer and looking, I knew then, it was time to stop, I could just imagine the consequences of leaning too far back on take off!
See you out there!!!!!

Start by tightening the underwear, if you're still wearing the old baggy grey ones you're going to have to borrow hers again. She'll be well pleased if you can get a spiral in it, but that will take a lot of practice with the thong, leave the lacy ones till later, they just give a nice ribbed pattern. :lol:
