I promised to do this late last year...so here goes

Another year over…I hope you had fun…(pinched from J Lennon)

(Actually it ended 13 days ago...but I'm a slow learner)

2010 was the year that brought you;

Wikileaks…and a disproportionate response…

To RASP or not to RASP…and other fabled weather forecasts…

6 land-outs in GNM…sorta said it all really…

To Blog or not to Blog…and a disproportionate response…

Some new blood to gliding but unfortunately many more leaving…

Sadly, lots of accidents…

11,000kms of X-Country flying last summer…(but it looks like a lot less this year)

50mm of rain in late December…yipee (and then another 150mm showed up just before Xmas...double yipee)

PSa…no, not the Public Service Assoc, but Pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae…

$7 per kilo for Milksolids…thanks to Mr & Mrs China…

More new gliding gadgets…most noticeably, Oudie, PowerFlarm, Nano, Spot and Soaring Spot…

The short life, demise, and then the apparent resurrection, of the Rebelsoarer…(as a hint there is a spell checker in the top right hand corner...it might help..."braindead" became briandead (which will be news to him), or draindead...that might be better suited to Brisbane) But keep going any comments are better then none...

The bruised and battered body of the club’s newsletter editor found on the side of the road…well not really, but he decided it was time for a change…

Somewhere on the horizon a new Duodiscus XLT going X-country...but not yet...

Enough rambling…now for something different…facts, oh how boring I hear you think, or thought you said…

This year I posted 194 posts on the blog site, up from 164 the year before. Reaction was varied…3 blogs directly addressed issues at the local club and for that I received a letter, a motion in the club’s minutes and some rather silly comments from a few others (some of which should know better). The concept of Free Speech is a fragile beast...

Blog views are running at about 2-3000 per month...I have no idea what that means. The topic's of most interest are the ones I got slapped about with a wet bus ticket...

And if you got this far down the page you are a sad sack and need help...or to go flying. Tomorrow has some promise...and I'm available for Duo ratings on Saturday...
